This Bizarrely Competitive Twitter Exchange Between Iggy Azalea And Peppa Pig Escalated Alarmingly Fast
Just when you think you've seen it all, 2019 comes at us with yet another news item for the ages.
It should really come as no shock that Iggy Azalea and Peppa Pig got entangled in a bizarre Twitter feud after Peppa announced that she was dropping an album this Friday.
Because of course they did.
The big news was tweeted from Peppa Pig's official Twitter account on Monday afternoon.
Peppa Pig My First Album is available to stream this Friday! π€Are your little ones excited? You can already listenβ¦ https://t.co/6DobuHIiX1β Peppa Pig Official (@Peppa Pig Official) 1563214980.0
Unfortunately, this Friday also happens to be the same day Iggy Azalea is set to drop her sophomore album, In My Defense.
Azalea was understandably devastated by the prospect of being crushed by a cartoon pig.
Itβs over for me now. https://t.co/pWfsAgUbUzβ IGGY AZALEA (@IGGY AZALEA) 1563269254.0
Perhaps there was some sarcastic shade happening, but Peppa then responded in kind, doubling down on her own bravado using one of Azalea's lyrics.
