LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Australian rapper Iggy Azalea announced on Twitter Wednesday she is "taking some time away from social media" to be happy. The 24-year-old star wrote in a series of tweets she would hand over control of her social media accounts to her management team because the "hatred and pettiness" she sees online is making her "become an angry person" that she does not wish to be.

To become nasty because of the way I feel iam treated would be a disservice to my fans and I promise i will try to keep smiling.
— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) February 19, 2015But I also want to let my fans know iam taking some time away from social media. I need to be happy and it is too negative and draining.

The rapper said she will continue to post on her accounts sporadically and sign "IA" when she does.
My management will tweet/run my accounts from today onwards with updates etc unless any message is signed -IA. Love you all. Peace out!
