UPDATED 1/16, 9:50 p.m. ET: Just a day after word arrived that YG and Saweetie allegedly parted ways, YG is responding.

On Tuesday, the Compton rapper hopped on Instagram to post an old video of him and Saweetie during Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour.

"The only block I'm tryna spin," he captioned a clip that features the couple cozying up together as Bey performed "Drunk in Love."

A tweet in September indicated that Saweetie was spotted at one of Bey's three Inglewood concerts at SoFi Stadium.

YG's video comes hours after he hopped in the comments section of his ex Kehlani's post on Instagram. The rapper posted the OK hand emoji under a photo of them at the gym, which folks immediately took note of.

Kehlani and YG dated briefly in late 2019 and early 2020, releasing a Valentine's Day single together called "Konclusions." Days later, Kehlani dropped their own track alleging that YG cheated. In a May spot on the Breakfast Club, the singer went more in-depth about the rapper's infidelity.

YG and Saweetie have reportedly parted ways.

TMZ picked up the Shade Room's claim that the couple had an amicable split after dating for around seven months. Both parties think they work better as friends—and it appears that they aren’t looking to date anyone else, as their work schedules are quite busy.

The former couple fueled dating rumors last May when they went on a vacation together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where they were photographed locking lips. However, this wasn’t the first time they were spotted together. After Saweetie attended YG’s birthday party in March, they were allegedly snuggling at Coachella in April, and then were seen again on a restaurant date that month.

Last July, the pair collaborated on Saweetie’s celebratory “Birthday” song with YG, days after announcing the trio’s Str8 to the Klub Tour, which was later canceled.

Prior to YG, Saweetie dated Quavo for at least a couple of years. In March 2021, she declared via X that she was "single."

While she didn’t direct the message at the Migos rapper, it was evident whom she was writing about. “I’ve endured too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes for a false narrative to be circulating that degrades my character. Presents don’t band-aid scars and the love isn’t real when the intimacy is given to other women.” 

YG has had his own high-profile relationship, dating Kehlani for a few months from 2019 to 2020. The two ultimately broke up as well after Kehlani accused him of cheating.
