The New York singer Bebe Rexha is one of the latest musical phenomena worldwide. She’s been working in the industry for almost a decade, but it wasn’t until she released Expectations, her first studio album, that her craze for her and her music was unleashed.
Lucky with her followers and her projects, she was also soon lucky in love. In 2020 she met Keyan Safyari, a man who managed to make her fall in love completely. “This boy is special. He is loving, he takes care of me, he understands my career and what I do. My family loves him,” the singer confessed to Entertainment Tonight, when the first rumors of romance arose. The filmmaker stole the pop star’s heart, or at least until he began criticizing her for her physical appearance.
Three years later, their relationship could have come to an end. At least that is what emerges from the gesture of the singer, who over the weekend shared one of the horrible messages that her partner had sent her, in which he criticized her -assuring that he only wanted to be “honest”- for having gained weight 15 kilos and that “his face would have changed”.
“Hey. I never said that you weren’t pretty or that I didn’t like you. Actually, I said how pretty you were and how much I loved you,” the text message reads, “But I always said that I would be honest with you and your face was changing, so I told you what was happening.”
“That was the conversation we were having and you asked,” Safyari continues, “Because I worry. Would you rather I lied to you? You’ve put on 30 pounds, you’ve obviously gained weight and your face has changed. Should I just pretend it didn’t happen and would that be okay?”
The couple apparently continued to argue, with Safyari adding: “Come on, I put on a pound and you called me ‘chubby’. That 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.” If you’re not happy with me, with yourself or with life and you don’t see a future in us, then okay and that’s the reason. Don’t use something like this as a weapon for your anger, anxiety or any insecurity you may have. You know that always I found you beautiful and I loved you, despite everything”.
The filmmaker apparently asked the singer that she should “think about things”, write down everything she felt and “talk to a therapist” to find the root of the problem. “Tell me if you want to talk or need to clarify something. I love you,” ends the filmmaker’s message.
Despite the fact that none of the protagonists have confirmed whether there really is a definitive break, for the fans of the singer of Albanian origin, it is clear: this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. The reason is that it would not be the first time.
Last May, the singer revealed that she had been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which had led her to gain a large amount of weight, something that she herself freely admitted. However, she did not understand why her weight gain was so important to people. “I understand that we are public figures and it draws attention, like me, that I was very thin, but I don’t understand. Nobody knows what the person may be going through. We are in 2023, we should not talk about the weight of the people.”
