Carti and Azalea's son was born in the summer but it appears that they were done then as well. The breakup was officially confirmed in October when Azalea took to her Instagram stories to say “You Lost a Real 1. People take loyalty for granted [and] that's why I'd rather be alone."
She also added that she is a single mother now and will be raising their son alone. Many questioned why Azalea had a child with Carti in the first place considering that she is 30-years-old and Carti is 24, as critics cited that she is more mature.
