Iggy Azalea has revealed she chose to stay home on New Year's Eve due to concerns about catching COVID-19. The 31-year-old rapper, who has a 20-month-old son named Onyx with ex-boyfriend Playboi Carti, shared her decision on Twitter, writing: 'I dunnooooooo I’d rather stay at home and not get covid but good luck with nye and all that if you’re headed out.'
When a follower mentioned they were attending a party after getting tested, Iggy advised wearing a mask, noting that a negative test does not guarantee safety. 'Probably wear a mask too because that doesn’t mean one of you can’t still have it and pass it along. You have to have a negative test to go to concerts… ppl still get covid there. Just saying!' she wrote.
The Australian-born star, who has received her booster jab, expressed no regrets about her decision. 'So glad I stayed home tonight. Absolutely love knowing I’m waking up covid free tmrw,' she posted. She also voiced concern for friends who went out mask-less, calling it 'big yikeessss.'
Iggy emphasised that her son's health is her top priority. 'I really don’t want to get sick even if I’m vaccinated, my son isn’t, that’s always my motivation,' she explained.
