Iggy Azalea Tops Maxim Hot 100 List 2014 But ‘Black Widow’ Songstress Fuming Mad? Rapper Says Maxim Australia’s Cover Is A Recycled Photo

Iggy Azalea recently nabbed the top spot for the Maxim Hot 100 List 2014 but the "Black Widow" songstress was not pleased with how things turned out. Nick Young's girlfriend is claiming that Maxim Australia's cover is a reused image of her which was taken three years ago.

In a series of Twitter posts which were later deleted, the 24-year-old songstress blamed her record label's Australian division.

"I'm going to publicly say something to the australian division of my record label right now because my message seems to be ignored privately. Stop giving permission on my behalf for magazines to purchase images of me that have already been printed in major publications for covers," she wrote.

"Australian label, I love you guys but you allowed my image to be sold to cosmo Aus when I told you I would prefer for that not to happen," she added.

She said that the photo of her clad in a gold monokini was already used for a magazine in 2011: "And now this morning I see you've allowed maxim australia to buy an image from a 2011 complexmag shoot and put it on the cover. ... Clearly aren't respecting my wishes. A magazine cover deserves an accompanying photoshoot not a reused image."

While her label did not responded to her tweet, Maxim Australia did.

"we couldn't agree more! We begged both your US management and Aussie label for a cover shoot & interview but were denied," read the tweet.

The magazine added that they would love to do a photo shoot with the "Fancy" songstress: "Just say when, where and how high and we'll jump! #loveiggy #maximhot100."

The "Problem" rapper appreciated the magazine's response and tweeted them back: "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."
