LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Miley Cyrus broke it down hip-hop style to explain why she deleted her Twitter account earlier this week.

In a new YouTube video, Miley – with four backing dancers — rapped, “The rumors are true, I deleted my Twitter.”

And while fans, celebs and even her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, were calling for Miley’s return to Twitter on Friday, she said she’s done with the social networking Web site for her own privacy – and not because rumored boyfriend Liam Hemsworth told her to quit, which she Tweeted on Wednesday night.

“I had to say goodbye and this little rap is to tell my fans why,” she rapped. “It wasn’t because my friend told me to.

“Everything that I type and everything that I do, all the lame gossip sites take it and they make it news,” she continued. “I want my private life private… I’m living for me.”
