Model, influencer, video vixen and entrepreneur Ariana Fletcher recently had an online meltdown where she claimed that her rapper boyfriend Moneybagg Yo was “mad” at him for the ongoing cheating rumors, which she denied.

“Money is mad at me and I feel like the world is ending. I didn’t even do sh*t. This is why I don’t go out anymore,” Ariana was heard saying in a dishevelled condition while unable to get up from her pillow.

She captioned the viral short clip:

“When your n***a mad at you, it feels like the world ending.”

However, moments later, Fletcher wrote in another post:

“MBY is not my n***a. Please stop.”

These sparked breakup speculations. While Moneybagg Yo continued to maintain his silence on the matter, Ariana Fletcher claimed that it was her late brother Kyle’s birthday and she was “losing” it.

“I’m taking this year really hard. I apologize for acting out. I’m losing it today,” she wrote.

Kyle refers to Kyle Jaminson, who died at the age of 25 in August 2013. He was a mentor for the youth in school as well as on the streets of Chicago, Illinois.

In a follow-up post, Ariana Fletcher addressed Moneybagg Yo, real name DeMario DeWayne White Jr, and apologized for being “out of line.”

“I wasn’t apologizing to y’all. I was apologizing to Mario for being disrespectful! Cause I was out of line and that sh*t was not caused for.”

Moneybagg Yo hasn’t responded to the same at the time of writing.


Everything we know about Ariana Fletcher’s late brother

Kyle Jaminson was born on December 7, 1988, and was seven years older than Ariana Fletcher. When she was 18, his brother died from an undisclosed medical condition after being hospitalized for a while. His memorial service was held on September 7, 2013.

Since then, Fletcher has paid him tribute via her social media handles. She goes by @therealkylesister on Instagram, where she has amassed over 6 million followers.

On TikTok, Ariana’s handle is called @1therealkylesister. Meanwhile, on X, she identifies herself as KYLESISTER aka @AriTheDon.

In May 2020, Fletcher also got a tattoo of Kyle’s face on her arm to keep his memory alive. She is also often seen sporting personalized jewellery dedicated to him.

Elsewhere, their family previously launched a now-defunct GoFundMe titled “Kyle John Jaminson Education Foundation.” The fundraiser described Ariana’s late brother as:

“the type of guy who would walk in a room and light it up with his contagious laughter and big personality.”

Every year on Kyle’s death anniversary on August 30, Ariana Fletcher pays him tribute. For instance, in 2021, she took to Instagram and uploaded photographs from their shared childhood.

“8 years… still can't talk about it. You are my light. I know it's you guiding me. We love and miss you so much. The things I would do for just 10 more seconds with you. Forever in my heart and always on my mind! Can't nothing in this world fix my broken heart when it comes to you. Come see me in my dreams tonight. It's been a while. Forever KYLE!” the caption read.
She also wrote on X, “Today makes 8 years without you [heartbreak emoji].”

Ariana Fletcher’s hair extension brand, KYChe Extensions, is also named after Jaminson and honors his legacy.

On December 7, 2023, the model marked her brother’s birth anniversary and wished him a “Happy heavenly birthday” on Instagram.

“I know you're with me every day. I wanna be strong today, but I’m so weak. I miss you so much and Yosohn talks about you all the time… your name is so alive it's crazy! I know you are right here. I just wish I could hug you. I love you so much.”

The Instagram Story was accompanied by an image of Kyle Jaminson.


Ariana Fletcher has been in an on-and-off relationship with Moneybagg Yo since 2019. She was previously involved with rapper G Herbo, aka Lil Herb, and shares a son named Yosohn.

Fletcher was recently seen hanging out with Herbo’s current partner, Taina Williams.
