In honor of singer-songwriter Jhené Aiko’s birthday, rapper Big Sean posted a cute video on Instagram to celebrate. The couple has been linked since 2016 when they released a joint album called Twenty88, and the two have seemed inseparable ever since. Jhené even got a tattoo of Big Sean’s face back in October, and they’ve been working on a new collaborative project.
However, on March 13, just three days before Aiko’s birthday, the couple found themselves shutting down rampant rumors claiming Big Sean cheated on Jhené with Nicole Scherzinger. The Jasmine Brand, an entertainment blog, reported that the two were “all over each other” and “looked like they were a couple” at their VIP table during the Oscars afterparty.
The 30-year-old singer and Big Sean turned to Twitter to strike back against the rumors with Jhené tweeting first, denying the accusations.
sorry, but nothing about you guy’s fan fiction stories are true… I still love you tho ?

She tweeted again minutes later, this time complaining about the Internet’s rumors.
the internet is a wild place ? it’s a whole other reality. bless the internet. amen.

In support, Big Sean quoted the tweet and added five clapping emojis.
Big Sean’s birthday post three days later comes from a place of love. The post included a cute selfie of the couple with a caption referencing their joint album Twenty88 .
And that first birthday post was just the beginning: Big Sean later reposted his niece’s Instagram post for Jhené—an adorable picture of the two of them with the caption, “@jheneaiko Happy Birthday Auntie NeeNee!! Cant wait too see you again!”
Later that evening, the “Bounce Back” rapper posted his final picture of the day: the couple posed in front of a jet, captioned, “I love you unconditionally @jheneaiko! 3.16 Queen.”
With all these sweet celebratory messages out on the Internet, it’s hard to believe Big Sean could have ever betrayed his true love.
