Leena Sayed, partner of professional boxer Devin Haney, has addressed a viral controversy stemming from an emotional phone call with rapper Young Thug. The clip resurfaced online and sparked debates about her past and relationship timeline.
The viral video, recorded in 2022 before her relationship with Haney, shows Sayed expressing affection for Young Thug during a phone call while he was incarcerated. In the clip, she tearfully said, “I don’t like anyone… I want you.”
Although the call predated her current relationship, fans questioned her loyalty to Haney. The backlash intensified due to her shared family life with the boxer, including their child and reports of a second pregnancy.

— DJ Akademiks (@Akademiks) December 23, 2024Young Thug, who was facing legal challenges related to alleged gang activity, also addressed the situation. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he distanced himself from the drama, writing:
“Man me and twin was talking bout some whole other serious sht… I don’t know why she spoke on loving other people or anything else cause ain’t giving no fck bout no hes or nggas… Never have never will lol.”
His statement suggests the conversation was misinterpreted and taken out of context.
Sayed, who prefers to stay out of the public eye, has rarely been the subject of media attention. This controversy marks the few times she has been thrust into the spotlight. Meanwhile, Haney has remained silent on the matter.
This incident highlights how fleeting moments from the past can resurface and ignite controversy in the digital age. Social media speculation and viral content continue to blur the lines between private and public life.
