Did Iggy Azalea sabotage the "Pretty Girls" music video?

And not only is "Pretty Girls" the best pop video of 2015 so far, it's also the best pop song of 2015 so far. That's just the way it is. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but question a glaring fact about the "Pretty Girls" video: Iggy Azalea had a hand in directing it. Before I realized this, I noticed that Britney Spears had no long shots in the video, not to mention very few solo shots. And we didn't even get to see her car wash choreography, which Britney Spears described as "one of my favorite dance scenes ever." But, not-so-coincidentally, when it's time for Iggy Azalea's rap, she gets one nice, smooth, continuous shot. Furthermore, Iggy Azalea insists on being in pretty much every single frame with Britney Spears. Britney Spears has one rare solo dance break, and immediately after it's over, take a guess as to who runs into frame.
This is a Britney Spears music video for a Britney Spears song. Not a joint video or a joint song, regardless of the "&" in the artist title. And it strongly feels as if Iggy Azalea sabotaged the "Pretty Girls" music video by inserting herself way too much into the video, in addition to the questionable editing. What are your thoughts?
Why would Iggy sabotage her own video with Britney?
That's the issue. It's not Iggy Azalea's video. It's Britney Spears' video. The sabotage in question is the fact that, as one of the director's of the video, Azalea inserted herself way too much into the video, sabotaging Britney Spears.
Yes Iggy azalea sabotaged Britney she's in the song but she doesn't care if it flops as long as she sabotages Britney Spears. She planned it all along.
I don't think it's sabotage but it's a biT coincidental that the whole video revolves around her and Iggy has placed herself on screen at every possible moment, even when she's not really doing anything.
Whether there is an "&" in the artist title or not, doesn't take away from the fact that "Pretty Girls" is Britney Spears' song and that the "Pretty Girls" video is Britney Spears' video. As I've already mentioned, Iggy Azalea is only audibly noticeable for 10% of the record. Let's not argue with facts and common sense. The general public aren't listening to Britney Spears sing 90% of "Pretty Girls" on the radio and thinking, "This is a joint record." Just saying. In any case, I think it's pretty clear that Iggy Azalea inserted herself into the video way too much.
Stop blaming Iggy for everything, Britney makes awful decisions too; Britney Jean for example.
