Iggy Azalea fans call Playboi Carti a ‘deadbeat dad’ after grim update about his relationship with his son
Iggy Azalea’s fans condemned the alleged actions of her child’s father, Playboi Carti, on social media after the Fancy artist said in a Twitch stream that neither she nor her four-year-old son Onyx had seen him in six months.
“I love Carti, but she’s a quiet deadbeat dad…” said one fan, while another suggested you can co-parent “without having to talk to your child’s mother.”
The Sydney, Australia-born music artist, 34, sat next to streamer Amouranth, 31, on Tuesday and said: “Someone tell Playboi Carti to stop.”
The four-time Grammy nominee then clarified the half-year absence of Playboi Carti, 29, in her life and the life of their son.
‘I do not speak to him, my dear. We haven’t heard from that guy in over six months,” said Azalea, whose real name is Amethyst Kelly.
Azalea – who has collaborated with artists including Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Ariana Grande – made it clear that neither she nor her son struggled with the absence of the rapper, whose full name is Jordan Terrell Carter.

“We don’t know where he is,” Azalea said of Playboy Carti, whom she started dating in 2018 and welcomed Onyx two years later. ‘Have no idea, have no association.
“You have to tell someone that that says something about wherever they are – we don’t know and we don’t care.”
A number of fans expressed critical words for Playboy Carti in response to Azalea’s comments.
“I don’t understand how you can abandon your child and be okay with it,” said one fan.
Another said it was sad that the child “hadn’t heard from his father in six months.”
One Fan Suggested Playboy Carti ‘Can’t Be True’ [a] real man’ as he neglects to spend time with his son, while another praised Azalea, saying: ‘At least Onyx has a mother.’
While Azalea didn’t elaborate on her financial arrangement with Playboy Carti for their son’s care, one fan said it’s “crazy how you can be a millionaire and a shitty dad at the same time.”
Azalea has had financial success in ventures outside of her music career, with lucrative endeavors in OnlyFans and cryptocurrency. Last June, she launched a memecoin called Mother Iggy ($MOTHER).

Some fans defended Playboy Carti during the scandal
Some fans defended Playboy Carti, saying he was too young to remember, and that Playboy Carti was focused on creating new material.
‘He locked himself up [100 percent] Bro ignores his family and fans, this album will be generational,” said one fan.
Another noted that Onyx is “only four years old” and “won’t remember.”
Azalea, who appeared on the Dinner’s on Me podcast with Jesse Tyler Ferguson last summer, revealed that she was “a single mom” in her parenting situation.
“I’m pretty much the only parent,” she said. “No disrespect, but I’m not actually co-parenting – that’s just the reality – it’s 24/7.”
