Iggy Azalea has responded to Kanye West, also known as Ye, after he dragged her son into his latest outburst against Playboi Carti.
Kanye, who claims Carti blocked him from appearing on his upcoming album Music, lashed out after the rapper allegedly requested a feature from North West for her debut solo release. Carti had tagged Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, on Instagram Stories, writing: “Tell my niece North send me a song.” That message set Kanye off on a tirade, where he ranted on X and dragged Iggy’s child into the conversation, comparing the request to asking her if her son with Carti could collaborate with him.
Iggy quickly shut down the mention, making it clear she wanted no part of the drama. “Ye, I understand the point you want to make. I say this with kindness & as a mother: Please, leave my child out of this,” she wrote.
She continued, venting her frustration about how Onyx, her son with Carti, is frequently dragged into industry disputes. “At the end of the day, Jordan has other children (less famous… Does it matter?), but it seems only my son gets harassed in perpetuity about or on behalf of a man he has no relationship with. Does he read it? No. He’s a child. But it creates a digital legacy & an odd (shitty) situation for him to one day discover & endure in perpetuity from strangers online. Can I please have some peace? Can my son have some peace?”
Kanye ignored her plea and escalated the situation by making explicit claims about Iggy’s past relationships. “I INTENTIONALLY NEVER SMASHED IGGY BECAUSE OF CARTI,” he wrote, before listing other rappers he claims have slept with her. “OH AND ROCKY OH AND PUSHA OH AND TYGA OH AND FRENCH OH AND YOU GET THE PICTURE.”
Later, in a follow-up post, he appeared to contradict himself while attempting to clarify his intentions. “I WAS TRYING TO SLUT SHAME IGGY I WAS SAYING SHE ALWAYS FUCKED WITH SOMEONE I KNEW,” he said, before adding, “I LIKE WHEN GIRLS HAVE HIGH BODY COUNTS.”
The controversy stems from Kanye’s ongoing feud with Playboi Carti, who allegedly barred him from his album while attempting to feature North. “I DECIDED NORTH WONT BE DOING ANY SONGS WITH CARTI,” Kanye wrote. “HOW IT LOOK FOR ME TO GET LEFT OFF THE ALBUM AND THEN HE ASK KIM TO HAVE VOCALS FROM MY DAUGHTER.” He doubled down, adding: “I HELD MY TONGUE ABOUT [NOT] BEING ON CARTI ALBUM. HIM GOING TO MY EX TO ASK MY DAUGHTER TO BE ON A SONG 2 DAYS LATER WAS TOO FAR. NOBODY FINNA PLAY WITH ME.”
In the midst of his attack on Carti, Kanye also reignited tensions with Kendrick Lamar, whom he recently criticized for his role in Music. “I HAAAAAATED NOT LIKE US,” he posted, referencing Kendrick’s explosive collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin, which intensified his beef with Drake. Taking it further, he attempted to bait Kendrick into battle, writing: “KENDRICK PLEEEEASE COME DISS MEEEE ON BEHALF OF LUCIEN GRANGE PLEEEEEASE.”
As Kanye’s social media meltdown continues, Iggy has made it clear she wants no part in his ongoing feuds—especially when it involves her son.
