Kid LAROI Shuts Down Tate McRae Shading, Confirms Good Terms
Hi, I’m Quinn Parker and my caffeine levels are through the roof as we dive into today’s celeb scoop.
On July 25, Kid LAROI took to X to set the record straight, denying any involvement in an alleged online shade campaign against Tate McRae and affirming they remain on good terms.
The 21-year-old “What’s the Move?” star posted a direct message on X, writing, “So yall know I have NOTHING to do with this and I DO NOT co sign this behavior whatsoever. Working to get these removed.” Alongside that, he shared a screenshot of text exchanges with his management team, urging them to investigate the posts that insinuated disapproval of Tate.
In the screenshot, LAROI’s text to his team read, “Tate and I are on good terms and this just looks messy / whack,” which fans took as confirmation that, despite breakup chatter, the ex-pair were still cordial. The post arrived after fan speculation that the pop duo—who made their romance Instagram official in early 2024—had called it quits.
Just a month earlier, LAROI had sung Tate’s praises in an interview with Elle. He called her “the hardest working artist I’ve ever met in my entire life” and insisted that his compliments weren’t just boyfriend talk. He explained that her creative drive both motivates and attracts him, adding a sweet note to their public pairing.
Tate, 22, also opened up about their studio session for the single “I Know Love” in a February chat with Billboard. She admitted it felt “a little stressful” to write and record in front of her boyfriend but laughed about how they’d never taken each other’s vocals seriously until that moment, turning the session into a memorable experience.
This high-profile clarification isn’t the only split making headlines. Blac Chyna and musician Derrick Milano announced the end of their two-year relationship and nine-month engagement on July 3, attributing the decision to “prayer and reflection” and vowing to remain close friends.
On a similar note, Matt Roloff from Little People, Big World and fiancée Caryn Chandler called off their engagement in July. Roloff posted on Instagram that the pair “decided to part ways” after realizing it was the right step in their ongoing life journeys.
Actress Denise Richards and her husband of six years, Aaron Phypers, took legal action on July 7, filing for divorce with “irreconcilable differences” cited. Aaron also requested spousal support and confirmed their separation date as July 4.
Social media influencer Gigi Gorgeous and her spouse Nats Getty ended nearly six years of marriage this summer. Their rep revealed they remain friends despite the split, which was officially filed under irreconcilable differences.
Finally, Love is Blind star Chelsea Blackwell confirmed her breakup with boyfriend Tim Teeter on June 29, blaming mismatched priorities. Chelsea said she wanted stability and long-term vision while he preferred living moment to moment.
Okay, I need to grab another espresso before diving into more juicy deets!
