IGGY Azalea has given birth to a baby boy.
The rapper said she would rather keep her newborn’s life “private” and was waiting for the right time to announce the birth. Here is more about the Fancy singer.
Iggy Azalea, 32, hails from Sydney, Australia, and is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and model.
She was born Amethyst Amelia Kelly on June 7, 1990, in Sydney, Australia. Iggy Azalea is one of the few rising female MCs on the hip-hop scene.
But as a white girl from rural Australia, she’s openly admitted to being something of an outsider in the world of rap.
Azalea spent most of her childhood in Mullumbimby, New South Wales, living humbly with her father Brendan Kelly, a painter and comic artist, and her mother Tanya, a hotel cleaner.
She started rapping at the age of 14, inspired by the girl-band TLC and rapper Left Eye Lopez and even formed a group with two other girls from her neighborhood. Soon, she quit the all-female band due to a lack of other girls’ interest in the group. Having a burning desire to move to America, Iggy dropped out of high school and started to work with her mother.
In an effort to move to the States, the rapper worked and saved the money she earned by cleaning hotel rooms and holiday houses with her mother.
She moved to America at 16 to pursue a career in music and signed a recording contract with rapper T.I.’s label Grand Hustle shortly afterward.
There, she released her debut mixtape, Ignorant Art.
In 2014, she released her first studio album, The New Classic.
It topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums making her the first non-American female rapper to reach the top of the chart.
Azalea was featured on Ariana Grande’s single Problem, which peaked at number two behind her song Fancy.
She joined The Beatles as the only acts to rank at numbers one and two simultaneously with their first two Hot 100 entries.
Azalea announced the birth of a baby boy on June 10, but the actual birth date remains unknown.
The rapper wrote on Instagram stories: “I have a son.
“I kept waiting for the right time to say something but it feels like the more time passes the more I realize I’m always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world.”
She continued: “I want to keep his life private but wanted to make it clear he is not a secret and I love him beyond words.”
Her baby’s name is Onyx Carter, and he was spotted traveling with his mother and nanny in September of 2020, according to the Daily Mail.
He was seen in a stroller with an adorable little white hat.
The rapper has a new look thanks to multiple plastic surgeries.
Although she didn’t confirm if the rapper, Playboi Carti, was the father of her son, fans suspect he might be.
Iggy and Playboi Carti, real name Jordan Terrell Carter, first began dating back in 2018, but split briefly in December 2019.
Her fans took to social media to discuss her announcement, as they were left wondering when the star even had a baby bump or who the speculated father may be.
One fan penned: “When the f**k was Iggy pregnant I’m so confused?”
“Did Iggy just have a child? When was she pregnant? Is Carti a dad?” another asked.
Azalea was briefly linked to NBA star Nick Swaggy P Young in 2013 and became engaged shortly after.
In 2016, she announced that her and Young had split after a video leaked on the internet showing Young bragging about cheating on Azalea.
Iggy, whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, has yet to confirm if they have split, or if he is the father of her baby.
It is thought the couple briefly split in December 2019.
The couple live together in Buckhead, a residential area of Atlanta, with reports claiming their house was burgled in November 2019.
Iggy Azalea is an Australian rapper and musician who has a net worth of $15 million. She burst onto the media scene in 2013 when her single, “Work”, became a global hit. As of this writing, she has sold more than 50 million albums and 22 million singles worldwide.
