Iggy and Carti parted ways a while ago, and Iggy has been raising their son ever since. Now, she’s speaking up about Carti not being around for their son.
Iggy hasn’t had many good things to say about her baby daddy, Playboi Carti, since their split years ago. As a single mother to their son, Onyx, she has had to handle parenting on her own, according to the Daily Mail.
She had the following to say about whether or not she was co-parenting with Carti. “I’m very much the only parent, no disrespect, but yes, I am not co-parenting really, and that’s just the reality of it.”

Iggy seems to have taken Carti’s absent fathering personally given her own experience being raised with support from her mother. She has even hinted at putting her own career on hold to be able to care for Onyx more effectively.
The Daily Mail reported her stating, “I owe my success in large part to my mother… And it’s important to me, even when my son’s only four, that I know I’m there, instilling that confidence in him and just helping guide him.”
Iggy Wants to Be a Good Mom
It’s clear Iggy takes her role as a mother very seriously. Unfortunately, Carti hasn’t been present for much of her son’s life. Although the reason for the couple’s split is a bit murky, it’s clear that the decision to call it quits was ultimately her own.

Hip Hop DX reported her saying exactly that and more. Her words were, “Like, right after I had my son, I left his father. Something happened one day with my son’s father and me… But by the end of the day, I was on a plane to Los Angeles and I never went back.”
Whatever happened between them left a rift. It seems to have kept Carti from coming around as often as he should.
She’s Protecting Her Son
Although Iggy has been outspoken in her disdain for Carti’s behavior, she has taken steps to shield her son from haters online. She officially stopped posting pictures of him on social media following his first birthday to give him a chance to grow up as his own person.
