Iggy Azalea shares first photo of her newborn son Onyx – just hours after confirming she’s split from boyfriend Playboi Carti
Iggy Azalea has pictured her newborn son Onyx on Instagram for the first time.
The Australian rapper, 30, uploaded two photos of herself cradling the adorable infant on Sunday – just hours after confirming she had split from the child’s father, Playboi Carti.
Iggy looked glamorous in both photos, wearing dramatic makeup and stylish black outfits as she smiled gently at the camera.

Fans were understandably shocked to see Onyx pictured on Iggy’s page, given that the rapper had previously vowed to keep her son’s life private.
Just hours earlier, Iggy had confirmed that she and her boyfriend Playboi Carti had called time on their relationship.

‘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 realise I’m always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world,’ she wrote.

The video consisted of the words ‘Amethyst & Onyx’ – Amethyst being Iggy’s legal first name – against a plain black background.
A 10-second audio recording of the baby cooing accompanied the text.
