Azalea dated former LA Lakers guard Nick Young in the mid-2010s. She was also present at Madison Square Garden last year to watch the New York Knicks, with a clip of her hugging and talking to star guard Jalen Brunson postgame going viral.

One of the biggest power couples in the NBA in the early 2010s was Nick Young and Iggy Azalea. Young was playing for the LA Lakers and Azalea was at the peak of her popularity. The couple began dating in 2013 and even got engaged two years later.

However, the couple broke up in June 2016 after a video of Young confessing he cheated on Azalea was leaked online. The culprit was Young's then-teammate D'Angelo Russell, who was labeled untrustworthy inside a locker room.

Speaking on a recent episode of "Gil's Arena" podcast, Young discussed the incident and revealed why he didn't fight Russell for leaking the video.

"Mitch Kupchak and them told me, ‘'Don't come to the arena. Don't come to practice. None of that. If you do anything, we gonna take your money and all that,'" Young said, according to Ahn Fire Digital. "And then when I got there, it was security there. … So, I couldn't get a chance to. And by the time, once I seen him the next season, it was, the sh*t had died down then."

The LA Lakers traded D'Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets a year after the incident, with then-director of basketball operations Magic Johnson revealing that it played a part in the decision to let him go.
