Iggy Azalea’s dating history – from A$AP Rocky to Playboi Carti
THROUGHOUT the years, Iggy Azalea has been linked with big names in the rap and basketball scenes.
From casual flings to committed relationships, she has tried to keep her love life private. But who is the Fancy rapper involved with now?
Who is Iggy Azalea dating now?
In September, 2021, Iggy blasted men controlling their partners, deeming them “pitiful creatures” on Twitter.
One of her followers replied to her original post with “men are trash”, to which the 31-year-old replied: “It’s true, I saw one IRL before.”
Although she mentioned no names, one could assume the criticism was directed at somebody in her private life.
In August, 2021, she was said to be involved with Khloe Kardashian‘s baby daddy Tristan Thompson.
Iggy quickly struck back in a series of Tweets stating that the rumours were nothing more than “fake news.”
She wrote: “Very weird fake news making the rounds about me dating a man I’ve literally never met a DAY in my life.”
As of October 2021, Iggy is said to be single, one year after her split from rapper Playboi Carti.
Who has Iggy Azalea dated?
As mentioned above, Iggy – real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly – has been linked to several rap stars.
Playboi Carti
Iggy first got involved with the American rapper in late 2018 after the pair met while touring overseas.
While opening up to , on June 12, 2019, Playboi then talked about living with Iggy in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
Before confirming that their relationship was strictly personal and did not involve working on music together, he said: “Once I started talking to her, I just cut off everybody.”
One year later, in June 2020, Iggy announced she had given birth to a son named Onyx Kelly, in a message shared with her Instagram followers.
The family then strayed away from the limelight until October 24, 2020, when the young mother shared photos of her son before confirming her split with Playboi.
The rumour mill had gone wild several days prior.
She posted on her Instagram story: “You lost a real one … people take loyalty for granted and that’s why I’d rather be alone… What I meant last night was that I’m raising my son alone and I am not in a relationship.”
While she slammed Playboi for not spending the holidays with their son in December, 2020, Iggy has said that her former partner is a part of her baby’s life.
Although they remain cordial while co-parenting their child, Iggy has made it clear that they would never rekindle their relationship.
Deandre Hopkins
Before sharing her life with Playboi, Iggy had a short-lived relationship with football wide receiver Deandre.
She confirmed they were an item in August, 2018, but took to Twitter to announce she was single one day later.
LJay Currie
While Iggy has briefly been linked to American rapper Quavo, with whom she collaborated on the song Savior (also in 2018), it appears their relationship was more platonic.
Nothing compared to her story with rapper LJay Currie.
The Fancy singer was seen cosying up to the record producer on a yacht with friends, while showing off her sensational curves in January, 2017.
They were seen together again in April that same year.
However, their relationship appeared to be more of a fling, lasting just a few months before fizzling out.
French Montana
Much like her tryst with LJay, Iggy allegedly shared a fling with French Montana which lasted a few months.
The two packed on the PDA during a getaway to Mexico in August, 2016, although Iggy has insisted that they were “just friends”.
They eventually went their separate ways with no animosity with French Montana appearing to be unfazed when Iggy moved on.
Nick Young
Perhaps one of her most public relationships yet.
Iggy became involved with professional basketball player Nick in November, 2013, and seemed happier than ever.
She even appeared in an issue of GQ alongside the Los Angeles Laker in March, 2014.
On June 1, 2015 (Nick’s 30th birthday), the pair announced their engagement and moved in together in Tarzana, California.
One year later, however, the relationship came crashing down after Iggy revealed she was single again following the leak of a video in which Nick bragged about being unfaithful to her.
She told her fans on Instagram: “Unfortunately, although I love and have tried and tried to rebuild my trust in him – it’s become apparent in the last few weeks I am unable to.”
A$AP Rocky
The rap superstars were linked a decade ago, in 2011, after meeting through record producer Chase N Cashe.
Iggy eventually confirmed their relationship during an interview with Vibe magazine in January, 2012, and went a step further by getting the title of his breakout mixtape – “Live. Love. A$AP” – tattooed on her finger.
She claimed that A$AP also got tattoos to represent their relationship, although his were not visible.
She told : “I love him and that is all there is to it, we have our own thing going on.”
However, in July, 2012, A$AP stated that they had called it quits and Iggy removed her tattoos.
