Legendary Singer Reaches Out to Carti Following Iggy’s Public Remarks About Their Co-Parenting Struggles
Playboi Carti has received a message of encouragement from none other than Erykah Badu after a recent viral clip of his ex, Iggy Azalea, revealed that Carti has not been in their son’s life for over six months. The message came on January 15, when Carti shared a screenshot on his Instagram Story of a kind DM from the legendary singer that simply read, “Love u. Keep on.”
The timing of the gesture coincides with Iggy’s appearance on Amouranth’s Twitch stream, where she addressed Carti’s long-awaited album and his absence in their lives. “I don’t speak to him, my love. We haven’t heard from that man in over like, six months,” she said, further revealing that she has been raising their four-year-old son, Onyx, as a single mother since their split around the time of Onyx’s birth in 2020. Iggy has previously shared her frustrations on the Dinner’s On Me podcast, expressing that she handles all of the parenting on her own and is not co-parenting with Carti.
Though it’s unclear if the two moments are connected, Badu’s support could be a comfort to Carti amid these ongoing challenges.
