Why Did Iggy Azalea Said 'She’s No Longer Sharing Onyx Kelly Photos'?

While being a single mother to raise a newborn child was hard for her, it couldn’t get any worse when her toddler, Onyx Kelly, was trolled on the internet for his skin color.

Not being able to endure humiliation anymore, Iggy lashed out at the trolls addressing her son Onyx, saying she would no longer be posting photos of him.

Iggy took it to her Twitter to hit back at a fan who made fun of her son’s dinosaur outfit, to which she responded,

“Imagine being so miserable that you bully a one year old child for picking his own outfit. Y’all so corny and bored it’s really a damn shame.”

But it didn’t serve any good of a slam down for the supposed fans of her ex Playboi Carti as they replied saying that it was not with any “ill intent” and such.

Then again, Azalea retorted to the replies, writing,

“My child is not a sub-brand for his fathers fans to obsess over or clown on because the reality is that y’all don’t like his mom so you think it’s cute to be rude about a baby and what funny stuff he wears. Know that I will smack you in person, and so will his dad.”

The back-and-forth conversations went on for a while. “I don’t play about my baby. At ALLLLLL,” Azalea tweeted. And it eventually led to Azalea deciding to stop her post with photos of her son Onyx. “I’ve decided I won’t be posting about Onyx or sharing images online anymore,” she tweeted hours later. “Y’all not about to be out here playing with my baby on my watch, nope!”

Who Are Onyx Kelly Parents?

Onyx Kelly was born from brief romantic stints between rappers Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti. His mother, Iggy Azalea, born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, is an Australian rapper best known for her controversial songs Pu**y and Two Times, which went viral on YouTube.

The family spent time together for a short while before splitting, and Iggy moving on as a single mother to raise her only child.

In October 2020, Iggy took to her Instagram Story to send a message to her followers, writing of Playboi Carti,

“Nothing I said was intended to make it seem like my son’s father isn’t part of his life but I’ve noticed a lot of people took it that way, so I wanted to clear the air. Onyx is so loved by his dad & has always had both parents in his life from day 1.”

During the same time, before this post, Azalea announced her split from Carti. She first hinted at the breakup in a pair of the cryptic message shared on her Instagram Story, writing in one message, “You lost a real 1,” according to The Shade Room page on Instagram, and adding in another, “People take loyalty for granted & that’s why I’d rather be alone.” The message was later clarified by Iggy, saying, “What I meant last night was that I’m raising my son alone & I’m not in a relationship.”

Onyx’s parents first met in June 2018 and got engaged exactly a year and a month later. Despite the pair having been together, they have had quite a heated dispute over each other. She further clarified that Carti was absent during Onyx’s birth and refused to sign their son's birth certificate. Iggy also claimed through her social media that Carti had illicit relations with other girls during her pregnancy as well.

A few months later, a feud with Playboi Carti arose with caused a dramatic scene over the internet when Iggy called out a woman who was seemingly involved with Carti, tweeting:

“I told you bitc**s if I hear a got damn chirp… one bird whistle… a squawk – I’m on you a**. You better delete ya lil lies offline stat or I’m going in tmrw.”

She later added, “They deleted their comments. Smart.”

Iggy once revealed the fact that Carti valued his friends and other things over his family. And she also called out on him when he released his new album over Christmas but didn’t get his time for his own son Onyx.

Two days after Christmas of 2020, Iggy took to Twitter to share some good happenings for her son Onyx,

“I’ve spoken to my bd [baby daddy] and as f***ked up as this sh**’s been. It was for the best because now sh**s aired out & gonna change for the better w my son. That’s all I wanted.”

When one user urged her not to fall for the tricks and traps laid out by Carti, Iggy clarified, saying that she was “done. Forever” with her romance with Carti.

A few days back, Iggy shared an adorable photo of Onyx on his green dinosaur outfit on Instagram Story, captioning, “His outfit of choice today.” But the post became a subject for trolls and memes for her ex Playboi Carti’s fans. So she slammed back at them via Twitter and eventually decided never to share her son’s photo on social media ever again.

When Was Onyx Kelly Born? What Is His Full Name?

Onyx Kelly was born on 28 April 2020 in Australia. In July of 2020, she revealed her son’s name posting an audio recording of herself talking to the newborn on her Instagram account, captioning, “Amethyst [and] Onyx.”

Her son’s name is an homage to her birth name, Amethyst, which, like Onyx, is a type of quartz. Amethyst is a stone made up of purple and violet quartz that symbolizes peace. Onyx is a type of gemstone believed to have powerful protection and healing properties. It’s said to transform negative energy and help prevent the loss of positive energy.

Iggy first announced the birth of her son on 10 June 2020, writing,

“I kept waiting for the right time to say something but it feels like the more time passes the more I realize that I’m always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world. I want to keep his life private but wanted to make it clear he is not a secret & I love him beyond words.”

The rapper shared in October of 2020 a couple of pictures of her holding the toddler, as she simply captioned the post with an angel emoji.

In mid-June of 2021, Iggy took to Twitter, revealing she’d bought her young son a “baby Range Rover.” She added, “Mama has the autobiography and baby boy has the Evoque.”
