Iggy Azalea, the chart-topping rapper and music artist, has a romantic history as engaging as her hit singles.
Over the years, the Australian native has made headlines for the most insane reasons. From wardrobe malfunctions to race controversies it almost seems like she is at the center of every buzz.
And a question that never stops popping up is — Who is Iggy Azalea dating?
In this piece, we go on an exciting journey through the glamorous personal life of this international superstar.
Who Is Iggy Azalea Dating?
Amethyst Amelia Kelly, popularly known by her stage name “Iggy Azalea,” is currently single. After having a pretty crazy relationship history, the 33-year-old appears to be taking a break.
In September 2021, Iggy blasted men controlling their partners, deeming them “pitiful creatures” on Twitter.
One of her followers reacted to her original post with “men are trash,” to which the “Fancy” crooner replied: “It’s true, I saw one IRL before.”
Although she mentioned no names, one could assume the criticism was directed at somebody in her private life.
In August 2021, she was reported to be involved with Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. However, Iggy quickly shut down the whispers in a series of Tweets, stating that the rumors were nothing more than “fake news.”
All in all, since her split from fellow rapper Playboi Carti in October 2021, she has not been spotted with any new partner.

Let’s do a quick rundown of Iggy’s past relationships and entanglements.

She confirmed the romance in a January 2012 interview with Vibe. Around this time, she got the title of Rocky’s breakout mixtape Live. Love. A$AP tattooed on her fingers.
Six months later, Rocky stated they were no longer dating, with Azalea later removing her tattoo with the word A$AP crossed out.

Iggy Azalea and DeAndre Hopkins started dating in the summer of 2018 after the two dropped hints on Instagram.

4. Ljay Curie
Iggy Azalea and Ljay Currie were first spotted together on a yacht in Mexico in January 2017. It wasn’t long before photos of them looking chummy got the rumor mill running once again.
Ljay also posted pictures on his Instagram in which Iggy’s derrière and hands were noticeable, further igniting speculations. In the end, neither party confirmed nor denied the connection.
5. Hefe Wine
Iggy Azalea and Hefe Wine, also known as Maurice Williams, were involved in a controversial 2008 relationship/marriage.
According to records, the two dated for about a year and a half. However, their relationship became troubled after Wine claimed to have an X-rated tape featuring Azalea and sought to profit from it.
The situation was eventually settled by the court, with the union annulled and Azalea successfully blocking the release of the alleged tape.
6. Nick Young

Their relationship, however, faced a severe test in March 2016 when a video of Young discussing his infidelity surfaced online. In June the same year, Azalea confirmed through social media that she had ended the relationship due to trust issues resulting from the incident.

One year later, in June 2020, Iggy announced she had given birth to the couple’s son named Onyx Kelly, in a message shared with her Instagram followers. Sadly, they called it quits after the arrival of their child. “I’m raising my son alone and I am not in a relationship,” Iggy wrote at the time.
Iggy Azalea’s Achievements and Current Status
Iggy Azalea has earned several chart-topping hits and four Grammy nominations. Her most recent musical release is last year’s “Money Come,” which received a remix featuring Ivorian Doll and Big Boss Vette.
Unfortunately, as of January 2024, Iggy Azalea has unofficially retired from music after 10 years of performance and songwriting.
In a now-deleted tweet, she detailed the thought process that helped her decide to shift her focus away from music.
“In truth, what I’ve known for a long time is that I feel more passionately about design and creative direction than I do about songwriting… I’m sorry to let you down. But, it’s more important I don’t let myself down,” she wrote.
Although saddened by her departure, fans support her wholeheartedly and can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
