Rapper Iggy Azalea took to her Twitter account to clear up rumors from her ex Maurice Williams, 33, and she also released info that he is facing charges for assault while clarifying the entire common law marriage issue.
According to DailyMail.co.uk, "Iggy Azalea met 33-year-old Maurice Williams, aka Hefe Wine, when she was a vulnerable 17-year-old 'fresh off the bus' from Australia." Daily Mail also reported that the star "filed suit against Williams last month, accusing him of stealing unreleased songs from her computer" and "last week Williams filed for 'divorce' from Iggy, claiming they had a common law marriage."
The Daily Mail also revealed that Williams is facing assault charges after allegedly, headbutting and attempting to strangle his girlfriend 28-year-old Annette Buitrago.Buitrago is also the mother of his three-year-old son.
Today Azalea tweeted a series of tweets on the entire situation:
Ive settled 2 old contracts privately. Both got a very fair sums & went on about their lives. Real cases are handled in court, not the press

My lawyer agreed to be served "divorce" papers but they want to hire someone to serve me in person, probably so it can be another TMZ story.

I also was told yesterday via his lawyer if i do not settle out of court they will go to the press and say i gave him an STD, whats next?

Unfortunately to file common law "divorce" all you need is three of your friends to sign a statement swearing the persons story is true.

Actually proving it in court is another story im just waiting to get infront
of a judge so it can be disproven & obtain a restraining order

Why is her truth being overlooked in favor of sensationalism? It makes me so sad & my heart goes out to Annette Buitrago.
