During her pregnancy, Skai Jackson's alleged boyfriend is causing controversy.
Yerkky Yerkky, who many fans assume is Skai's boyfriend and the father of her unborn child, seemed to make fun of her late co-star Cameron Boyce shortly after the Disney Channel alumna revealed she was expecting her first child.
The content creator seemed to respond to comparisons to Cameron in a recent Facebook Live that went viral on social media, telling viewers to stop comparing me to a dead n---a.
What the f--k? he inquired further. Y'all keep comparing to an n---a that's dead.
The four-season series Jessie, which aired from 2011 to 2015, featured Skai and Cameron as siblings.
After having an epileptic seizure while he was asleep, Cameron passed away in 2019 at the age of 20.
Yerkky Yerkky's comments were swiftly criticized by Skai's followers; one person on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, O hell nahh we don’t play about Cameron Boyce at all.
Don’t you ever disrespect Cameron Boyce!!! said another.
Skai has not responded to Yerkky Yerkky's comments in public. She did, however, defend him earlier this week when a post on his Facebook page said, I'm salty I got this Disney Channel chick pregnant.
His page was hacked! she wrote on Instagram after the post went viral. He never said this. End of story.
Kiya Cole, her mother, also clarified the situation on Instagram, posting, HE NEVER SAID THIS!!!! Stop being so messy!
During her pregnancy, Skai has also been depending on her mother. After all, Skai recently showed off her baby bump in a crop top while the two were seen having a good time together as a mother and daughter.
Skai said of her mother in April, She's always kept me humble, to E! News. I feel like when you have that great support system, you cannot go wrong.
