“I listened to your monologue trying to paint me as some obsessed jealous ex because you watch rage bait clips on social media instead of doing your job as a ‘reporter’ (watching interviews in full context before commenting).”

Azalea also reflected on her history with Carti: “At the same time – I don’t think it’s a huge secret my experience involved a man who was violent & is (still) an addict – Im sorry, but that’s my reality & it does affect my life years later of course… because there’s a child involved.”
