Singer Iggy Azalea has slammed restaurant company Papa John's Pizza after a delivery person employed by the pizza chain gave her phone number out to other people.

"Papa John's was my favorite pizza, but the drivers they use give out your personal phone number to their family members," Azalea wrote on her Twitter account Sunday, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

"And the supervisors at Papa John's refuse to send pictures of their employees so you can identify who it is that steals your information," she added.

Azalea said that when she asked to see a photograph of their drivers to identify the person who is responsible, they refused to do so because of drivers' privacy.

"Too bad they don't value the privacy of their customers also. #DamnShame," she further wrote.

The 24-year-old also posted a screen grab to Twitter of a text she is said to have received from the pizza delivery person's sister, who claimed to be Azalea's "number one fan". That tweet has since been deleted.

The pizza company later apologised to Azalea on its Twitter page by sharing: "We should have known better. Customer and employee privacy is important to us. Please don't bounce us."
