Pretty girls they might be, but things between Britney Spears and Australia rapper Iggy Azalea soon got ugly on social media, Daily Mail reported on its website. The 25-year-old Azalea was less than happy that the duet she performed with Spears, Pretty Girls, only went to number 29 in the Billboard charts.Azalea reportedly felt not enough was done to promote the song and she seemed to pin the blame on Spears.Spears lashed back on Monday, tweeting: "Can't wait to get back to Vegas. So thankful I have shows for the rest of the year to look forward to. #YouWantAPiece-OfMe."Azalea cancelled her upcoming Great Escape tour ostensibly because she had a " creative change of heart " - but others claim she was unable to land supporting acts for all the concerts, the Daily Mail said.Spears' concerts on the Vegas Strip have been so successful that her residency has been extended for two more years.The video for Pretty Girls has clocked up 78 million views on YouTube.Spears fans went into a tizz over her comments but Azalea did not blanch, tweeting The Pop Zone music forum: "My comment is factual, it applies to any song. I don't have to suck the woman's asshole 24/7 to be her friend, do I? Bye girls."..
