Social media in Pakistan and worldwide was recently abuzz with a sensational but entirely fabricated claim involving international celebrities. Rumours spread like wildfire suggesting that Gabrielle "Gigi" Alayah, the former girlfriend of popular streamer Kai Cenat, was expecting a child with rapper NBA YoungBoy. These reports have now been conclusively proven false.
The Origin of the Viral Hoax
The entire controversy stemmed from a single misleading post. A parody account on social media platform X, known as Hoops Crave, shared a false claim stating that NBA YoungBoy was anticipating another child with Alayah. This unverified post was quickly picked up and shared by countless users, gaining massive traction before anyone checked its authenticity. No evidence or credible confirmation ever existed to support the allegation.
The timing of the rumour is particularly notable. It emerged shortly after Kai Cenat himself announced his split from Gigi Alayah. On December 27, 2025, Cenat took to X to declare he was single. This announcement immediately triggered a wave of online speculation about the reasons behind their separation. In the chaotic aftermath, some social media users falsely accused Alayah of cheating on Cenat with NBA YoungBoy.
Alayah's Direct Denial and Cenat's Silence
Faced with the escalating rumours, Gigi Alayah took direct action to set the record straight. She addressed the claims head-on via her Instagram Stories, providing a clear and firm rebuttal. Alayah stated that the stories were based on a completely fabricated social media post. She explicitly denied ever cheating on Kai Cenat and emphasized that she has no connection whatsoever with NBA YoungBoy.
In her statement, Alayah revealed a key detail about the breakup, clarifying that she was the one who chose to end the relationship. She also expressed frustration at the false narrative, indirectly accusing Cenat of allowing the misleading story to spread online without correction. Representatives for Alayah, Cenat, and NBA YoungBoy have not provided any additional comments beyond Alayah's personal denial.
The Facts About NBA YoungBoy's Family
The rumour gained an extra layer of sensationalism by incorrectly inflating NBA YoungBoy's known number of children. The rapper, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, is reported to have at least 12 children as of late 2025. He and his wife, Jazlyn Mychelle, are expecting their third child together. This upcoming arrival would bring his total number of children to 13, not 14 as wrongly suggested in the fake news.
This confirmed pregnancy was indirectly referenced by the artist himself in his song "If You Need Me." The false story about Alayah attempted to latch onto this real-life event, creating a confusing blend of fact and fiction for social media users.
Lessons in Digital Literacy and Verification
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the speed at which misinformation can travel online. According to a report by Indiatimes, which helped debunk the claim, the story originated solely from a parody account with no basis in reality. Other unverified theories that circulated alongside the main rumour included:
- Suggestions the breakup was linked to a gift of a luxury vehicle.
- Claims of family-related disputes being the cause.
None of these additional allegations were supported by any evidence. The episode underscores the critical importance of verifying information from multiple reliable sources before believing or sharing it online, a lesson relevant for social media users everywhere, including in Pakistan.
