Iggy Azalea’s feud with Papa John’s seemed the only event of the Grammys likely to rival Kanye West invading Beck like it was the MTV VMAs circa 2009.

The Australian hip-hop star became incensed after one of Papa John’s drivers gave her mobile number out to his family.

Papa John's responded with a fairly light-hearted tweet:

But the company didn’t take her discontent seriously enough for her liking. And she demanded to know the identity of the driver involved:

A no doubt inundated spokesperson from the company has since confirmed to TMZ: "We are reaching out directly to Ms. Azalea and hope to resolve this incident and make it right."

The driver, they added, was disciplined for his actions.

Another Papa John’s representative also told the Hollywood Reporter: "Privacy of our customers and employees is extremely important to us.

"Papa John's has taken appropriate disciplinary action with regard to the employee involved. We are reaching out directly to Ms. Azalea and hope to resolve this incident and make it right."

Azalea was nominated for four Grammys, including Best New Artist and Record of the Year. She lost out on both categories to Sam Smith.
