Bella Poarch has addressed rumors claiming she cheated on her ex-husband with Tyga, claiming she received death threats over the drama in a TikTok video.
In the video, Poarch revealed that she’s been receiving death threats for “over a year” due to a rumor circulating throughout her fanbase that she purportedly cheated on her now ex-husband with American rapper Tyga.
“I never made a sex tape or cheated on him with Tyga,” she said. “I’ve only met Tyga once, and that was to film a TikTok, and that was something my team had set up.”
The ‘Crush’ singer went on to reveal that she and her ex-hubby are still close despite their divorce, saying he’s “literally been there for me through my darkest moments and has continued to be there for me during my worst days.”
“The truth is that we’re both different people from when we met when we were 19 in the Navy, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot of love for each other,” she continued. “And that’s the tea.”
Poarch’s matter-of-fact TikTok clip has sparked both support from fans and critical comments from trolls, many of whom are joking that “Tyga smiling while rubbing his hands right now.”

“Everything just happened so fast,” she said. “TikTok happened, and he didn’t wanna be in the spotlight. I respect that, though. It’s hard when I want to pursue music, like I wanna be an artist, I want to share music, I want to make content. But when the person you love wants something different, it’s hard.”
Ultimately, Bella’s career path and her husband’s reservations about fame didn’t mix, so the two ended up parting ways. The two still seem to be on good terms according to her latest TikTok, though — despite critics’ claims to the contrary.
