Recent information suggests that Iggy Azalea may be only three months away from becoming a mother for the first time, as it widely believed that she is expecting a baby from rapper Playboi Carti.
For the time being, the supposed parents-to-be have chosen to remain secretive about their private matters and have not confirmed the pregnancy themselves. Iggy Azalea Is Pregnant, And Some Critics Are Not Happy She Is Having A Baby With Playboi Carti For This Messy Reason.
Allegedly, the news of the upcoming child started appearing from a source that is close to the couple recently.
The romance between Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti began after the two of them met in 2018, and shortly afterward, they started living together in Atlanta.
At some point later, fans of the two celebrities even believed they had decided to move their relationship to the next level and got married because the Australian rapper was seen with a diamond ring on her hand when she participated in the “The X Change Rate.”
Back then, the hip-hop star was asked if she was without a partner for the time being, and she answered by showing off her ring and saying, “No, I’m not; I’m not.”
Carti has also commented on his relationship with Iggy in the past as he once said about their first meeting that once he started talking to her, he just cut off everybody else.
Besides expecting her first child, Azalea has been active in her professional life during the year. In July, the famous rapper released her second studio album In My Defense, and in December, the star’s fifth extended play Wicked Lips was officially out.
One fan of the couple said this: “Omg they’re baby going to be so cute. The least problematic celeb couple๐๐ญ๐This explains WLR being postponed.”
Another supporter revealed: “Yeeeees all the babies๐๐ฝ congratulations!! Nicki M is next for sho ❤️๐Well, who wants to get pregnant also. Raise those hands ๐๐๐ well, congrats.”
A critic blasted the femcee: “He really gave this culture vulture a black baby.”
This Instagrammer defended the diva’s choice to be in interracial romance and have a biracial baby: “Why u stressing bout someone else’s child live ya life stop letting people’s skin change how u live your daily life till they give u n issue n dats all.”
Azalea is living her best life, critics are not getting to her, at least publicly.

A New Twitch Scam Scheme Rising Targeting Shroud And Other Popular Streamers' Viewers
Just a little over a month after Shroud left Twitch for Mixer, an impersonating channel appears on top of Twitch CS: GO section. On the stream is an old VOD with a banner for a chance to win up to $10,000 in giveaways. This trickery is not limited to Shroud. Anomaly and S1mple’s channels are also victims.
The scheme starts with someone making an account close to these personalities’ real streaming names such as “Shroudleo” and “Anomalyuzp.” The scammers would then copy everything they can, such as their avatar and profile page. A New Twitch Scam Scheme Rising Targeting Shroud And Other Popular Streamers' Viewers.
They would play an old VOD taken from the real streamers. An overlay command for the giveaway is posted on the stream such as “!skins” or to check the description, which will put in a phishing website in chat. These fake channels are also full of bots claiming they’ve received the giveaway. These scams aim at reselling skins for the popular FPS game.
At the end of last month, Oleksandr “S1mple” Kostyliev was banned from Twitch for the second time in three months for using a Russian slur. Even though he can’t stream while this is happening, he expressed his concerns over this matter on Twitter, saying, “Isn’t it your responsibility to protect your own people?” The Natus Vincere player also voiced that he no longer want to be partnered with the streaming platform.
Jared “Anomaly” Simmons on Twitter mentions both Twitch and Twitch Support Twitter accounts saying, “…ban this scammer for using my username and VOD in order to scam people and steal their money. This is not okay.” Unfortunately, it is rather easy to rinse and repeat this process as a new “Anomaly” account popped up just an hour after Twitch banned the first account.
Now being a full-time Mixer streamer, Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek had no idea his name is still being used on Twitch until a viewer brought it to his attention. Shroud exclaims in disbelief that someone is pretending to be him and selling skins. “What? How do they have so many viewers? …It’s gotta be banned by now. No way.” pointing out to the fact these fake streams can garner as much as 5,000 viewers.
After some thought, Shroud decided that it’s not his mess to clean up. He also added that he doubts someone falls for a stream that’s not his name. He continued that even if someone did, “we’ve all been scammed before… Takes a couple of scams to get learned.”
Over at Twitter, a fan of Shroud showed his worry over the whole situation. “I found out that the whole ‘10,000$’ giveaway was all fake. There were bots in your chat spamming the same message over and over again; the site was fake asf because you couldn’t do anything. I thought you were better.”
Just in the past four days, there were at least three fake Shroud accounts and two of Anomaly. One of these Shrouds magnetized over 4,000 concurrent viewers, and Anomaly’s has at least 5,000.
Twitch is yet to release an official statement regarding this issue.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command Is A New RTS That Pits You Against The Bugs
With as action-heavy as it is, it’s a wonder that Starship Troopers hasn’t become a bigger video game property. Gamers love space, marines, guns, and aliens, and there really isn’t much more to it than that. The franchise has seen a handful of game adaptations, but none of them found significant success. Maybe that’s about to change. Starship Troopers: Terran Command Is A New RTS That Pits You Against The Bugs.
Starship Troopers: Terran Command is an upcoming real-time strategy game from The Aristocrats, the developers behind another RTS, the Order of Battle. We don’t have a solid release date outside of some time in 2020, but the game’s Steam page gives us a handful of details to tide us over.
In Terran Command, you’ll fight the bugs over control of an entire planet. As the leader of the mobile command, you’ll actually have some say over how strictly you follow the orders of your superiors. What orders you choose to carry out or rebel against will determine what sort of units and abilities you can unlock.
The game features what they’re calling “True Line of Sight” and “True Line of Fire,” meaning that if your units on the ground can’t see it, you can’t see it. This means that bugs could be lying in wait around every corner. Generally, in RTS games, once the fog of war has been cleared, it stays clear. This certainly adds an element of suspense that could be unique to Terran Command.
It also demands a certain strategy. If your units can’t see a target, they certainly can’t shoot the target, so this requires you to take the high ground whenever possible to maximize visibility. Taking a position at choke points and waiting for the enemy to come to you could also prove to be an effective strategy.
Another feature that could have potential are dynamically generated campaigns. It sounds as if the story might remain the same for multiple playthroughs (with the exception of the choices the player makes), but the actual layout of the missions might be procedurally generated. It’s a clever idea that adds extra reasons to replay missions.
Robert A. Heinlein’s original story was first published in two parts in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction as Starship Soldier, before being published in book form as Starship Troopers in 1959. An anime was released in 1988, but it was 1997’s film adaptation that really kickstarted the franchise, which brings us to where we are now. Here’s to hoping Terran Command finds an audience in the Earth Defense Force/Starcraft crowd.
Trump calls Trudeau 'two-faced' after video surfaces of world leaders joking about him
President Donald Trump on Wednesday blasted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “two-faced” after video surfaced of various foreign leaders appearing to joke about their American counterpart during a private exchange at the NATO summit in London.
Sitting alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a bilateral meeting in Watford, England, Trump responded to a reporter’s question regarding Trudeau’s comments in the roughly half-minute clip, which has been widely circulated on social media.
Well, he’s two-faced,” the president said, adding that while Trudeau is “a nice guy,” he was likely upset by Trump’s demands for Canada to increase its defense spending contribution as part of the western military alliance. Donald Trump Calls Justin Trudeau ‘Two-Faced’ After He And Other World Leaders Seem To Laugh At Him In Viral Video.
The president’s remarks, as well as a subsequent statement that he would cancel a planned news conference, came after the release of footage showing Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte apparently dishing on Trump during a reception at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening.
Princess Anne of the United Kingdom — who was featured in another viral video Tuesday in which Queen Elizabeth appeared to shoot her daughter a scolding look for not greeting Trump in a royal receiving line — was also seen partaking in the chatter.
“Is that why you were late?” Johnson is heard asking the group.
“He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top every time,” Trudeau responded.
At another moment in the conversation, Trudeau seemed to be recounting his meeting with Trump before members of the media earlier in the day: “I just watched, I watched his team’s jaws just drop to the floor.
The Canadian prime minister confirmed during a news conference Wednesday that Trump was the subject of the leaders’ banter.
“Last night, I made a reference to the fact that there was an unscheduled press conference before my meeting with President Trump, and I was happy to take part of it, but it was certainly notable,” he said. “I’ve had a number of good conversations with the president over the course of this day and yesterday.”
Trudeau also revealed that when he described the surprised reaction of White House aides, he was referring to Trump’s impromptu announcement that next year’s G-7 summit would take place at Camp David.
“Every different leader has teams who every now and then have their jaws drop at unscheduled surprises, like that video itself, for example,” Trudeau said, brushing off concerns that his small-talk may have endangered the prospect of a renegotiated NAFTA agreement or the broader U.S.-Canada relationship.
“The relationship between Canada and the Untied States is extremely strong, and I have a very good relationship with President Trump and his team,” he said.
Johnson was also pressed on his role in the video Wednesday when a reporter asked the British prime minister whether he “take[s] President Trump seriously.” Johnson dismissed the question as “complete nonsense,” and said, “I don’t know where that’s come from.”
During a trio of sessions Tuesday with Macron, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Trudeau, Trump and his fellow leaders spoke to the assembled press corps for a total of approximately two hours, with the American president dominating most of the discussion.
But minutes after publicly addressing the video Wednesday, Trump suggested he would “probably go directly back to Washington” following the conclusion of the day’s meetings, and he later confirmed on Twitter that he would not participate in a news conference scheduled for later in the afternoon.
“We won’t be doing a press conference at the close of NATO because we did so many over the past two days,” he wrote online.
Trump’s visceral reaction to the hot-mic moment was unsurprising, given his repeated pledges to restore America’s dignity on the world stage and elicit greater respect from heads of state than former President Barack Obama.
We don’t want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore. And they won’t be. They won’t be,” Trump memorably declared in June 2017, announcing the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate accord.
Still, Trump has struggled with the finer points of statecraft when attending international gatherings throughout his presidency, committing unforced violations of protocol or explicitly denigrating American allies.
After he asserted in a speech last year before the United Nations General Assembly that his administration had “accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,” world leaders audibly chuckled at Trump’s claim, prompting the president to insist a day later: “They didn’t laugh at me.”
The escalating controversy over the Buckingham Palace video represents a similar unanticipated diplomatic debacle to close out this week’s NATO summit, which already saw ample on-camera tension between Trump and other leaders with whom his relationships have grown increasingly strained.
The president engaged in a particularity aggressive back-and-forth Tuesday with Macron, whose tack toward managing the unpredictable Trump has ranged from flattery to direct confrontation. In London, he opted for the latter, going so far as imploring Trump to “be serious” with regard to the nature of the Islamic State threat in the Middle East.

“I called him out on that, and I’m sure he wasn’t happy about it, but that’s the way it is,” Trump said. “Look, I’m representing the U.S., and he should be paying more than he’s paying, and he understands that.
