Earlier this month, singer Bebe Rexha publicly put her boyfriend of three years, Keyan Safyari, on blast over a text message he allegedly sent her discussing her weight.
In Keyan’s alleged message, which Bebe shared and then quickly deleted from her Twitter page, the 39-year-old appeared to recount being “honest” with her when she asked whether her appearance had changed from gaining weight.
“Hey. I never said you weren’t beautiful and I never said I didn’t love you. In fact I said how beautiful you are and how much I loved you,” the message read. “But I always said I would be honest with you and your face was changing so I told you it was...that was the conversation we were having and you asked.”
The text continued, “Because I care, would you rather I lied to you? You gained 35 pounds obviously you gained weight and your face changes? Should I just pretend it didn’t happen and that it’s ok?”
This specific comment sparked a mixed reaction online. While some fans argued that Keyan was seemingly out of line, others suggested that Bebe was being hypocritical, given that later on in the message, Keyan appeared to recall her calling him “chubbs” and “fat” whenever he gained weight.
Elsewhere in the lengthy text, Keyan seemingly insinuated that Bebe had broken up with him over his alleged comments. And now Bebe has confirmed that the pair have, in fact, parted ways.
During a performance in London over the weekend, Bebe purportedly referenced her breakup for the first time while introducing her song “Atmosphere” — which is about being left “all alone” by a lover.
“I just went through a breakup, so I might get a little emotional, and you need to help me,” she told the crowd.
Later on, Bebe sang her popular track “I Am,” which features the lyrics, “If I am everything, why am I not everything to you?”
In videos that can be seen circulating across social media, Bebe broke down in tears onstage after spotting fans holding up signs that read, “YOU ARE ENOUGH.”
By the end of the show, Bebe joked that she was going to be “looking for a new boyfriend” that night at popular LGBTQ+ club Heaven.
