Iggy Azalea says she's not getting any help from ex-Playboi Carti when it comes to raising her 4-year-old son Onyx.
The 34-year-old rapper discussed how being a single mother has changed her life during an appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's dinner is on me podcast on Tuesday.
“I'm very much a single mom,” she said. “I'm pretty much the only parent. No disrespect, but I'm not really a parent and that's just the reality.”
She added: “It's one, it's 24/7.”
Although Carti is supposedly not in the picture, Azalea said she has been working with a life coach since welcoming her son in June 2020.
“That was my No. 1 place that changed my life,” she said, noting that she turns to the woman for everything from education to business pursuits.
Representatives for Carti did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
Elsewhere in the episode, the “Fancy” rapper explained why she left the music industry to focus on other creative ventures — like cryptocurrency — to give her son a more stable life.
“I don't want to travel everywhere anymore. I want to take my son to school. I want her to have memories with me and give her that time,” she explained. “It is very important for me.”
Although Onyx toured with his mother for two years, Azalea ultimately decided that her time in the music industry had to “come to an end.”
Azalea noted that she owes her “success” to her mother and wants to have the same lasting impact on her son.
“He spent so much time with me and made me think I was a brilliant superwoman, an amazing dancer, an amazing painter, a chef, whatever,” she told Tyler Ferguson.
“And it's important to me, even when my son is only 4 years old, to know that I'm there, instilling that confidence in him and just helping to guide him,” she continued.
“It's my job as a parent. I think if you're going to have a baby you should be prepared to do that and commit to that.”
This isn't the first time Azalea has suggested the 28-year-old 'Sky' rapper plays little or no role in their son's life.
In December 2023, the Aussie singer hinted at her ex-absentee father after a fan posted a compilation video of Carti spending time with the little one.
“It's great how you can fit the heck out of every visit into one video. Talented!” she wildly commented under the since-deleted video.
The exes started dating in 2018 and broke up months after welcoming their son due to alleged infidelity on the part of the “New Tank” rapper.
Azalea has not been in a public relationship since their split. However, she was briefly linked to Tory Lanez in 2022. The pair never confirmed the nature of their relationship.
