Iggy Azalea Confirms She Has Given Birth To A Baby Boy

Iggy Azalea has confirmed that she and her partner Playboi Carti have a son.

The singer took to social media to share the news with her fans, telling them she gave birth in secret.

Writing on Instagram, the 30-year-old said she wanted her son's life to remain private and so didn't go public about the pregnancy until after he was born.

The Australian rapper said: "I have a son. I kept waiting for the right time to say something but it feels like the more time passes the more I realize I'm always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world."

Adding: "I want to keep his life private but wanted to make it clear he is not a secret and I love him beyond words."

The singer revealed she had given birth to a baby boy.

In December last year, reports circulated in the US that the singer was, in fact, six months pregnant, but at the time sources close to the singer would not reveal anything else.

Some have criticised Azalea's relationship with her 23-year-old partner, pointing out the six-year age gap.

However, it's something she is not ashamed of.

Responding to questions about it, she said: "Is that unusual to you? Because almost everyone I know isn't the exact age as the person they date.

"You all act like he's some little kid that just left school or I'm some old a** woman. We are both in our twenties, get off my nuts."

Today's announcement is surely the singer's most exciting news since she revealed she had paid over the odds for a grilled cheese sandwich while staying at a hotel in Las Vegas.

Taking to Twitter last summer, Azalea regaled us with her tale of the boogie sarnie, for which she was charged $54 (£44).

Now, by anyone's standards, that's a bit steep.

And to make matters worse, she was charged an additional $10.08 (£8) for the use of a knife and fork. Though this begs the question, what kind of psychopath uses a knife and fork to eat a cheese sandwich?
