Australian rapper Iggy Azalea did not take her breakup with former NBA player Nick Young<\/a> lightly. She burned his expensive clothing as payback for the cheating that he had done.<\/p>\n

The two broke up in June 2016 after Azalea confirmed her ex-fianc\u00e9’s infidelity. It ended their two-and-a-half-year relationship that started with a shoutout that Young sent to the recording star on Twitter, now X.<\/p>\n

Young’s cheating was brought to the fore after a video, where he admitted to cheating on Azalea shot by his former Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> teammate D’Angelo Russell, was leaked to the public. While she brushed it off initially, her fears were further confirmed a few months later when she found security footage of her boyfriend bringing other women into their home while she was away.<\/p>\n

It did not take long before the artist behind the hit song “Fancy” ended her relationship with Swaggy P. She took to Instagram to make the announcement, citing broken trust as a big reason and that she was moving out of the house she shared with the player.<\/p>\n

The bridge was burned between Azalea and Young<\/p>\n

Azalea admitted that what Young did hurt her a lot, and she wanted to get back at him in a way that he would feel the most. She came up with burning and destroying the clothes he so cared about.<\/p>\n

She looked back at that moment in her appearance on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens” show in 2018, sharing what went down when she burned Young’s clothes.<\/p>\n

“I burned it all, darling. I burned a lot and I threw stuff in the pool, too. I started off with water and it just seemed like that didn’t work. Every designer you could think of, I burned,”Azalea recalled<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While she was at it, she made sure that she informed Young of what was happening to rub it hard on him.<\/p>\n

“‘I’m burning your things. And so I don’t know where you’re at, probably with some girl, so I hope you get home quickly because I’m moving on. We’re progressing on the spectrum of cheap to expensive,'” Azalea remembered writing in her message.<\/p>\n

Iggy’s life after Young<\/p>\n

Azalea has since moved on from her relationship with Young, dating rapper Playboi Carti from 2018 to 2020 and sharing a son, Onyx, with him. She was also seen dating NBA player Malik Monk in 2022.<\/p>\n

She is currently being linked to streamer N3on but Azalea denied being in a romantic relationship with him, focusing on her business ventures and her son.<\/p>\n

Azalea even joked about how her connection with N3on actually destroyed her dating life.<\/p>\n

“Everyone sends me DMs, like ‘Why do you love N3on?’ I’m like, ‘He’s my literal friend, you freak.’ You (N3on) actually messed up my dating a bit. I don’t actually think you are, cuz like anyone with a brain obviously can see we’re just friends,” she said<\/a> in an Instagram reel.<\/p>\n

As for Young, he is with his high school sweetheart and true love, Keonna Green, with whom he has three children, building a stable family life. It is a far cry from his days of womanizing that marked the end of his relationship with Azalea.<\/p>\n
