As The Shade Room previously reported, Mackey and Ross revealed thei romance with a series of photos and videos in December.
At the time, fans reacted in shock and questioned what happened to the rapper’s speculated romance with comedian Pretty Vee. About a week later, the comedian weighed in with a humorous skit.
In the clip, Vee listened to B2K’s ‘Why’d You Leave Me On Christmas‘ as she ate WingStop, which has 30 locations owned by Ross, per AfroTech.
Most recently, Mackey addressed social media’s concern for Ross’ previous relationship with Vee during an appearance on ‘The Cali Kick Back‘ podcast.
“It doesnt make me feel any way at all,” Mackey explained. “I think its funny. Its levels to everything, right? And that was never this… Wheres the pictures of them holding hands? And them holding hands? And them on the jet together? And them in Dubai and her on the billboard? Wheres that at? Wheres the flowers? Wheres all that?”
Mackey’s statements appeared to prompt the “pick-me” labels from social media users and a response from Pretty Vee.
