Iggy Azalea threatens to sue Papa John's after pizza delivery boy 'data breach'
'I ordered a cheese pizza but instead I got tons of calls and messages,' said 24-year-old rapper
Iggy Azalea is threatening to sue American pizza chain Papa John's after the rapper says a delivery boy gave her personal phone number to family and friends.
The 24-year-old Fancy singer, who would have been getting ready for the Grammys at the time, shared a screen grab Sunday that appears to show one of "tons" of messages she received after ordering a cheese pizza:

"Hello is this iggy azalea my brother had delivered something from Papa John's to u and he gave me the number on Friday night," reads the message, "i am ur number one fan call me back please".
Besides the message's punctuation and grammatical problems, Azalea was fuming over the violation of her privacy and tweeted her anger in a series of messages on her Twitter account, like this one.
. <a href="https://twitter.com/PapaJohns">@PapaJohns</a> was my favorite pizza but the drivers they use give out your personal phone number to their family members.

Azalea's anxiety over her privacy is understandable, especially after hackers threatened her with the release of nude photos from an alleged sex tape.
For their part, Papa John's issued a sort-of apology, tweeting a flippant response that quoted Azalea's lyrics:
"We should have known better," the message reads. "Customer and employee privacy is important to us. Please don’t #bounce us!"
But Azalea was not amused, adding: "I don't think data breach is funny. I expect you to contact me to explain how you are going to rectify your breach of my personal information in a satisfactory and professional way or a lawsuit will be filed."
While fans dug into the Twitter rant, DiGiorno's frozen pizza company saw a marketing opportunity and tweeted to Azalea "delivery, smh (the acronym for 'shaking my head.')"
