Iggy Azalea are relatively problem free in real life, but on the Internet it's a different story.

The "Black Widow" songstress appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Friday and opens up about the ongoing drama surrounding her relationship with fiancé Nick Young. The problems began when one of Young's Los Angeles Lakers teammate, D'Angelo Russell, secretly filmed a video of Young discussing women, including a 19-year-old he met at a club. Russell denies leaking the footage, but as soon as it hit the Internet cheating rumors swirled.

Host Ellen DeGeneres asks Azalea about the "controversy" and fortunately she lets her know that everything is a-OK. "We're good. There isn't [controversy] at home just on the Internet," she says.

Now that the dust has settled, Azalea and Young "are good" and remain engaged to be married. "Iggy is not going to leave Nick. She loves him and he loves her and she has forgiven him before for flirtations," a source shared with E! News. "Ultimately, he will always love her."

She also responded to a fan on Twitter who asked how the relationship was going in the wake of the scandal. "Lol, errrrr....Nick and I are good babe," Iggy tweeted Tuesday.

The decision to postpone their wedding was made before news of the tape leaked.

Azalea has experienced her fair share of criticism on the Internet, but she isn't one to stay silent when insulted by anonymous Twitter users. DeGeneres asks her why the Australian rapper is such a target. "I think there's really weird place on the Internet where it's like, we call them trolls," she explains. "There's just a lot of people that take great joy in saying really awful things to people, so I got a lot of that."

Included in the "awful things" are comments about her rap skills, skin color and plastic surgery, but she always defends her decisions to have a nose job and breast implants. "There was nothing wrong with me. I think it's a personal choice and anybody, man or woman, they should be able to make an informed decision," she says, "and if you want to change something then that's up to you."
