Alright folks get ready for some celeb drama because things just got spicy online! This time it's a showdown between Iggy Azalea and Kanye West and it's all kicking off because of Playboi Carti and well Kanye's oldest daughter North West. Confused? Don't worry we are breaking down all the craziness for you.
It Started with a Song Request: Playboi Carti Asks North West for Vocals and Kanye Goes Ballistic
So the whole thing started pretty innocently or so you'd think. Playboi Carti apparently wanted to get young North West Kanye's daughter to feature on a song . Carti did what anyone might do in 2025 he tagged Kim Kardashian on his Instagram story and wrote "Tell my niece North send me a song." Seems harmless right? Wrong. Kanye West saw this and went off.
Kanye being Kanye took to X (formerly Twitter) for a classic all-caps rant. He was not happy. It seems like Kanye is feeling some type of way because he claims Carti blocked him from being on Carti's upcoming album "Music." So in Kanye's mind Carti asking North for a feature after supposedly snubbing him was a major no-no. He felt Carti crossed a line and was trying to play games.
In his rant Kanye even imagined what Carti might be thinking writing as if he WAS Carti saying stuff like "HEY NORTH YOUR DAD GAVE ME MY BIGGEST SONG AND CO SIGN AND I LEFT HIM OFF OF MY ALBUM BECAUSE OF HIS TWEETS OH BUT NORTH YOU MY NIECE I GOTTA USE YOUR VOCALS." Basically Kanye is accusing Carti of using his daughter to get back at him and feeling like Carti owes him something.
Iggy Azalea Steps In: "Please Leave My Child Out of This" – Rapper Responds to Kanye's Rant
Now here is where Iggy Azalea gets dragged into all this. In his social media explosion Kanye for some reason brought up Iggy and her son Onyx who she shares with Playboi Carti. He wrote "HEY IGGG AZALEA I NEED TO GET ONYX VOCALS ON MY SONG THATS MY NEPHEW OH AND IMA RAP ABOUT ONE OF YOUR BUSINESSES THE FK?". Yeah it's a lot to unpack.
Iggy Azalea understandably was not thrilled about her young son being brought into Kanye's beef with Carti. She responded directly to Kanye on X and her message was clear: "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 kept it classy but firm.
Iggy went on to explain her frustration that Onyx always seems to get pulled into these kinds of industry squabbles. She pointed out that Carti has other kids who are "less famous" but it's only her son who gets "harassed in perpetuity." She made a really good point about how this kind of online drama creates a "digital legacy" for her child that he might have to deal with later in life. All she wants is "some peace" for herself and her son and honestly who can blame her?
Kanye Doubles Down and Slut-Shames Iggy: Drama Escalates to a Whole New Level
Did Kanye listen to Iggy's polite plea to leave her son out of it? Nope. Instead he escalated things in a pretty ugly way. Kanye doubled down and made some really crude and explicit claims about Iggy Azalea's past relationships. He wrote "I INTENTIONALLY NEVER SMASHED IGGY BECAUSE OF CARTI" which is just...yikes. Then he listed a bunch of other rappers he claims Iggy has been with basically trying to slut-shame her online.
Later Kanye sort of tried to "clarify" his comments saying he was "TRYING TO SLUT SHAME IGGY" and that he was saying she "ALWAYS FKED WITH SOMEONE I KNEW." He then bizarrely added "I LIKE WHEN GIRLS HAVE HIGH BODY COUNTS." It was a really strange and unnecessary attack on Iggy and definitely not a good look.
