DJ Akademiks recently claimed that Iggy Azalea DM'ed him on Instagram with "very criminal" accusations about Playboi Carti, the father of her son, Onyx. Carti and Azalea started dating in 2018, breaking up a few months after their son was born in 2020. During his most recent Rumble livestream on September 15, 2025, DJ Akademiks showed his audience a string of text messages he allegedly received from Iggy Azalea on Instagram. He claimed that the Australian rapper had leveled serious allegations against her son's father, saying:"I want to stay out of y'all's familial matters, and I also kind of realized that the things you told me in this message before you blocked me was probably...You were trying to use me to get this man canceled. Because you told me very criminal things about him, you told me very evil things about him. You made allegations about him that I've never heard you say online."While the media personality did not repeat what Iggy Azalea mentioned in her messages, he described her accusations as "disgusting." Akademiks continued that Azalea should've taken her allegations to the police instead of reaching out to him, adding that while he liked Playboi Carti as an artist and loved him as a person, their familial matters were not his concern.Akademiks adviced Iggy Azalea not to approach him with her "misguided hate" for Playboi Carti, adding that he didn't care. He emphasized that both she and Carti picked each other to be parents to their son, adding that he didn't want to "be involved" in their problems."You said one thing to me, 'I want you to know what type of guy he is.' It doesn't matter to me. I like music. I don't give a f**k, I support n***as who supposedly killed n***as. I like music. I'm not here to support their character. You had a child with this man. And if you want me to come in between whatever familial issue you got, you got the wrong thing coming. This ain't my business," he continued.Akademiks alleged that Azalea was disrespectful in her messages to him, claiming that it looked like she was trying to use the media personality to get at the rapper. Furthermore, he claimed that Azalea called him a "lazy motherf**ker" and questioned why he didn't publicly reveal her accusations to his audience. He also claimed that Azalea tried to turn him against Playboi Carti by accusing the rapper of belittling the media personality behind his back.Iggy Azalea has not responded to Akademiks' claims at the time of writing this article.Iggy Azalea had previously claimed she was not co-parenting her son with Playboi CartiIggy Azalea, who shares son Onyx with Playboi Carti, had previously described herself as a "single mother," implying that she and the rapper were not co-parents.
