American model and Instagram influencer Leena Sayed has finally spoken about the whirlwind of controversy that surfaced after a viral video featuring her left the internet abuzz. The clip, in which she appeared tearfully on the phone with rapper Young Thug during his incarceration, created much drama and debate, mainly because of her tearful confession: “I don’t like anyone… I want you.” The video timing has been discussed as Sayed is now having a child with professional boxer Devin Haney.
The Viral Video: What Sparked the Drama?
The video in question quickly went viral with all the speculation. In that short clip, Sayed said she was in love and telling Young Thug so while he served time in 2022. The conversation happened during his incarceration on charges based on alleged gang activity. The snippet gave fans their first glimpse of her vulnerabilities and affection, which made several questions about the nature of this relationship.
What was adding fuel to the fire was Sayed’s current relationship with Devin Haney, a 27-year-old star in the boxing world. Generally, out of the limelight, she suddenly found herself at the center of online discussions.
Leena Sayed Sets the Record Straight
In order to quell the rumors, Sayed took to Instagram to put the record straight about her timeline of events. She explained that the video is from before she met Haney and reiterated that the viral snippet was taken out of context.
In her testimony, she said that the entire conversation of 15 minutes was not necessarily about the dramatic moment made public by the video. She complained about the way the internet carried out the story when she wrote:
“That video was before I met my bd. I would never talk to Thug or any other man.”
Her argument was in the interest of her present relationship because apparently, she is pregnant with the child of Haney.
Young Thug Responds to the Controversy
Young Thug, who is no stranger to controversy, also weighed in to clear the air. The rapper, currently facing serious legal challenges, addressed the issue in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He dismissed the drama, emphasizing that the phone call wasn’t about romance but something entirely different. He wrote:
“Man me and twin was talking bout some whole other serious s–t. I don’t know why she spoke on loving other people or anything else cause ain giving no f–k bout no h–s or n—-s… Never have never will lol.”
Thug’s comment seemed to indicate that the viral moment was being exaggerated and that there was nothing to be drawn from the call.
Fans React to the Drama
As any internet scandal does, it attracted many remarks from the fans. They debated its genuineness, inquiring whether emotions were portrayed or exaggerated in the video. Others accused the time when the clip resurfaced, inferring motives and reasons for making it surface.
Sayed remained very resolute over her stance; the video had been long before her current affair.
Protecting Relationships Amidst the Spotlight
This controversy has brought to the fore how challenging it is to retain privacy in the digital era, especially when intimate moments are made public. Meanwhile, Sayed continues to protect her relationship with Devin Haney while Young Thug deals with his own legal battles.

What’s certain is that both parties want to get past the drama. Sayed’s honest clarification on Instagram and Thug’s dismissive response on X reflect their mutual intent on getting away from this viral moment.
The Bigger Picture
This incident exemplifies the power and pitfalls of viral media. A brief, out-of-context clip can snowball into a full-blown controversy affecting not only the individuals involved but also their loved ones.
Leena Sayed is a reclusive influencer, and now she has landed herself in the headlines. The woman is pregnant and a mother-to-be while being the partner to one of boxing’s next big stars.
As the internet continues to speculate, one thing is sure: both Leena Sayed and Young Thug did everything in their power to tell their stories.
Final Thoughts
The digital age brings along moments that might go viral and be either a blessing or a curse. For Leena Sayed, this controversy may bring unwanted attention, but a quick and transparent response shows the determination of the woman to protect her relationship and reputation.
Young Thug is focusing on more important things and proving sometimes that the best way to handle a scandal is by staying unbothered.
Whether you’re team Sayed or just here for the drama, this saga serves as a reminder of how fleeting—and complicated—viral fame can be.
