Boyfriend & Dating History

A$AP Rocky

Iggy and A$AP were linked in 2011, after meeting through record producer Chase N Cashe.

She eventually acknowledged their connection during an interview with Vibe magazine in January 2012 and went so far as to get the title of his blockbuster mixtape, Live, Love, A$AP, tattooed on her finger.

She stated that A$AP also received tattoos to reflect their connection, but they were not visible.

However, in July of 2012, A$AP announced that they had called it quits, and Iggy erased her tattoos.

Nick Young

In November 2013, she began dating professional basketball player Nick Young. In March 2014, she appeared alongside the Los Angeles Lakers in an issue of GQ.

On Nick’s 30th birthday, June 1, 2015, the couple announced their engagement and moved in together in Tarzana, California.

However, the relationship ended one year later when she disclosed she was single again following the emergence of a tape in which Nick boasted about being unfaithful to her.

French Montana

Iggy apparently had a month-long relationship with French Montana. They were “just friends” when they went on a vacation to Mexico in August 2016.

They eventually parted ways with no ill will, with French appearing unconcerned when she moved on.

Ljay Currie

In January 2017, she was spotted on a yacht with Ljay Currie, flaunting her incredible curves. They were last seen together in April of that year.

Their relationship, though, looked to be more of a fling, lasting only a few months before fizzling out.

Deandre Hopkins

Iggy had a brief romance with football wide receiver Deandre Hopkins. She confirmed they were dating in August 2018, then announced she was single one day later on Twitter.

Playboi Carti

Iggy first became involved with the American rapper Playboi Carti in late 2018, after meeting while touring Europe.

On June 12, 2019, Playboi opened up to The Fader about living with her in his birthplace of Atlanta, Georgia.

One year later, in June 2020, she announced to her Instagram fans that she had given birth to a boy with Playboi. Unfortunately, they have split for an unknown reason.

Net Worth

Iggy’s net worth is around $15 million. She makes money from her music, modeling, and social media handling.

OnlyFans

Iggy also posts her exclusive content on the adult website OnlyFans. The cost of her OnlyFans subscription is $25 per month, $71.25 per 3 months, or $135 per 6 months.

Controversies

Racism criticism

She has faced criticism and controversy in the past related to issues of cultural appropriation and race.

Blackfishing is a term used to describe a situation where individuals, particularly those not of black or African descent, alter their appearance, mannerisms, or cultural affiliations in ways that mimic or appropriate aspects of black culture.

She has been accused of appropriating black culture in her music and public persona, including her accent and style.

She has faced backlash from some who believe she has profited from a perceived imitation of black culture.

Quotes

“No one can break me down. I know my worth and its a beautiful thing.”

“There’s a difference between being yourself and being your stereotype.”

“Really good things take time to grow. Foundation is not built over night.”

“I think that music is still art, even if it’s commercialized.”

“I feel like ‘Work’ was a really good song for people to get to know me, as it’s obviously biographical. With ‘Bounce,’ I wanted to make sure people know there’s a fun side to me as well as the somber and serious one.”

“For me, visuals are as important as the music. I just love escapism and giving people something to escape to. To me, that’s what art is.”
