On Monday night, the 30-year-old rapper used her Instagram Story to send a message to her followers, writing of Playboi Carti, "Nothing I said was intended to make it seem like my son's father isn't part of his life but I've noticed a lot of people took it that way, so I wanted to clear the air." "Onyx," whose birth Azalea confirmed in June, "is so so loved by his dad & has always had both parents in his life from day 1," she continued, concluding with a pink heart emoji. Over the weekend, Azalea announced that she had split from fellow rapper Carti, 24. She hinted at the breakup in a pair of cryptic messages shared on her Instagram Story Friday, writing in one message, "You lost a real 1," according to The Shade Room, and adding in another, "People take loyalty for granted & that's why I'd rather be alone." The "Fancy" hitmaker later clarified her messages, saying, "What I meant last night was that I'm raising my son alone & I'm not in a relationship."
