Nick Young is trying to convince Iggy Azalea to stay with him in the wake of the Lakers star allegedly outing himself as a cheater in a video that was posted on social media.
Sources told TMZ that Young’s engagement with the Australian rapper is “hanging by a thread” and that Young is angry the video leaked. Here’s more:
We’re told by people very close to the couple that both Iggy and Nick are pissed about the D’Angelo Russell video … in which Nick apparently admits to cheating on Iggy over the summer.
Our sources say the engagement is in jeopardy — and Nick and Iggy are “not on good terms.”
Sources close to Nick tell us he’s crushed — telling people he’s madly in love with Iggy and is focusing on trying to repair their relationship.
TMZ also reports that the video was shot months ago and the belief is that it was recently leaked by a third party — not Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell. However, it sounds like Russell was the one who originally shared it on Snapchat and thought no one would see it.
In the video, Young appears to admit he cheated on Azalea with a 19-year-old woman. You can watch the clip here.
The Lakers are reportedly planning to sit Young and Russell down at some point in an attempt to smooth things over. According to TMZ, Young has contacted his lawyers to weigh his legal options, either against Russell or whomever leaked the video.
We’re not surprised to hear that Azalea is angry over the video, especially when you read what she tweeted in response. This is the second time there has been talk of Young cheating on Iggy since the two got engaged.
