Just when you thought the post-concert chaos had died down, Yaya Mayweather stepped in and made it messier.
After viral footage showed Jayda Cheaves and Dess Dior caught up in a heated nightclub altercation in Atlanta on Saturday night, Yaya jumped on X with the kind of reaction that instantly told you where she stood. “Dess was in the club straight walking s**t down… ok dess mayweather,” she wrote, giving Dess her stamp of approval and comparing her energy to Floyd Mayweather in the ring.
The clips started making the rounds after Mariah The Scientist’s April 11 concert in Atlanta, where Dess had also performed. Neither Jayda nor Dess has publicly explained what sparked the altercation, which is exactly why the footage spread so fast. Social media filled in the blanks before either woman said a word, and by the time Yaya entered the chat, the incident had already turned into one of those very-online celebrity moments that people start narrating like live sports.
Jayda’s follow-up only made people more curious
Then came Jayda’s response, or at least something close to one. On Sunday, April 12, she posted a clip to her Instagram Stories showing herself and Dess in the back of a car, vibing to Dess’ single “Different Pages.” Jayda sat on Dess’ lap and sang along, which immediately sent people into speculation mode. Was it an attempt to clear the air? Was it old footage? Was it a way of saying everything was fine? Right now, nobody outside that circle seems to know. What it did do, though, was make the whole situation even murkier.
The internet did what it always does
Once the video of the altercation hit social media, the reactions came fast. Some people praised Dess for riding for Jayda, while others were more focused on the sheer confusion of it all, especially after Jayda posted up with her again so soon after. In other words, the story stopped being just about the altercation and became about the performance of aftermath too, which is usually how these things go once they hit the timeline.
