Bebe Rexha revealed during a recent concert that she and boyfriend Keyan Safyari called it quits after she publicized his body-shaming text messages.
Rexha, 33, shared the news while performing in London on Friday, July 28. “Now I just went through a breakup, so I might get a little emotional, so you need to help me here,” she told the crowd as she introduced her song “Atmosphere,” per E! News.
As she sang “I Am” later in the show, Rexha spotted a fan holding up a sign that read, “You are enough.” The message made her emotional and she teased, “You really are trying to make a bitch cry.”
Rexha’s split announcement comes shortly after she shared screenshots of texts allegedly sent by Safyari, in which he was critical of her weight. Rexha took to her Instagram Story on July 16 with the messages, causing some fans to wonder whether the twosome’s relationship was in trouble.
“I always said I would be honest with you and your face was changing so I told you it was…that was the conversation we were having and you asked,” the text read. “Because I care, would you rather I lied to you?”
Safyari then pointed out that Rexha — who has been candid about her weight fluctuation and other personal issues — had gained “35 pounds.”
He claimed: “Obviously you gained weight and your face changes? Should I pretend it didn’t happen and that it’s ok? Come on I gain 3 pounds and you call me chubbs and fat. Doesn’t mean you don’t love me. If you’re trying to find reasons to break up this makes sense…but it’s not the real reason.”
Safyari alleged Rexha was trying to “weaponize your anger or anxiety or any insecurity you may have” to find an excuse to call it quits. “You know I have always found you to be beautiful and loved you no matter what,” he
