It’s been a rough week for Iggy Azalea. She’s been the unfortunate target of a cruel bullying spree from Snoop Dogg, and now she’s taking her Australian label to task.
stop giving permission on my behalf for magazines to purchase images of me that have already been printed in major publications for covers.

“Im going to publicly say something to the australian division of my record label right now because my message seems to be ignored privately,” she tweeted earlier Thursday (Oct. 16). “Stop giving permission on my behalf for magazines to purchase images of me that have already been printed in major publications for covers.”

Apparently, Iggy’s Australian label just allowed Maxim Australia to use photos from a 2011 shoot for Complex, which the rapper had requested not be used (see the cover here). Prior to that, Azalea alleges the label also allowed Cosmopolitan‘s Australian imprint to use photos of her without her permission.
“A magazine cover deserves an accompanying photoshoot not a reused image,” she opined. It’s awfully hard to argue with that.
Finally, she insinuated an interview wasn’t even done to accompany the cover:
maxim australia, thanks for the love and I’m sorry no one asked me. i would have love to have given an interview & done a shoot with u guys

The current issue of Maxim Australia has Iggy on the cover because she topped their annual Hot 100 list.
