The two, who for a long time were mixed up in speculation and trivia, continue to be the subjects of such rumors that this time seem to be on the rise yet again.

Such an event was a major incident that went down when Love & Hip Hop star Alexis Skyy brought the speculation into the limelight during a joint Instagram Live session with a friend.
