Serayah Exposes Joey Bada$$ In Breakup Statement

Four hours after posting, the breakup statement was still available on Serayah’s IG page. She opened with a comment about a woman choosing herself and why, at certain points in life, it’s necessary. Her second sentence got straight to the point. Serayah revealed she ended her engagement to Joey Bada$$, calling it a “difficult decision.” The ex-couple went public with their romance in 2023 and welcomed their first and only child, a son named Joey, last year.

“I loved deeply, believed wholeheartedly in the life we were building and wanted nothing more than to protect our family,” Serayah said in her statement. “Unfortunately, I had to face a painful truth: there had been repeated infidelity throughout our relationship, including during some of the most vulnerable and meaningful moments of my life.”

Serayah clarified that she wasn’t seeking sympathy, retaliation or to “tear anyone down.” She said her reason for exposing her situation is to encourage the next woman to notice the red flags and take action without questioning herself. “If your intuition is telling you something is wrong, listen to it,” her statement said.

“Don’t make yourself smaller to keep someone else comfortable. Don’t compromise your values because you’re afraid of losing the future you imagined. And don’t allow someone else’s choices to become a referendum on your worth. Love should not require you to abandon yourself.”

She closed her statement by saying she respects sharing a son with Joey Bada$$, adding that the boy’s peace and having a relationship with both his parents are her priorities.
