Why Iggy Azalea has entered the feud over rap’s biggest album

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has revealed that as a young artist, she endured a meeting with Kanye West in which he made a string of highly inappropriate comments about her appearance and her sex life – a claim West says is “true”.

The award-winning Sydney-born artist has disclosed details of the meeting she had when she was 22, amid a feud that has erupted between West and fellow rapper Playboi Carti over the release of Carti’s latest album, MUSIC, now topping charts across Australia, the US and Britain.

Azalea has a four-year-old child, Onyx, with Carti. The pair separated shortly after their son was born, and Azalea has raised him alone. But West last week publicly drew Onyx into his feud with Carti, after Carti reportedly proposed to work with West’s 11-year-old daughter, North.

West took to X to question, in anger, if he could collaborate with Onyx.

Azalea responded: “Ye, I understand the point you want to make. I say this with kindness & as a mother: Please, leave my child out of this.”

Then on Friday, on livestreaming platform Kick, Azalea detailed her 2012 meeting with West.

“I just met this guy five minutes ago, and I’m supposed to be in a business meeting. Super weird,” Azalea said.

Azalea said she had been in many label meetings at the time, all of which were professional, and this situation felt strange to her.

“I really looked up to Kanye so it threw me off. I didn’t know what to say, so I was like, ‘Oh, that’s interesting to think that somebody that I really look up to looks at my pictures every morning for inspiration. That’s kind of cool’,” she said.

“He was like, ‘Yeah I jack off to them’.”

Azalea said that during the meeting, West inquired about her relationship status, asking if she had a boyfriend, and she said she did.

“He was like, ‘How big is his d---?’,” Azalea recounted.

“Not kidding you. My face must have been like – the f--- – he’s like, ‘You don’t gotta tell me. You don’t gotta tell me I know it’s big’.

“He was like, ‘I know it is, you gotta let your boyfriend f--- as many girls, as many different girls as he can cause if you’ve got a big d--- then it’s his god-given right to f--- as many women’.”

West, confirming Azalea’s claims, replied to a clip of the livestream shared on X: “This is true,” The Sun reported. The comment has since been deleted.

West’s feud with Carti began earlier this month when Carti released MUSIC, featuring several big names including Kendrick Lamar. West had been involved in creating the album but was largely removed from its final version.

Recently, West dropped a new song, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine, featuring North (against the wishes of her mother, Kim Kardashian) and Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is in custody awaiting trial on racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking charges. Combs has pleaded not guilty.
