"I feel the hatred and pettiness i see online at all times is at making me become an angry person and I cannot be that. To become nasty because of the way I feel I am treated would be a disservice to my fans and I promise i will try to keep smiling," she said."But 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 tweeted.Her Twitter account, however, will not be deactivated and handled by her management team. "My management will tweet/run my accounts from today onwards with updates etc unless any message is signed -IA.Love you all. Peace out!" she said before adding, "The internet is the ugliest reflection of man kind there is."Check out her tweets below:
