Surprise! Iggy Azalea went on another Twitter rant. This time it's about her upcoming spring/summer footwear collaboration with shoe company Steve Madden.

On Thursday, the hip-hop artist discovered alleged photos on a "random" Tumblr page, which is now password-protected. Azalea immediately took to Twitter to share her thoughts about the Steve Madden campaign.

"I'vd [sic] been bamoozeled [sic] with a tumblr page where everyone wears socks and takes unintentional crotch shots on pool toys. I'm in shock," she wrote. "Tainted with these God awful images that Steve Madden took appon [sic] themselves to create and share without my knowledge. Gross gross gross."

So it seems like Azalea prematurely blamed Steve Madden for images she wasn't sure they were connected with. She has since deleted the tweets.

However, before the Tumblr page was taken down, the Internet was exposed to the images and GIFs that included headless models, crotch shots, photos of Azalea, and text like "Modern-day Spice Girls," and "Unapologetic, loud and fun."

And while the images on the Tumblr page did match the shoes the star posted on Instagram when she announced the collaboration, Azalea then posted an Instagram photo to clear up the bad blood on Friday.

 For the record: I absolutely LOVE these images, they are from the shoot I directed for my Steve Madden campaign. Im incredibly proud of the shoes we've made together, as well as these images that I've been anxiously waiting to share with you all. What I had a "rant" about on Twitter isn't in regards to these pictures, it was about another, different set of images i wasn't a part of creating that I felt weren't reflective of my vision and direction for the collection. I'm an artist and I'm extremely passionate and emotional and crazy sometimes because I care ALOoOoot about this shit! I love Steve and he gets it! Artists clash sometimes, it doesn't mean I dislike the brand. I love Steve Madden as an individual and as a company. I have 3 more seasons I'm making with these guys and I'm going to enjoy it. Shit just happens sometimes and you gotta fight for what you believe in! I believe in this collection immensely; that's why I just wanted it to be perfect. it comes out tomorrow and I hope you guys enjoy it because I put my heart and soul into them! Sorry for the drama! I didn't mean for it to turn into some big blog situation (as usual) but I'm not gonna sit back and totally let Steve Madden get dragged under the bus because as a whole they're awesome ppl. I just don't support neoprene Jesus sandals WITH socks

Her post shows herself modeling the shoes, writing that she loves these images. "Im incredibly proud of the shoes we've made together, as well as these images that I've been anxiously waiting to share with you all," she posted. "What I had a 'rant' about on Twitter isn't in regards to these pictures, it was about another, different set of images i wasn't a part of creating that I felt weren't reflective of my vision and direction for the collection."

Steve Madden responded saying that when artists come together, "there are fireworks," but they look forward to the campaign.
