Cheating

Recently, news of the couple Kehlani and Kyrie’s relationships caused a large media response. Kehlani, a young RnB singer from Oakland, and Kyrie, a point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, have a publically known relationship and it is clear from Kyrie’s Instagram posts his feelings for Kehlani and how much he loves her. Though they have very busy schedules they still find time to spend with one another and let each other know how much they appreciate one another. Though every relationships has their problems, this couple’s relationship appeared to be strong and on the rise. However after some posts from PartyNextDoor, a singer and ex-boyfriend of Kehlani, it was evident that Kyrie and Kehlani’s relationship was nearing its end. PND, PartyNextDoor, posted a picture of Kehlani in his bed and his caption read something like, ‘got her back in my bed.’ Once the picture was posted it was not much longer before media went crazy and all types of posts relating to the situation began to air. Many people, mostly men, had a lot to say about Kehlani, because “she cheated.” Many posts referenced how she makes so many songs about heartbreak and then does something like this, especially her song, FWU, where she repeatedly says “He only loves me cause I’m loyal”. She received a lot of backlash for ‘cheating’, which Kyrie said is not true, and for going back to her ex. Many people compared PartyNextDoor and Kyrie and how Kyrie makes so much more money and treats her better and is an upgrade from PND. After news of Kehlani and Kyrie’s relationship aired, Kehlani began to feel the heat and did not how to take it. She started to delete her social media accounts, such as SnapChat and Instagram. But before she deleted her accounts, she posted a picture on Instagram basically stating all the attacks she received from the media and the judgements from people around her made her attempt suicide. After the post, her situation went from bad to worse, as people began questioning her motive behind the post. Was she seeking attention? Was she trying to diverge the situation from her ‘cheating’ to her being hurt? Was she trying to get people back on her side again? Whatever the case may be, Kyrie Irving’s longtime friend, Chris Brown, had a lot to say about Kehlani. Chris Brown made posts on both his Twitter and his Instagram throwing shot at Kehlani. For example, one post on Instagram was a picture of her and Chris before Kehlani was famous and considered ‘bad.’ On twitter he pointed out the suicide attempt and voiced his opinions on how he thought it was a bad plea for attention. To me this situation is not weird at all, people cheat and go back to their ex all the time. I feel like cheating is seen as a double standard, like it’s the ultimate sign of betrayal if a woman does it but if a guy does it, it doesn’t really mean anything. So after I heard this situation it reminded myself of a clip about cheating made from Fizz, from Love & Hip Hop LA, and I want to know what you guys think of it.
