Rapper Arkeisha Antoinette Knight, also known as Kash Doll, has announced her breakup with professional football defensive end Za'Darius Smith.
In an X post from August 10, Doll wrote:
“At this point of my life I just need to be single.. Zadarius a great guy but we can’t see eye to eye and with all due respect we decided to part ways. I’m giving the internet a break also so I’m done with yall too right now.”
Za'Darius Smith also seemingly confirmed his relationship status in an Instagram story with the word “Single” written in a black background.
Rumours about Smith and Kash Doll dating began earlier this year. However, their relationship came under the spotlight after she revealed in an interview with The Shade Room that Smith "want me to wear no makeup."
Per TMZ, Kash Doll was previously in a relationship with music artist Tracy T, with whom she has a son. The former couple also shares a daughter born in 2024, People Magazine notes.
In June 2025, she sat down for an interview with Dominique Perry on BET Talks, where the latter asked Doll about Black Love. Kash Doll said:
“Black Love is like everything cause it’s just showing that black people could love each other and really genuinely unconditionally be together and enjoy each other. We see other races do it and it's always so perfect but it's cool we see our black people do it. I love Black Love.”
What did Kash Doll say about her relationship with Dex Osama?
In a 2019 interview with DJ Vlad, Kash Doll revealed that she had a boyfriend named Dex Osama. She said after they started dating, he often gave her $1500 to stay home because he didn’t like her going out unless it was for work.
One day, while they were on their way to the mall, she told him she wanted to be a rapper since she had always dreamed of being an entertainer. She said he encouraged her, saying she could do it because she looked good, people already liked her, she had a nice body, and she wore a chain.
At that time, she didn’t know how to write songs and had never told anyone about her dream because she thought it was impossible. She said she never imagined she would become a rapper, as she later did. Looking back on their relationship, Kash Doll said:
“I started my career in 2014 he went to jail and but he and I'm getting a little possessive so he went to jail and I was like my time to get away from him so I move when he went to jail, I just made sure I gave him money to make sure that he was good while he was in there.”
Kash Doll said that by the time he was released from jail, they had no ties with each other. She said they didn’t get along and there was much feuding between them. The interviewer mentioned that Dex Osama died in a strip club during a shootout.
