I Burned Everything, Darling
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea and former NBA player Nick Young’s tumultuous breakup made headlines in June 2016, when cheating allegations surfaced. Their two-and-a-half-year relationship ended after Young’s infidelity was confirmed through a leaked video.
A Public Breakup and Revenge
Young, known as “Swaggy P,” had initially caught Azalea’s attention on Twitter. However, the couple’s relationship took a dark turn when D’Angelo Russell, Young’s ex-teammate, leaked footage of him admitting to cheating. Despite brushing off the accusations at first, Azalea ultimately discovered security footage showing Young with other women in their home while she was away.
This betrayal led Azalea to end their relationship, citing broken trust in a heartfelt Instagram post. She announced her departure from the home they shared, marking the emotional end of their love story.
The Infamous Clothes Burning
In a dramatic act of revenge, Azalea burned Young’s expensive clothes. She reflected on this moment during her appearance on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” in 2018. The rapper recalled, “I burned it all, darling. I burned a lot and I threw stuff in the pool, too.” Her fiery cleanup included various designer items that Young cherished.
- Azalea informed Young through text about her actions, insulting him further.
- She wanted him to feel the pain of the situation he had caused.
- The message included: “I’m burning your things…so I hope you get home quickly because I’m moving on.”
Life After Nick Young
Since their breakup, Azalea has moved on with her life, embarking on new relationships and focusing on her career. She dated rapper Playboi Carti from 2018 to 2020 and shares a son named Onyx with him. In 2022, she was briefly linked to NBA player Malik Monk. Currently, Azalea is rumored to be seeing streamer N3on, although she has publicly denied these claims, emphasizing her focus on motherhood and her professional endeavors.
Azalea humorously addressed the rumors saying, “Everyone sends me DMs, like ‘Why do you love N3on?’ I’m like, ‘He’s my literal friend, you freak.’”
Nick Young’s New Chapter
On the other hand, Nick Young appears to have settled down with his high school sweetheart, Keonna Green. The couple shares three children and seems to have built a stable family life, a significant contrast to the chaotic end of his relationship with Azalea.
