It looks like T.I. isn’t on Iggy Azalea’s side anymore.

In December, Azalea got hit with a hip hop history lesson from Q-Tip, and ever since, she’s had a bit of a weird year. But back in December, she had a staunch supporter in T.I. Now, she doesn’t even have him behind her.

During an appearance on the Ebro in the Morning radio show, T.I. explained the sudden distance between them. “In her defense, she had a lot thrown at her at one time,” he said. “Any human being anywhere gon’ have a hard time adjusting…Some stuff they brought upon themselves. In some cases it kind of was just the easiest place to put some pent-up aggression.”

He went on to call Azalea’s response to Q-Tip the tipping point in their relationship. “After the Q-Tip thing,” he said. “After I kind of had smoothed it over, like okay, ‘What is really meant to be said here is…’ After it was cool, everything was cool, and then they kind of came back and undid what I had just [accomplished].I’ma be all the way real: I’m a loyal partner. If I rock with you I’m gon’ rock with you…I really do feel that they just needed a little more time to adjust, which I feel they can do. They have the talent, they have the charisma.”
