Boxer Devin Haney’s partner, Leena Sayed, has finally responded to a recent wave of controversy. An emotional phone call she had with rapper Young Thug while he was incarcerated became a hot topic online after a clip from the conversation went viral.
This viral snippet, recorded in 2022, features Sayed getting emotional as she declares her affection for Young Thug, stating, “I don’t like anyone… I want you.”
Though this call occurred before her relationship with Haney, it raised questions about her loyalty among fans, particularly since she is a mother to Haney’s child and expecting another.
To clarify the situation, Sayed took to Instagram, stating, “That video was before I met my bd [baby daddy],” emphasizing, “I would never talk to Thug or any other man.” Her intention was to address the backlash and clarify that the older call didn’t impact her current relationships.
Young Thug responds to claims of a romance
Amid his ongoing legal situations related to alleged gang activity, Young Thug also spoke about this incident. On X (previously Twitter), he clarified his stance on the matter.
“Man me and twin was talking bout some whole other serious sh*t,” he remarked, adding, “I don’t know why she spoke on loving other people or anything else cause ain’t giving no f*ck bout no h*es or n*ggas… Never have never will lol.”
His comments suggested that the context of their conversation had been misrepresented.
Leena remains out of the spotlight
In the meantime, Sayed has generally maintained a low profile within the boxing scene, making this incident one of the rare occasions she has been under public scrutiny. Meanwhile, Haney has not yet publicly commented on the matter.
On Young Thug’s side, his long-term girlfriend, singer Mariah The Scientist, continues to support him through his legal struggles.
This situation illustrates how brief moments from the past can spark intense controversies today, particularly in the age of social media and viral content.
