Iggy Speaks Out on Co-Parenting Challenges with Playboi Carti
Iggy Azalea has opened up about her strained relationship with her ex, Playboi Carti, revealing that she hasn’t been in contact with him for months, despite their shared responsibility for their young son, Onyx. During an appearance on Amouranth’s Twitch stream this week, Iggy was asked to tell Carti to release his long-awaited album, to which she responded bluntly: “We haven’t heard from that man in over like, six months. We don’t know where he is. Have no idea, have no association.”
The rapper’s comments come as a continuation of her difficult journey as a single mother. In 2022, Iggy revealed on the Dinner’s On Me podcast that she’s been raising Onyx on her own since their split in 2020. “I’m very much a single mother,” she said. “I’m very much the only parent. No disrespect, but I am not co-parenting right now.”
Iggy’s frustration with Carti’s absence was also evident when she criticized the 2023 mini-documentary Dear O, which depicted Carti and Onyx’s time together. Iggy sarcastically noted on social media how Carti’s limited involvement was edited to appear as if he were a hands-on father.
Despite their past relationship issues, Iggy emphasized her determination to protect her son from a toxic environment, reflecting on her upbringing and the volatile dynamic between her parents.
