Kiya K Speaks Out Amid Speculations Of Dating Lil Baby
On Sept. 26, Kiya K shared footage from her birthday celebration. The video begins with her wearing a long, flowy white gown as she glides through a beach-facing living room decorated with balloons, candles, pink roses, and petals. In the video, she walks past a giant, pink rose arch with a “Happy Birthday” LED light sign in the middle. The other corner featured huge, lit-up letters reading, “HBD Kiya.” Meanwhile, in the center of the room, there was a collection of over 10 luxury gifts, including Chanel bags, Van Cleef jewelry, and Hermes sandals.
Before turning off her comment section, Lil Baby fans were heavily present in the comment section. Some credited Lil Baby for bagging a nurse — a promise he made in the 2020 song ‘Low Down.’ In the track, he rapped about being “tired of these strippers.” Instead, he planned to hit on “nurses and doctors and dentists.” Kiya’s Instagram profile and at least one post on her feed indicate that she’s a “registered nurse.”

Jayda Cheaves Seemingly Shuts Down Rumors Of Shading Kiya K
Meanwhile, earlier this week, social media users took a minute to get a lil’ messy. An X (formerly Twitter) user @dgbri__ commented, “Lil baby done let that girl go in Jayda’s drawer at his house” on photos comparing Jayda Cheaves and Kiya K in the same outfit.
The Shade Room did some digging and found that Jayda posted herself in the blue shorts, furry white boots, long-sleeved shirt, and bone-straight bundles in May 2022. Meanwhile, Kiya shared a photo of herself in the same shirt, similar shorts, and similar white boots on March 20 of this year.
Jayda, who shares a son named Loyal with Lil Baby, has yet to publicly respond to the outfit comparisons. However, in a recent podcast episode tease, Jayda seemed to shut down speculations that she shaded Kiya by posting her designer bags after Kiya shared her birthday set-up.
In the preview, Jayda is hooked up to a lie detector test as her co-host and friend, Dess Dior, asks her two related questions. “In your new recent post about Chanel, were you being shady towards that other girl,” Dess asked. Jayda replied, “No,” and the lie detector confirmed she was being truthful.
Dess followed up with, “Did you make the post because of her set-up?” Cheaves said, “I made that post for me and me only because I now like Hermes. That my go-to brand. That’s all I’ve been buying. You see the f**king material.”

“@tricelaisabella I never followed her. She wore and supported my brand. I love all my customers,” Jayda wrote.
