Iggy Azalea fans in a frenzy over ‘confusing’ baby announcement as mystery surrounds her newborn son
FANS of Iggy Azalea have been left baffled over missing details the rapper failed to include when announcing the birth of her son yesterday.
The Australian star, 30, sent fans into a frenzy yesterday when she made the shock announcement on Instagram and now has left many confused as she failed to confirm if her rumoured fiancé Playboi Carti is the father.
Iggy also left her fans wondering why she didn’t specify when exactly she was pregnant with her newborn son.
Her statement read: “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.”
Back in December 2019, rumors started to circulate that the Australian rapper was pregnant but neither she nor Playboi confirmed the rumors.
She seemingly squashed those rumors, however, when she posted a photo of herself in a red bikini.
Then DJ Akademiks recently claimed that the Fancy hitmaker gave birth at the end of April.
Fans took to Twitter yesterday to voice their confusion as Iggy had been sharing a plethora of photos of her flat stomach throughout her reported pregnancy and even one of her in a crop top weeks after welcoming her son.
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.
A third wrote: “When did Iggy have time to have a baby without us noticing. She been on the grind for a minute … congrats Party popper!!!”
“I’m not even an iggy azalea fan but like ???” a fourth posted. “She had a baby and nobody knew she was pregnant like WHAT”.
The social media reaction comes after Iggy revealed she has a son and has been hiding the news from her fans.
The rapper took to Instagram to deliver the shocking news on Wednesday following a series of rumors that started last year.
Iggy wanting to keep her son’s life private is no surprised as she recently expressed on social media her lack of wanting to share her private business.
She wrote: “The older I get, the less I feel the need to explain myself all the time and it’s a great feeling.
“If I don’t wanna… I don’t wanna. Sometimes that’s reason enough.”
Just one month ago, fans believed the 30-year-old beauty welcomed the baby – and fans went wild, including DJ Akademiks.
The DJ shared the news with his 2.5 million Instagram followers and wrote: “Congrats to Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti on the birth [of] their son this past weekend.”
He told his fans: “Talked to some ppl… allegedly this is true. Congrats to #playboicarti and #iggyazalea if it is.”
Iggy and Playboi Carti (real name Jordan Terrell Carter) first began dating back in 2018, but split briefly in December.
The talented pair live together in Atlanta.
But the baby daddy was recently in trouble after he told a cop he’d “f**k his daughter” during his arrest on gun and drug charges.
The 23-year-old was arrested in April after police officers discovered 12 bags of marijuana, three guns, xanax, codeine and oxycodone inside the vehicle.
The rapper allegedly told the cop he didn’t care about his exotic sports car cause he’d “just buy another one anyway.”
He was then arrested alongside another man, Jaylon Tucker, and they were taken to Clayton County Jail.
In January 2019, the rapper was convicted for assaulting a tour bus driver in Scotland.

According to reports, the driver had encountered an issue and couldn’t get the bus moving – and although a replacement bus came to pick him up, he allegedly punched the driver and smashed the tour bus window.
And before that, he was arrested on domestic abuse charges after he allegedly dragged his girlfriend at the time out of a Los Angeles International Airport terminal by her backpack.
The incident happened in July 2017, but he did not face any charges in court.
