Australian rapper Iggy Azalea announced the birth of her and Playboi Carti's son in the early days of June this year over Instagram stories. Sharing the news of the arrival of her first-born, she 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 the news that giant with the world." She also added that she'd like to keep her son's life private but also "wanted to make it clear he is not a secret," and "I love him beyond  words." Even though Azalea is yet to confirm the name of her son, the Internet is abuzz with news that he's named Gilbert. We tell you why. 

It all started with a fan account with the username @cartiverse who shared a photo of Azalea outside with her son. The page claims to be one of Carti's fan pages sharing regular "memes and updates" about the rapper. The caption of the said photo read, "Iggy Azalea spotted for the first time with her and Playboi Carti’s newborn son, Gilbert Carter," and that is what started the rumor.

Now the photo has been up on the page for a few hours and has accumulated a sizeable number of comments, most of them pointing fun at the rappers for possibly having named their son as Gilbert. "Bro really popped out the womb and they decided to torture him for the rest of his life with gilbert," wrote a user. "Iimagine your mom’s name is iggy azalea and your dad’s name is playboi carti, but the best they could come up with for you is gilbert," said one. Another commented, "Some people shouldn’t have children specifically for reason like this." One person wrote, "If the kid's name is genuinely gilbert I’m never listening to Carti again." Another commented, "How do you look your newborn baby in the eye and name him Gilbert?" People are also wondering: "JORDAN CARTER AND IGGY AZALEA BOTH GOT 10/10 ON THEIR NAME, HOW TF IS THAT LIL HOMIE GOT GILBERT." Another social media called it straight out abuse: " Iggy azalea being your mom is bad enough, but now they’re callin him gilbert??? that’s child abuse."

Azalea and Carti -- real name Jordan Terrell Carter, started dating in 2018. In June 2019 he opened up about their relationship, revealing that they met while he was on tour.
"Once I started talking to her, I just cut off everybody," he told Fader magazine. "It was over with."
