When Miley Cyrus suddenly deleted her Twitter account last week, she left millions of fans wondering why. Cyrus still hasn’t returned to Twitter, despite a massive #mileycomeback campaign from fans. Instead, the Disney star has taken to YouTube to explain her actions.

Miley Cyrus shocked fans last week when her Twitter account suddenly vanished. Shortly before the account was deleted, Cyrus posted a final message saying rumored boyfriend Liam Hemsworth “doesn’t have a twttr & he wants ME 2 delete mine w/ gd reason.” Then, abrupt silence as @MileyCyrus vanished from Twitter.

Even Miley Cyrus dad was upset by the news, along with her near 2 million followers. Posting to his own Twitter feed, Billy Ray Cyrus begged his daughter to reconsider deleting her Twitter account. “Miley. You are a light in a world of darkness. You were born ‘Destiny Hope Cyrus’ for a reason. You can’t leave everyone now. We r countin on u.”

Days after the Twitter deletion, Miley Cyrus finally took to YouTube to explain why she has dumped the social networking service. Check out the Disney star’s response to the Twitter controversy in the Miley Cyrus YouTube rap video below:

We personally think it is a bit rude to suddenly dump 2 million fans on Twitter. After all, fame is the price of celebrity and those fans pay the bills. But, on the other hand, we can understand a girl wanting a bit of privacy. What we don’t get though is why Miley Cyrus couldn’t have just said “hey, I’m not going to Tweet about my private life anymore” and just kept the Twitter feed alive for official announcements about her work. Seems a bit of overkill really.
