Kai's post brought Gigi to the centre of massive public scrutiny. As several unverified claims hinted at a cheating angle, Gigi took matters into her own hands, blasting her ex for painting a "false narrative". Here's everything we know about the split and how YoungBoy's name got dragged into it.

The post went viral in no time, crossing a million views within an hour. Fans soon began circulating screenshots and unverified posts that claimed Gigi had been cheating on Kai. Things escalated when some posts alleged that she was romantically involved with NBA YoungBoy (real name Kentrell DeSean Gaulden).

Though Kai never directly named anyone in his post, nor hinted at a cheating angle, fans are convinced something messy might have happened behind the scenes, considering how happy he looked when he had introduced Gigi as his lady love months ago.

How the cheating narrative came into the spotlight

It appears that social media has once again done what it does best. Jokes, memes, and hot takes on the breakup have already flooded x timelines and Reddit threads. While some fans defended fans fiercely, others even joked that the YouTuber could no longer listen to NBA YoungBoy's music, hinting at the cheating angle. One user wrote:

“I don’t know what’s worse, not having your girl, or not being able to listen to Youngboy anymore.”

Kai's fellow AMP (Any Means Possible) member, Roberto Escanio, who goes by the name "Fanum", weighed in on the breakup on his livestream, suggesting Kai might be trolling. Fanum said:

“He’s trolling because he can. He can say whatever he wants, and he’ll joke about it. He’s trolling about that young boy thing, he’s trolling about everything."

What Gigi Alayah is saying about the breakup

Gigi, however, has a very different story to tell. After the backlash and waves of speculation, the influencer broke her silence on Instagram, firmly denying every cheating allegation and flipping the entire narrative. Taking to her IG Stories, Gigi stated that she was the one who broke off the relationship, not the other way around. Taking a fiery jab at Kai's post, she argued that the internet has been making assumptions based on a "fake" Twitter post, strongly denying any connection to NBA YoungBoy. She wrote:

"I left. Now you wanna get on the internet and rush to paint a false narrative off a FAKE Twitter post is insane. I’ve never cheated on you, and YOU know that. I have never dealt with that man… play that sympathetic role somewhere else pls.”

What was the reason for Kai Cenat and Gigi Alayah's breakup?

As of now, neither Kai nor Gigi has commented directly on the reason for their split, so there is no specific detail about why the relationship ended, except for unverified claims. With the breakup announcement, Kai seems to be now focusing on being single and emotionally drained. With Gigi's clarification, there is no confirmation from either side that infidelity played any role in the split.

What's known, however, is that Kai and Gigi's breakup comes only months after they made their relationship official. Around the streamer's birthday week, Kai revealed during a livestream that he was dating Gigi, speaking openly about how peaceful the relationship felt.

Back then, Kai had spoken fondly of his girl, expressing how, for the first time, he was feeling a "human form of purpose". He even praised the content creator for her straightforward and honest opinions when explaining the "perks" of being in a relationship. The Twitch star said:

"You have somebody to personally, whenever throughout the day, turn to about any situation there is possible. Honest thoughts, honest opinions, keeping it real 100 percent. For the first time in my life, besides my family, I felt a human form of purpose."

With the recent turn of events, Kai's fans don't know how to feel. The NBA YoungBoy rumours remain unproven, and that's all that anyone truly knows about the former couple for now.
