It seems as though someone else has a problem with Miley Cyrus and her twerking phase. In her cover story and photo in this month's issue of Paper magazine, 23-year-old Australian "Work" rapper/twerker Iggy Azalea had some choice words for Cyrus about her favorite dance move, and seems to think that the "Wrecking Ball" singer ripped her off.

"I've been doing that onstage for two-and-a-half years. She probably f*cking watched my videos online and decided to try it," said Azalea.

Azalea is sometimes credited with helping to popularize twerking, and her performances onstage have gotten her massive critical acclaim and buzz. She's set to open up for Beyoncé in Australia soon.

Following her statements regarding Cyrus and twerking in the magazine, Azalea took to her Twitter to complain about the inclusion of the work "twerk" on the magazine cover and then talked about how the booty shaking dance craze is officially over on Sept. 30.

"The irony of them writing 'twerk' on the cover after I said it died last week. Haha," she tweeted. "Well it's all good, they are really at paper mag nice so I guess it falls into the twerk exception category. Lol."

The "twerk is dead" statement Azalea is referring to is a series of tweets she made on Sept. 24. "Twerk is dead. Of course there are some exceptions. Big booty exceptions. But mostly dead," she wrote. "I know it when I saw a 4 step guide in a daily news paper. (That was wrong by the way) (not that it's exactly rocket science). That's how I'm feeling lately. Just my thoughts. I'm ready for something new."

Azalea isn't the first rapper to accuse Cyrus of ripping her off. In August, "Ratchets" rapper Lil Debbie claimed Cyrus jacked her style and dancers for the "We Can't Stop" music video.
