Lil Baby and Saweetie further fueled dating rumors last weekend when the Icy Girl posted a photo of her sat on a mystery man’s lap on Instagram. Social media detectives quickly uncovered evidence linking the man’s identity to the 4PF rapper.
Quavo, who dated Saweetie for over two years before the couple called it quits in March, responded to the rumors on social media on Monday (November 29) with a shrug.
“Ain’t trippin we can swap it out! #QCTheLabel,” he wrote in an Instagram Story, referencing Quality Control Music, the Atlanta-based label both he and Lil Baby are signed to.

Quavo’s seemingly nonchalant response only sent the rumor mill into overdrive, though, as many fans believed he was hinting at hooking up with Lil Baby’s ex-girlfriend and baby mother, Jayda Cheaves. The speculation became even more rampant when Cheaves “liked” Quavo’s response on The Shade Room‘s Instagram, leading her to become a trending topic on Twitter.

Now, Jayda Cheaves has set the record straight on the speculation surrounding her and Quavo. The 24-year-old Instagram model and entrepreneur, who shares a two-year-old son with Lil Baby, jumped on Instagram Live on Tuesday night (November 30) to shut down the rumors of a romance between her and the Migos rapper.
“Y’all seen me like that post or whatever. I’m not no lame, I don’t indulge in lame activities like that,” she explained. “I don’t play them type of games — just to throw that out there. I just want y’all to know, I don’t play like that, so y’all ain’t gotta worry about that. We move with grace over here.”

Rumors of Lil Baby and Saweetie being an item sprang up last week after the My Turn hitmaker reportedly treated the High Maintenance rapper to a $100,000 shopping spree in New York City.
Despite the aforementioned photo of Saweetie allegedly sat on Baby’s lap, both artists have dismissed the speculation surrounding their love lives.
“I don’t have a man,” Saweetie stated during a recent interview with radio personality Nyla Symone. “I want a baby … [but] we gotta find the right man first who knows how to fucking communicate.”
Lil Baby, meanwhile, asserted his bachelor status by writing, “Baby not dating NO ONE!!! I’m Single!” in a since-deleted tweet.
