Iggy Azalea maintains a 'cordial' relationship with Playboi Carti
A few days after her cryptic Instagram messages, Iggy Azalea clarified she didn't mean Playboi Carti wasn't involved in Onyx's life, Billboard reported. "Nothing I said was intended to make it seem like my son's father isn't part of his life but I've noticed a lot of people took it that way, so I wanted to clear the air. Onyx is so so loved by his dad & has always had both parents in his life from day 1," she said, indicating that the two musicians were co-parenting their child.
Azalea publicly slammed Carti on December 25 for spending the holiday celebrating the release of "Whole Lotta Red" instead of with his Onyx, per Billboard. "Too bad you got an album out but can't even come to Christmas with your own son," she wrote in the now-deleted tweet.
After the rather public events surrounding the end of her two-year relationship with Carti, Azalea opted to take a more private approach in the following months. Citing a source, Hollywood Life reported in April 2021 that she is "cordial" to Carti for their son's sake. "She does her best to keep things cordial with Carti because it's about Onyx and not her. But she really doesn't talk about that situation at all. She's very guarded when it comes to that. Ever since she went off on social media about him last Christmas, she's made every effort to stay very private about it all."
