During a recent interview with Nessa, Kehlani opened up about a past incident that shed light on the messy dynamics of a previous relationship. The singer revealed that the situation was very much on brand with how complicated things had become with Kyrie and Party, whom she had dated at the time. This love triangle had attracted significant media attention due to the drama surrounding the trio.
Kehlani confessed, “I threw them away, and he never mentioned it to me, and I never said anything until this very day. But there was crazier things that happened in that situation. So it checks out honestly, it checks out. All of it checks out.” She admitted being very young at the time and feeling unsure of how to handle the complexity of the situation, labeling one of the individuals involved as a “diabolical man.”
The specifics of Kehlani’s story date back to early 2016 when the singer, then 20 years old, went public about her relationship with Kyrie. However, just a few months later, Party shared a controversial photo on Instagram showing him in bed holding Kehlani’s hand, sparking a social media frenzy. Many accused Kehlani of infidelity, leading to a dark period where she attempted suicide.
It later emerged that Kehlani and Kyrie had broken up before the photo incident, a fact Party expressed remorse over during an interview with Rolling Stone in 2016. The artist shared, “Big time I regret how it went down. I look into people’s eyes, and I know they think I’m a bad guy. There’s a lot of details that people don’t know. I just hope people understand that was a year for him. And I hope everyone has a successful year, and I hope that’s in the past.”
Reflecting on his own emotions at the time, Party added, “It was a blue year for me. I thought, ‘Write a hit, you’ll be rich and happy.’ Meet one of the most beautiful girls in the world, one of the most talented, and I’ll be happy. All of that: I’m not happy.” These candid insights into the past shed light on the complexities of relationships and how external perceptions can impact personal experiences.
