Iggy Azalea has moved quickly to shut down rumours she’s dating Tristan Thompson and seems entirely confused about the whole thing.
As is well documented, Tristan, 30, is currently in an on/off relationship with Khloe Kardashian, who he shares three-year-old daughter True with. It was thought they were back together after recently splitting up but Khloe, 37, denied this last week.
Only adding to Tristan’s complicated love life, rumours began circulating that the NBA star was now dating Iggy, 31.
In a string of tweets on Sunday, the Australian rapper set the record straight and wrote: ‘Very weird fake news making the rounds about me dating a man I’ve literally never met a DAY in my life…. Like…. Y’all are really that bored?!?!
‘S**t is very, very weird behavior.’
When one follower asked if she was referring to Tristan, Iggy responded: ‘Literally have never even been in the same building as that man. I do not know that person.’
Others wondered where the rumours even came from, to which Iggy revealed: ‘Some wierd [sic] middle aged women with a web cam apparently and it’s very much her own fan fiction show.’
The rapper added: ‘Making up baseless lies about people for fun is lame because I’m a real person with my own private life that gets disrupted by bull***t, so I’m actually annoyed.’
It’s believed the rumour was started by blogger Tasha K who claimed they were ‘f*****g’ without elaborating where she got her information from.
Iggy was most recently in a relationship with rapper Playboy Carti but they split around the time she gave birth to their first child, son Onyx, in April 2020.

Tristan’s dating life hit headlines once again last week when Khloe responded to speculation she had taken him back again.
A Twitter user tweeted at the star: ‘At this point @khloekardashian has no self worth. Anyway…’
Khloe shot back: ‘You’re telling me you made an assessment about my life because of a random blog? I think that says more about you than it does about me.’

Tristan also appeared to address the rumours, writing: ‘Gossipers are worse than thieves because they attempt to steal another person’s dignity, honor, credibility, and reputation which are difficult to restore.
‘So remember this: when your feet slip, you can restore your balance. When your tongue slips, you cannot recover your words. Act accordingly.’
