Iggy Azalea is facing backlash over her comments about her ex Playboi Carti’s assault allegations in light of her support of Tory Lanez.
The Canadian singer/rapper announced he would be working on the Australian artist’s comeback album last October. The news came just two months before he was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion and more than two years after the “Plan B” hitmaker alleged he shot her in the foot.
At the time, Iggy Azalea was criticized for working with Tory Lanez. Many fans questioned her decision to work with a man accused of physically harming another woman.
Those questions resurfaced on Tuesday (Feb. 14), after Playboi Carti’s arrest for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend. Iggy accused her ex-boyfriend and the father of her son of serial abuse.
“Imagine having a pregnant girlfriend and pretending they don’t exist,” she tweeted. “Until it comes out you like to abuse them too – & rarely visiting your actual son unless is because you’re running from whatever problems ya got going on in Atlanta & the press with your serial abuse of woman,” she wrote.
In follow-up tweets, she also added, “Been there. Done that. Warned you,” and “karmas real!”
Twitter users took issue with Iggy’s tweets, calling her out for supposedly working with the now-convicted Tory Lanez while he was awaiting trial. Some also pointed to her dating Carti after his former ex Rubi Rose accused him of shooting a gun at her during their relationship.
“You are LITERALLY working with Tory Lanez to revive your dead career,” one wrote. “You will NEVER get what Charli XCX gave you in 2014 EVER again.”
