During an interview with a Tampa, Florida radio station last week, Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea spoke about her relationship with her basketball player fiance Nick Young. More specifically, she talked about the video that Nick’s teammate D’Angelo Russell leaked, showing the LA Laker player boasting about a romantic interlude with another woman. The rapper alluded that she wasn’t quite sure what “bro code” was (and didn’t really seem to care about it) and was surprised that the guys weren’t making videos showing off typical “guy stuff” like “taking a dump” and “running through the halls naked.”
The show’s host started to ask Iggy what kind of athlete’s wife she would be and she didn’t let him finish his descriptions of the 2 types of wife (the first being the eternally-suspicious type) before she interjected:
No, I’m not cool with it. Like, you will have half a penis. I already said ‘One more video, just one more thing, and you will lose a quarter of your meat.’ That’s why he got to slide this time. Just let me get some real evidence, and you’re gonna lose half an inch.
Ouch. Iggy did add that she as letting Nick slide…this time. Last week, Iggy went on Ellen to discuss her relationship and her new music. She told Ellen of her relationship, “We’re good. There isn’t [controversy] at home, just on the Internet.”
The singer has been on the defensive on social media, addressing the trolls who attack her for her rapping, her skin color and her plastic surgery, which she told Ellen was a “personal choice.” Last week, she took to Twitter after fans noticed she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring.
I was on my way to a photoshoot where i would need to remove it… would you leave a milli in the dressing room? https://t.co/6axUZSfsCD

Having haters is kind of part of the business, right? She’s a big girl, she can handle it. I’m not sure if her joking about taking the Lorena Bobbitt approach to keeping Nick’s little Laker in his pants is going to win her fans, but hearing her talk on the radio is at least less painful than listening to her new single.

She gonna be mad when she hears that new videotape then.
He’s not and never will be loyal to you Iggy, at this point it just depends on how long you want to wait and how much you’re going to defend the ugliness you’ll face now that all the side pieces know what the stakes are.
What?! Is there another tape already?
Yep, i saw the video and the text messages.. Get your scissors ready Igloo.
Why not just dump a cheater, like normal people do? Why multilate him? That’s not even funny to joke about.
But this got her more attention!!!!!!! It’s not like she can rely on talent…………
Right?! I’ve always cringed at “those people.” The ones that need absolute, fool proof evidence before they believe anything. And, BTW, this video is as “fool-proof” as you get, without catching someone in the act. I’m sure that’s what she wants though. She wants to see paparazzi pics.
Iggy is going to keep believing him until she catches him in bed with someone. And even then, she’ll believe him over her lying eyes.
This. Imagine if the situation were reversed and her boyfriend/fiance made similar comments about mutilating her genitals – he’d be off the team, and probably facing a restraining order or criminal charges. Funny how feminists never step up and call out women for saying things like that, only men. 🙁
To be fair, the number of women who hurt or kill men is miniscule compared to the number of men who hurt or kill women.
Those kind of threats are not okay, but of course people prioritize fighting the violence that’s already a world-wide epidemic.
Totally can’t relate to this kind of attitude in a woman. If your partner is doing something and you don’t want him to…um, that’s it. You’re either working on it together if he can’t stop on his own OR you’re not, because he doesn’t care enough to stop which tells you all you need to know about your relationship. What is this “I threaten you” thing?
I think if you want to date a pro athlete, you’re either generally okay with them stepping out in the road or you’re not, in which case he’d better be on board. I don’t get this scenario where you’re not okay and he is but he has to pretend to get in line because you’re threatening him. It’s not 1950. Just end the relationship; irreconcilable differences.
And she’s not even married to him – it’s not like some giant legal hassle to kick his butt to the curb. If he’s already running around on you, it’s not going to get better. It’s not going to magically be solved with marriage, and it’s not going to get less complicated when he does slip up again.
He’s an adult. If you feel like you need to make threats in order to keep your guy faithful – get the hell out. You’re only adding more toxicity to that relationship.
Once you let a cheater slide one time, they’ll just keep doing it and you’ll keep letting them slide with the false hope that the cheater is going to change. It never works out. Just ask Jen Garner with Ben Affleck. Cut them loose the moment it happens. No one deserves to be cheated on and no one should let someone slide for being a cheater.
This time next year we wont even be talkig about her anymore – thankfully. Her old music before mainstream fame was actually not too bad, too bad she seems like an unpleasant person. And im sorry, unless youre married to stephen curry (and who knows if he’s as christian and squeaky clean as he seems), im assuming all pro athletes cheat, have side pieces, etc. Id say shes being dumb but maybe she doesnt care? Her career will be over soon and he may be all
she has
She just has to have a chronic back and shoulder injury that prevents her from letting sh!t roll off her back, there is no Other explanation, like if I had that kind of life/money you’d have to PAY ME TO CARE when I could be out out or enjoying my money
Money can’t buy happiness.
Or good plastic surgery…or a successful music career, or a – never mind this is a long list.
She needs to go to the Meek Mill Insitute for Repetitive L’s.
Money can’t buy self-respect, apparently.
Eternal, i Assumed she was his brightest grad!
Well she’s about to get chopping because someone has come out claiming to be his side piece of the past two years.
What a disgusting remark from a disgusting person.
Yeah, she’s just really gross.
IKR? Just imagine the outrage if the roles were reversed, and a guy suggested mutilating his fiancee if she cheated on him. Disgusting either way, that kind of comment is never funny. Never. But she always sounds to me like a horrible person – in every way, so nothing she says surprises me. She reminds me of Kanye – always the victim, always someone else’s fault, the misunderstood artist. Yuck.
Ack! I never thought of a guy threatening mutilation- that would never fly. She is like a female, temper tantrum throwing Kanye only not as talented by a long shot.
He should probably get a bodyguard because not long after she did that interview another tape surfaced from another side piece, I hear.
Damn girl-learn to love yourself.
I think that’s what this is about. It makes me wonder why she is choosing to stay with him. Poor self-esteem, constantly being attacked in the media, trouble in her relationship at home. I can’t imagine how much she lives that lifestyle.
and we will keep celebrating monogamy… it only leads to suffering and violence. humans arent monogamous but have to live that lie because of peer pressure.
if you date someone in the public eye its also morally wrong to expect them to be “faithful”, you are keeping them from their fulfilment, they have chances with many very attractive people that they cant take upon because you are controlling your partners sexuality. you are depriving them of a healthy sexual appetite because of your ego and insecurity, i dont know how someone can live like that. especially because how many women here would turn down Brad Pitt in his prime even if you were married with a promise of monogamy? a threesome with both of your tall hot co stars? is that fair? all the hot guys hitting on you and you have to turn them down? no one is going to be monogamous in that position, specifically not if you are away for months and live seperate lives with your partner.
I obviously disagree with most of what you say here but even if I agreed with your stance that hot people are entitled to cheat, I would still have to ask: why get married at all?
Be like Jeter for the past twenty-something years: stay single, have your cake, and nobody gets hurt as long as you’re transparent about things.
Some people aren’t cut out for monogamy. And some people are. Would I turn down Brad Pitt in his prime for my husband’s and monogamy’s sake? Absolutely. Would you? It sounds like not. And both are fine. To each their own. An anti-monogamy approach can’t be uniformly applied any more than a pro-monogamy approach can be. The details and expectations within a relationship can only be agreed upon by those in the relationship. I do, however, take exception with your stance that monogamy is always cruel and unrealistic.
Why does it sound like you attended a convention, ordered a book, and watched three tapes about sexual prime and allowing yourself to be free from a dude with a tribal tattoo and a catchphrase?
@The Eternal Side- Eye I just died. LMAOOOOOOO
ESE, I actually fell out of my chair laughing. I hurt my tail bone but I love you still.
I’d 100% turn down Brad Pitt in his prime for my husband.
Validate it however you want. Some people ARE happy to be monogamous, and aren’t just going to jump from one piece to another. I’ve made a commitment to the man I love – and I won’t be breaking that commitment. I’m not so pathetic that I can’t stay in control of my actions. Peer pressure is not the thing keeping me with my husband. The fact that you would genuinely think that that’s the only reason people stay together is staggering – and maybe something you should take a closer look at.
Monogamy does not lead to suffering and violence. Abusive assholes lead to that.
Agreed Erinn. It’s one thing to be tempted, physically or emotionally. I think that happens more often that people are willing to admit. I think it’s pretty natural, particularly if your own relationship is struggling (grass is always greener on the other side, etc). But it’s quite another thing to actually ACT on that temptation. That’s the choice someone who wants to cheat makes. Any human can control their actions when it comes to cheating on their partner. This Nick guy will cheat on her again because he wants to and because he can get away with it.
The only thing she’s going to do if he cheats again is to let that slide as well.
Unrelated but does anyone else think that her plastic surgery makes her look a little j law-esque
She needs Nick Young more than Nick needs her. The controversy puts her in the news, in sports and showbiz sections. You know that your stock value has gone down when you are performing in a festival featuring Flo Rida, Mike Posner, newcomer Halsey, a Voice castoff and a popular Youtuber.
Whatever. If she’s that desperate to keep a serial cheater, have at it.
Half an inch?
What she should be doing is dumping his ass, because he’ll cheat again for sure. All her tough girl bravado will come to nothing…he already knows she doesn’t mean it, because she took him back after he cheated.
Honestly I think Nick is being messy because he wants to get caught and hope she dumps him so he can be Swaggy Free. Since he’s too gutless to dump her himself.
This is typical male passive aggressive behavior.
