Jeffree Star has once again ignited the internet—this time with just eight words. On April 22, the beauty mogul tweeted, “Ok f*ck it.. The rumors were true,” prompting social media users to speculate whether he was finally confirming the long-circulated rumor about an alleged affair with Kanye West.
The tweet comes at a particularly charged time for Kanye, who is facing backlash over the lyrics of his newly released track Cousin. The controversial song has stirred conversations online, especially as it touches on disturbing family history. The timing of Jeffree’s message has raised eyebrows, with many wondering whether it’s a subtle dig or an intentional revelation.
A Rumor That Just Won’t Die
The rumors linking Star and West first exploded in early 2021, when TikTok influencer Ava Louise alleged that the rapper had been romantically involved with a “very famous male beauty guru.” Internet sleuths quickly connected the dots, pointing to Star due to his residence in Wyoming—coincidentally, the same state where Kanye owned a ranch at the time—and an old lyric from Star referencing West.
Despite the internet frenzy, Star was quick to deny the rumor in a YouTube video titled “Addressing The Kanye Situation.” Laughing off the accusation, he said, “This is so stupid… I’ve never even hung out with Kanye.” He went further to joke, “Let me just say this once—I like very tall men,” hinting that West wasn’t his type.
Ava Louise later admitted she made the story up entirely, claiming she wanted to stir up drama. Still, the internet never really let the narrative go, and Star continued to face questions about it in various interviews, including with Logan Paul and US Weekly. Each time, he denied any involvement and called the rumor ridiculous.
Is Jeffree Changing His Story?
That’s the question fans are grappling with after Star’s latest tweet. The lack of context has only fueled speculation. One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “Wait what does this mean?” while another chimed in, “Is this about Kanye???”
So far, Kanye West and his representatives have remained silent on the matter. Given the rapper’s recent history of airing deeply personal content online, fans are split between thinking Star is trying to stir the pot—or that he’s actually hinting at a real story.
Troll Move or Truth Bomb?
Jeffree Star is no stranger to controversy or viral moments. From beauty industry feuds to political drama, the entrepreneur knows how to command attention online. Some believe this tweet is simply another example of Star’s ability to hijack trending topics and spin them into publicity.
But others wonder whether there’s more to the story than he previously let on. Could Star be referencing a fleeting encounter? Was his earlier denial meant to protect someone’s privacy? Or is this just Star poking fun at a rumor that refuses to die?
Regardless of his intentions, Star’s post has succeeded in reigniting one of the internet’s favorite pop culture conspiracies. With millions of views and thousands of reposts, the buzz shows no sign of slowing down.
No Confirmation From Kanye
As of now, Kanye has neither confirmed nor denied the rumor. Given the rapper’s unpredictable social media habits and the chaotic nature of his recent posts, it’s unclear if he’ll even address it.
But one thing is for sure—when it comes to Jeffree Star and Kanye West, the internet never forgets. Whether this is a real admission or just another layer of internet trolling, fans are eating it up—and begging for more.
Until then, the truth remains somewhere between a tweet and a tall tale.
