Iggy Azalea clarified her breakup with Nick Young and says she caught the Lakers guard cheating on her.
Rapper Iggy Azalea and Nick Young, AKA “Swaggy P” have ended their relationship for good. Azalea clarified the reasons why they broke up on Twitter early Thursday morning.
There were already rumors about Young cheating on his fiancee when Lakers teammate DeAngelo Russell shared a video online of Young basically admitting to having girls on the side.
And that was just the start because Azalea said she broke up with Young because she found out he was bringing other girls in their home when she was out and security footage caught him in the act.
Infidelity aside, there’s also rumors that Nick Young got his ex-girlfriend, Keonna Green, pregnant for a second time. Whether this child was a major cause in the split is unknown.
The Los Angeles Lakers are no stranger to drama, especially this season. On top of everything happening with superstar Kobe Bryant’s last season, Young’s teammate D’Angelo Russell filmed him talking about his infidelity, then posted it online for all to see. This culminated in D’Angelo Russell becoming public enemy #1 in Los Angeles. The Lakers are reportedly shopping Russell around for obvious reasons, he was a huge detriment to team chemistry and caused their locker room to become a tense, guarded place.
This culminated in Young’s worst season in terms of scoring since joining the Lakers. Young only posted 7.3 points per game, down 10 points from his career best first year with the Lakers from 2013-2014.
The Lakers are going to have to do some serious work if they want to rebuild their franchise. Now that Kobe Bryant is gone, they’ll have some serious money to throw around in free agency. However, due to the state of their locker room and the state of their team sans Kobe, it’s going to be an uphill battle to interest players in arguably the most storied franchise in the NBA.
