Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti do not get along. The former couple had an acrimonious split despite sharing a child. Azalea, in particular, has been open about criticizing Carti for his lack of involvement in their son’s life. It’s this behind-the-scenes context that makes Azalea’s latest ad so intriguing. She gets a phone call in her latest ad for Unreal Mobile, and the person on the other line seems like a thinly veiled dig at Playboi Carti. The two have a lengthy conversation, in which Iggy Azalea manages to talk her odd client into switching over to her partnership brand.
There are quite a few parallels between the “client” and Playboi Carti. For one, the client is dressed very much in the rapper’s gothic style. The client also brags about drinking blood for thousands of years, a nod to vampirism which is once again Carti’s wheelhouse. The rapper literally has a song called “VAMP ANTHEM” on his 2020 album Whole Lotta Red. Iggy Azalea and the Unreal Mobile team didn’t stop at the look, though. At one point during the video, the client breaks out into an incoherent baby voice. A voice that’s pretty directly poking fun at Playboi Carti’s “baby voice” flow.
Iggy Azalea’s Ad Appears To Clown Carti’s Style

You don’t need to squint to see what Iggy Azalea is doing here. She’s using her platform and her deal with Unreal Mobile to poke fun at the father of her child. It’s not a particularly funny ad, but it definitely gets in some digs on Playboi Carti’s eccentric persona. Those who question whether Azalea would go as far as to diss Carti in an ad needn’t look further back than July. The “Fancy” rapper went on the Dinner’s on Me podcast and made it very clear that she doesn’t consider Carti a dad to their son. “I’m very much a single mother,” she told the hosts. “I’m very much the only parent. No disrespect, but yes, I am not co-parenting really, and that’s just the reality of it. It’s one, it’s 24/7.”
Iggy Azalea disses Playboi Carti every chance she gets. When a fan posted a compilation of Carti with his son, the Australian rapper threw another dig his way. “Its cool how you can fit damn near every visit into just one video,” she wrote on Twitter in December. “Talented!” Playboi Carti is famous for not giving interviews or discussing his personal life. He’s never dissed Iggy Azalea publicly. That said, it’s easy to see why Azalea is ticked off.
Arguably, the average pop culture enthusiast would construe Iggy Azalea‘s relationships as course contents of an entire college program. Considering their intersecting dynamisms, it’s actually fair to classify them as “course contents”- mainstream context or not. Her history with Hefe Wine, for one, could pass for SOC 10001. Withal, the Iggy-Hefe battles that unfolded in the 2010’s are too complex to be captured by a fictitious course code. It’s not every day you wake up to STD rumors, marital status contentions, and “justifiable” sex tapes, to say the least.
“Live, Love, A$AP” is a quote-or do we say tattoo- that definitely rings a bell! Too bad it wasn’t there for long; howbeit, break-ups are known to come with clean-ups. A$AP Rocky allegedly had a tattoo to match, but just wasn’t as “fancy” as Iggy in picking its location. Although she didn’t ink up her suspicion-arousing involvement with Michael B. Jordan, fans certainly tattooed it! Disappointinly, Jordan debunked the dating shu-shu in a 2015 interview with the Breakfast Club. Impressions were shrunken, but people did not take a dim view of the already-established romance with Nick Young…
Her relationship with Nick Young found roots in the NBA player calling her his #WomanCrushWednesday on social media. It was one notable cascade of events, so much so that the two got engaged in no time! Unfortunately, the journey to the aisle encountered residual feelings for High School sweetheart Keonna Green. News of Green’s pregnancy circulated the media. Consequently, Iggy was so upset that the relationship was not the only thing that went up in flames.
Little did fans know that another Lakers affiliate would win a spot on Iggy’s radar on February 14, 2022. That’s right- Valentine’s big reveal last year was seeing Iggy in a romantic circumstance with Malik Monk! Young played as a swingman for the Lakers while with Iggy. Similarly, Monk was a shooting guard for the team when the double date happened with Anthony Davis and Marlen.
It’s not clear who initiated the road to Giorgio Baldi, but fact remains the couples had a good time. Monk had dreamed of this date for at least four years, given his “need!” comment on Iggy’s IG post. The story-worthiest fragment of this Lakers connection is that Young, the older ex, happens to be Monk’s inspiration. This applies to the realm of basketball, and well, (what arm to print your) tattoos. To this end, a left-arm tattoo and an Iggy make a complete basketball game…
NBA’s Jimmy Butler and Iggy were coincidentally both single when sources spotted them together at a restaurant parking lot. As usual, ideas raged across socials, but Iggy quashed them, expressing sheer frustration at the public habit. Basketball was not the terminus; as she went on to explore a thing or two with Deandre Hopkins. Hopkins, in turn, was (and still is) an American football wide receiver. This romantic venture cut itself short, as Iggy declared herself “single” a day after confirming the relationship.
Nothing, however, beats a ring fight! Iggy had previously dated French Montana when LJay Currie took to IG, parading the bling French had bought her. His caption “Bitch I’m a dog, roof”, an Offset line in “Bad & Boujee”, was indeed the icing. Funny enough, what came before that line in the song was “I take your bitch right from you”. LJay Currie was making a statement, and it got French to reply with a “lol” at the tail-end. Many things are open to interpretation here, but it’s highly unlikely that the artists were “exchanging greetings”.
Entanglements and a Cot
Iggy Azalea might be one to lace business with a shot of pleasure. Her “Savior” collaboration with Quavo did not go untapped. It didn’t seem to be lucid, but he sure had a reputation for standing by her in unpleasant times. So did Tyga! – only difference was the c-o-a-c-h in Coachella. The lil ol’ Palm Springs party did not suffice, as they attended Coachella together. Let’s not forget the two also worked together in creating “Kream”. On this note, not less than two collaborations have degenerated into dalliances for the rapper.
A relationship Iggy Azalea described as “volatile” was her affaire de coeur with Playboi Carti. It got so serious that the lovers moved in together months after meeting in the course of his tour. Their relatively-long escapade produced a child; nevertheless, children had long lost the license to trap their parents together. Despite surviving inconsistencies and cheating insinuations, the rappers called it a day in 2020. This, however, did not spark a truce, as Playboi Carti did choose an album over Christmas with his son.
Irrespective of her motivations, Iggy sure knows how to change the focus of a tidbit. She made a defining Celebrity Dating Game appearance, on the occasion of which Shaughn Adamski “won her pick”. Till date, no one is sure how well they followed up on the game- or if at all they did. We do know, notwithstanding, that she and Tory Lanez formed the protracted subject of many dating guesses last year.
From dinners to parties to a cake-posting celebration of Sorry 4 What, they indisputably set themselves up for it. Sadly, this story ended with Iggy unfollowing Lanez on IG. Fans haven’t resisted the temptation to link this gesture to the Thee Stallion shooting case. Be that as it may, the bridge seems burnt, as Iggy has turned to her fascinatingly-titled OnlyFans: Hotter than Hell. It stands to be her most exceptional relationship though: she’s got the money shoaling in like self-preservative fish!
Way back in 2013, Iggy Azalea let the world know she knows how to “put in work” with one of the year’s biggest songs. Since then, she’s been steadily making money moves and becoming increasingly confident with each passing day. As of late, the mother of one has primarily been channelling her energy into her OnlyFans account, where she not only posts salacious content for paying subscribers but has also been teasing her upcoming album.
Countless people have already paid the entry fee for Azalea’s NSFW profile – some of them markedly expressing their discontent. Still, the Australian artist continues to encourage potential new subscribers by sharing thirst traps on Instagram and Twitter. We’ve seen her sporting a tiny thong and MSCHF’s Big Red Boots recently, and now, she’s sharing some content that’s perfect “for your mood board.”
On Thursday (March 2) evening, the blonde beauty shared a series of black and white photographs that reveal her full figure, clad in black lingerie. Azalea walks across an airplane runway in a sultry three-piece set and heels, maintaining some modesty under a knee-length robe. Behind her, a larger-than-life private jet waits to take her to the destination of her choice.
Since launching her OnlyFans account, The End of an Era hitmaker has been candid about how empowering the journey is. Previously, record labels and industry executives were making money off of her body, but now, Azalea holds all the power. While speaking with Emily Ratajkowski, she admitted that she would be posting thirst traps online for free anyway, so why not make some money in the process?
Unusual OnlyFans Requests

In another recent interview, this one with Bravo’s Andy Cohen, Iggy Azalea dished about some of the strangest requests she’s gotten on her website so far. “They’ll send me like six hundred dollars just to send a voice note. Like, ‘I’d never suck your disgusting little f*cking d*ck! Is that even a d*ck? I wouldn’t even let my dog lick that d*ck,’” she laughed on Watch What Happens Live last month. Read what else the rap diva had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news.
Last November, Emily Ratajkowski made a bold venture into the podcast world in wake of her tumultuous divorce. In her first episode, the mother of one discussed whether or not having sex on the first date is considered a faux pas. Since then, her content has only become more intriguing. Her first guest appearance came from Call Her Daddy creator Alex Cooper. She could obviously only be followed up by Julia Fox.
Since then we’ve also heard the model interview Ziwe, Mia Khalifa, TikTok star Drew Afualo, and Disney Channel alum Bella Thorne. For her most recent episode, Ratajkowski nabbed one of her most impressive conversations to date with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. The artist has a ton going for her lately. Of course, audiences were dying to hear more about her OnlyFans account than anything else.
On Monday (February 20), the latest episode of High Low dropped, during which the “Fancy” hitmaker explained her decision to begin selling adult content. “I’ve made a lot of people so much money off my body. I got the smallest cut off my own f*cking body,” she dished to the podcast host. “And my own work, and my own ideas.” Azalea then said she refuses to apologize for finally taking back her power.
“It’s been commodified and I wasn’t even the main f*cking benefactor of it. So, f*ck this,” she revealed of her mindset before launching her OnlyFans. Because she’s naturally the type to post salacious photos online for free anyway, the foreign star wasn’t phased by getting a bit more explicit. “I like my breasts. F*ck, sorry. And they’re fake. And they look f*cking good and I like them,” she gushed. Immediately after, she made sure to remind listeners that she was confident before and after undergoing plastic surgery.
Iggy Speaks On Tossing Out Her Toxic Ex

Elsewhere in the interview, Azalea spoke candidly about her decision to leave Playboi Carti, who she shares her only son, Onyx, with. “Something happened one day with my son’s father and me. It was just one of those moments where you’re just like, ‘I didn’t wake up thinking this is what my day would be.’ But by the end of the day, I was on a plane to Los Angeles and I never went back,” the famous blonde shared.
She also made it clear that her relationship with the rapper was a “volatile” one, and it obviously “wasn’t working for them.” Growing up, Azalea says she watched her parents endure the same situation and left because she didn’t want to put her child in the same situation. Listen to the full High Low interview below, and check back later for more pop culture news.
After years of posting twerking content online for free, Iggy Azalea has finally taken the advice of some of her fans by joining OnlyFans. The Australian recording artist shared the big news last week. It came along with a spicy video setting the tone for what’s to come.
“SURPRISE! I’m dropping a mixed media project called ‘Hotter Than Hell,’” she wrote to her 16.9M Instagram followers. “There’s photographs, visual art collabs, videos, merch & all kinds of aesthetically pleasing, hot as hell things happening this year. You can get first-look content + updates on my new OnlyFans account.”

In the accompanying visual, Azalea films herself in bed while wearing lingerie. Her flirtatious gaze meets the camera on more than one occasion. At one point, she encourages a young male viewer to chat with her while she’s live. “YOU’RE HOTTER THAN HELL,” he quickly writes back.
The days since have seen the “Fancy” hitmaker sharing more sultry snapshots on IG in hopes of directing people to her OF. From the sounds of things, the promotion is working. DJ Akademiks is claiming that the rapper made upwards of $305K on the content-selling website in just 24 hours.
While some users on the platform charge just a few dollars, Azalea is asking for $25 per month. Of course, she’s amassed no shortage of fans for various reasons throughout her career. It definitely wouldn’t be surprising to see them pay up in exchange for exclusive content.
The mother of one has neither confirmed nor denied the latest rumours herself. However, she has been sharing more teasers on IG. On Sunday (January 15), she dropped off a polaroid that sees her posing in a green string bikini.
Azalea’s curvaceous hips and chest are on full display in the photo. “I heard you were looking for me…” she wrote in the caption, earning nearly 600K likes since it was posted yesterday.
While she’s clearly making money moves on OF, that’s not the only major flex Iggy has under her belt as of late. In late 2022, she sold her portion of her music catalogue in an astounding eight-figure deal.

It goes down in the DMs. Just weeks after Lil Nas X made a TikTok using a screenshot of his Instagram DMs to put Tekashi 69 on blast after Tekashi tried to troll Nas with homophobic jokes, another artist has adopted the format to take her own thirsty messengers to task.
Apparently, ever since she broke up with Playboi Carti, Iggy Azalea‘s inbox has been flooded with direct messages from famous followers shooting their shots. However, from the screenshots she uses in her TikTok video, in which she dances in the foreground while the screenshots appear behind her, plenty of these famous followers could use some game lessons.
Among them are men who go way too graphic way too quickly, while others offer money for Iggy’s company. One takes a day’s worth of silence from the Australian rapper as license to start insulting her, and another simply obsessively repeats “I love you” over and over again. Take notes, gentlemen: These are all what not to do — not just to famous women, but to anyone online. There’s shooting your shot, then there’s lobbing the ball toward the gym from the parking lot and expecting it to fall in the hoop through the skylight. Just don’t do it.
Meanwhile, Iggy herself has been promoting a new single, “Sip It,” her second collaboration with Tyga after “Kream,” and has been on an anti-music industry campaign, claming she’s been blackballed. You can check out the new single here.
