In addition to Justine’s impressive vocals, she’s also a knockout, so it’s no surprise that she frequently catches the eye of various men in and out of the industry. For a while, Justine Skye was dating fellow singer Giveon. However, the relationship ran its course, with the star allegedly putting him on blast for his philandering ways. So, who is Justine Skye dating? Keep reading to find out.
Justine Skye has called foul on the Lil Yachty dating rumors.
After social media users have been talking about Justine Skye and Lil Yachty possibly dating, the 26-year-old has set the record straight. In a recent Instagram Story — captured by The Shade Room — both Justine and Yachty came together to shut down the rumors.
In the video, you hear a voice saying, "Y'all come look at this," as a Bossip article of the pair possibly dating is displayed in the background. Yachty then pops up in the video and the pair share a laugh. Now that's how you clear up a rumor!
According to Bossip, Justine and Lil Yachty were spotted hanging out with one another on Jan. 23, 2022, in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood. While they weren't showing any PDA in the photos, their being together was enough to get social media talking. And since it appears that they celebrated the rapper's birthday together, it ignited the rumors.
But as everyone can now see based on their Instagram story, Yachty and Justine are not in a romantic relationship. The pair are simply friends that were enjoying some time together. Nothing more, nothing less.
Justin Skye once seemingly threw shade at her ex-boyfriend Giveon on Instagram Live.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. On a Dec. 15, 2021 Instagram Live session, the songbird talked to fans about an incident where she caught an ex-boyfriend in a lie. And while she did not mention Giveon by name, fans are convinced she was speaking about him.
In the video, Justine said she found out that an ex whom she shared a home with cheated after he bought a new phone and left behind his old phone at their house. With access to his old phone, Justine claims that she caught him talking to at least 10 different women in real time. In fact, Justine claims that she finally told him he was caught when she watched a girl text him and say she “was outside” and “at his hotel.”
Making matters worse, Justine says that her ex and his friends were trying to formulate a lie to tell Justine about the girl in question.
Even though Giveon didn't respond to any of Justine's claims, fans are sure that the story is about him, and are taking it as confirmation of what many already suspected: He is a liar and a cheater.
This may be the reason why the star called their relationship quits some time in October 2021. Justine took to Twitter and posted a slew of revealing tweets on Oct. 12, 2021, and fans believe that she and the “For Tonight” singer broke up at that time.
In the tweets, Justine spoke about “people breaking her down,” cheaters staying true to their nature, and “letting those that she thought loved her break her." Plus, a now-deleted tweet (via Bossip) served as the ultimate confirmation for fans that she has ended her relationship.
“A man wouldn’t know how to treat you right if you gave them a manual. I know I shouldn’t, but I really can’t help but blame myself for not saving enough love for me in the end. Whatever. I don't care anymore. I’m done,” Justine wrote.
Giveon didn't posted any tweets of his own, remaining tight-lipped about the topic.
Justine Skye has dated other men in the industry.
In case you didn’t know, Justine is a hot commodity in Hollywood’s dating pool. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, but she also keeps a low profile and seems to have a bubbly personality, as shown on her social media pages.
Before starting an alleged romance with Giveon, the Brooklyn native was linked to a few eligible men in the industry. Per The Artistree, Justine dated rapper Playboi Carti from 2014 to 2016. The star reportedly went on to date Wizkid in 2016, but the pair quietly separated in 2017.
Justine reportedly went on to date Justise Winslow, Lewis Hamilton, GoldLink, and Sheck Wes. Unfortunately, Justine claims that she was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of the “Mo Bamba” rapper.
In a lengthy tweet, Justine referred to Sheck as “my abuser” and shared that the rapper and his friends allegedly stalked her and her friends.
She also spoke about abuse in an October 2018 interview with Billboard.
"I was one of those people who thought, ‘Oh! Nobody would ever put their hands on me,’" Justine told the outlet. "You [must] find the strength to remove yourself from the situation. Understand that you are important. You are valuable. Your life is valuable. Your love is valuable! You deserve so much better."
Since the star has been through a lot on the relationship front, it’s understandable that she prefers to keep her dating life on the hush-hush. As for her current relationship status, fans hope Justine will have better luck in her future relationships.
