Jhene wasn't happy with the gossip on social media...

Jhene Aiko has responded to growing rumours that she cheated on her ex-boyfriend with Big Sean. 

The R&B singer, who was recently in the UK, addressed the couple’s relationship in a recent interview and attempted to clear up any misconceptions about their romance.

During the interview, she opened up about the origins of her relationship with Big Sean, revealing that she went on a “date” with Big Sean “just as a friend” in 2012.

Interestingly, Jhene Aiko then claimed she was also dating another person who was “secretly” married at the time.

Some fans took this as an admission that she cheated on her then-boyfriend, to begin her relationship with Big Sean.

However after seeing the backlash on social media, the singer took to Twitter to respond to all the allegations. 

“I saw a negative spirited tweet about myself, with lots of retweets and likes…” she began. 

“Based on one QUOTE from a FULL interview that was about ONE MOMENT in my life in which I did nothing but go to a basketball game lol… this quote has turned into gossip because of speculation.”
