Rapper Iggy Azalea and her boyfriend Playboi Carti quietly welcomed a son and announced the birth on Wednesday.

In an Instagram message, the at-times controversial rapper explained why she kept her pregnancy and the birth quiet on social media.

On Wednesday afternoon, the 'Work' rapper wrote, "I have a son. I kept waiting for the right time to say something but it feels like the more time passes the more I realize I’m always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world."

Azalea, 30, continued to share the news with her more than 13 million followers, writing, "I want to keep his life private, but wanted to make it clear he is not a secret & I love him beyond words.”

While rumors circulated that the Australian-born performer was expecting, she didn't confirm the news until now. The couple has yet to confirm rumors that they're also engaged.

She has not posted a picture of her son and her last Instagram post was a picture of her with red hair in front of a rose heart.

The 'Fancy' singer has been dating Playboi Carti, 23, since 2018. He previously dated Blac Chyna in 2017.

Playboi Carti and Azalea live together in Atlanta, where they relocated from Los Angeles.
