AceShowbiz - Joey Badass and Serayah's relationship may be strictly professional after all. The rapper and the actress have teamed up for his upcoming music video, which has been previewed online ahead of its release on Wednesday, March 1.
On Tuesday, Joey made use of his social media account to tease the visuals for a song titled "Show Me". In the 25-second clip, the two appear to play a couple in the 1990s. They talk about his old camera and how to use it as they unpack their belongings.
" 'SHOW ME' visual out tmrw. 3/1 noon," Joey, whose real name is Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, wrote in the caption.
After seeing the post, his fans were relieved that Joey and Serayah may be just an on-screen couple. "Whew... I can breathe again! Y'all was looking a lil to deep into each others eyes in that last post," one person reacted.
Another commented on the post, "All we are thinking is THANK GOD." A third fan wrote, "don't scare me like that again," as someone else said, "Chileeeee thank god this was for a lil video cause I was beefing."
Someone, however, reminded them that Joey and Serayah starring in a music video together doesn't mean they're not dating in real life. "This don't mean they ain't dating tho lol," the user weighed in.
Joey and Serayah sparked dating rumors after he posted a picture of the two looking cozy during what looks like a dinner date. She dressed up in a red halter neck dress while the rapper suited up in black-and-white outfit with a tie. He simply captioned it with a black heart.
Fans were confused since Serayah publicly dated Jacob Latimore since 2019. She later hopped on Instagram Live to address her relationship with Jacob, stating that they're no longer together. As she was inundated with questions asking, "Soo wat happened to you and Jacob," she said on Sunday, "Shake up the room. Shake it up," before confirming that she and Jacob are no longer together. "No, I am not. I'm not anymore," she added, while getting her hair done in the video.
In a later portion of the live session, Serayah urged people to mind their own business. "People think it is so easy to get on the platform and start talking s**t. But you wouldn't like that on to you," she said, seemingly annoyed by the chatter about her possible romantic relationship with Joey. "So I'm just saying, simmer it down. That's it. Like, everybody be nice and worry about their own business."
The former "Empire" actress also said in a statement to The Shade Room on Monday, "Me and Jacob are no longer together." She added, "Sadly we just grew apart and I love and respect his journey moving forward."
The model, however, has neither confirmed nor denied her dating rumors with Joey.
