Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea has deleted her recent Twitter tirade against the bosses at shoe label Steve Madden.

Azalea took to social media to blast Steve Madden for unveiling "gross" promotional shots of her new shoe collection without consulting her first.

The Fancy hitmaker signed a deal to launch her own line of footwear with the company in August and gave fans a sneak peak of what they could expect in October.

The fashion range is due to hit retailers in February, but Azalea appeared to be horrified when advertising images were uploaded to a Tumblr page this week without her knowledge.

In a series of Twitter posts, which have since been deleted, Azalea accused Steve Madden officials of failing to run the ads by her before going public with them. She also insisted that the photos did not reflect the vision she had when she posed for the shoot.

"Everything in a collaboration is supposed to be mutually approved. But Steve madden did the most disgusting photo shoot ever and never Even told me about it, I'm just now seeing it as its uploaded on some random tumblr page and iam (I am) livid," Azalea wrote.

"I worked really hard on the creative direction of both the shoes and the shoot I WAS involved with and in. I really feel it's been Tainted with these God awful images that Steve madden took appon (sic) themselves to create and share without my knowledge. Gross gross gross.

"im actually so angry about this I'm shaking. I worked so hard on these damn shoes and was so excited to reveal the beautiful and fun (images)... (I've) been bamoozeled (sic) with a tumblr page where everyone wears socks and takes unintentional crotch shots on pool toys. I'm in shock," Azalea exclaimed.

Steve Madden officials are yet to respond to Azalea's Twitter rant, which stayed up on her social media account for over half an hour.
