Did Kai Cenat’s ex-girlfriend, Gabrielle Gigi Alayah, cheat with NBA Youngboy?

A series of bold fan allegations were made following the breakup news, with fans linking Gigi with rapper NBA Youngboy.

However, whilst dramatic, they don’t seem to be backed up with evidence and appear to be fabricated.Gigi herself spoke on the matter, sharing a post with her 500k Instagram followers.

She wrote: “I left, now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative about me off a FAKE twitter post is insane.

She continued: “I’ve never cheated on him, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man…play that sympathetic role somewhere else, pls.”

A viral video resurfaced of Kai crying on his Snapchat story, where he says, “I just found out something else bro, there’s somebody else in the picture.”

However, this video is from 2024 and is supposedly about another woman he was romantically interested in at the time.

So, whilst the claims of Gigi cheating with NBA Youngboy are attention-grabbing, there seems to be no truth to the rumour, with the influencer herself coming out to address it.

It is anticipated that Kai will share more details gradually via his stream; though, this is not guaranteed.
