Kash Doll EXPOSES Za’Darius Secret DL Affairs | His Gay Lover Revealed | HO

Y’all, buckle up because the tea is scalding! Detroit’s own Kash Doll and NFL star Za’Darius Smith have officially called it quits, and the internet is in shambles. The breakup itself was messy enough, but the rumors swirling around why they split have taken this saga to a whole new level.

Allegations of secret lovers, manipulation, and toxic behavior are flying—and Kash Doll herself is at the center, exposing it all. Let’s break down how this “match made in heaven” turned into the messiest breakup of 2025, and why everyone is asking: Did Za’Darius really have a secret gay lover on the DL?

From DM Slides to Ghana Getaways

Let’s rewind for a second. Kash Doll and Za’Darius first linked up on the low, way before anyone on the internet caught wind. According to Kash, Za’Darius had been in her DMs for a minute, but she didn’t pay him any mind until they met in person at a club in Detroit.

Sparks flew, numbers were exchanged, and soon enough, they were inseparable. For months, they kept things private, dodging rumors and paparazzi—until they took a couple’s trip to Ghana and fans finally put two and two together.

Kash Doll later joked about how they managed to keep it so quiet in the US, only to get exposed while living their best lives in Africa. “We went to Miami, we went everywhere, and never got spotted. But Ghana? That’s where it all came out,” she said. It seemed like a fairytale at first—two people who’d been through heartbreak finally finding each other. But as we all know, what’s done in the dark always comes to light.

Trouble in Paradise: Control Issues & Toxic Vibes

The cracks started showing when Kash Doll began opening up about the relationship. In an interview with The Shade Room, she talked about how Za’Darius preferred her without makeup and weave, encouraging her to embrace her natural beauty. On the surface, it sounded sweet—until you caught the tone. Was it a preference, or was he telling her what to do?

There’s a big difference between “I like you natural” and “Don’t wear makeup or a weave.” When a partner’s preference crosses into directives, especially about something as personal as your appearance, it can get real controlling, real quick. Kash Doll said she was comfortable with it, but fans started picking up on the vibe that Za’Darius wasn’t just sharing opinions—he was setting rules.

And that wasn’t all. Sources close to the couple said Za’Darius’ controlling ways went way beyond appearances. Rumors swirled about arguments, jealousy, and Kash Doll feeling suffocated. The relationship that once looked like #goals was starting to feel like a cautionary tale.

The Breakup Heard ‘Round the Internet

It all came crashing down last week. Kash Doll made a quiet but pointed announcement on social media:

“At this point in my life, I just need to be single. Za’Darius is a great guy, but we can’t see eye to eye, and with all due respect, we decided to part ways. I’m giving the internet a break also, so I’m done with y’all too right now.”

But she didn’t stop there. Kash Doll retweeted a post about manipulation and toxic behavior, which had everyone side-eyeing Za’Darius:

“Manipulation is when someone blames you for your reaction to their toxic behavior, but doesn’t discuss their disrespect that triggered you.”

Fans immediately started speculating—what did Za’Darius do? Was he cheating? Was he lying? And then the real bombshell dropped: Multiple sources claimed Kash Doll found out Za’Darius was cheating on her, and not just with any woman, but allegedly with another man.

The Secret Gay Lover Allegation

Let’s be clear: None of these rumors have been confirmed by Kash Doll or Za’Darius himself. But the streets are talking, and the story goes like this—Kash Doll discovered Za’Darius was living a double life, keeping a secret DL (down low) relationship with another man. When she found out, she decided she wasn’t sticking around for the drama.

The internet exploded. Was this the real reason behind the breakup? Did Kash Doll “expose” Za’Darius on purpose, or did someone else leak the tea? Some even speculated that her ex, rapper Tracy T, might’ve had something to do with it, either by spilling the beans or fanning the flames.

Regardless of where the rumors started, Kash Doll’s breakup post and her cryptic retweets fueled the fire. Fans started combing through old posts, looking for clues. Suddenly, every photo, every tweet, every interview was being dissected for signs that Za’Darius was living on the DL.

Toxic Patterns & Public Drama

As if the cheating rumors weren’t enough, fans started pointing to a pattern in Za’Darius’ behavior—not just in relationships, but on the field, too. One commenter wrote,

“Za’Darius seems to have issues. He can’t get along with anyone. He went from the Ravens to the Packers, then the Vikings, then Cleveland, now Detroit. It seems like the dude can’t get along with anyone.”

Others said Kash Doll’s decision to leave was about more than just cheating. It was about reclaiming her self-worth after being manipulated and controlled. “A man that changes you from who you were in the beginning to who he wants you to be is never where it’s at,” one fan wrote. “Controlling men are never where it’s at.”

Tracy T Enters the Chat

Let’s not forget about Tracy T, Kash Doll’s baby daddy and longtime on-again, off-again flame. After the breakup, Tracy T wasted no time making his feelings known. He posted rants about taking custody of his kids, throwing shade at both Kash Doll and Za’Darius, and referencing old beef over Za’Darius being around his children.

Tracy T and Kash Doll’s history is its own roller coaster. They started dating in 2021 after a DM slide, quickly went Insta official, and welcomed their son, Cash, in January 2022. By March 2024, Kash Doll was pregnant again, and in June, they welcomed daughter Clarity. But after Clarity’s arrival, Kash Doll said she saw things “more clear”—and decided she was done with the drama.

By July 2024, she was single and unapologetic about it, posting,

“Single and I don’t give a f*ck about y’all saying I have two kids by him. Now I’m just a baby mama. Blah blah blah. I’m not dealing with just anything to keep my family together.”

Tracy T, meanwhile, kept the drama going, posting,

“Looks like I’ma be paying the tuition by myself,”

a reference to an old argument with Za’Darius about school clothes and tuition for the kids.

Is the DL Rumor Real or Just Revenge?

With all the chaos, fans are split. Some believe Kash Doll walked away because Za’Darius was cheating with another man and keeping secrets. Others think Tracy T is behind the rumors, trying to spin the block and get his family back by any means necessary. Still others say it’s just a messy breakup, with both sides playing the PR game and using social media to air out grievances.

One thing’s for sure: Kash Doll is done letting anyone control her narrative. Whether or not Za’Darius really had a secret gay lover, she’s made it clear she’s not putting up with manipulation, disrespect, or toxic behavior. And the internet? Well, they’re going to keep speculating until someone drops real receipts.

The Takeaway

At the end of the day, this isn’t just about a breakup. It’s about self-love, boundaries, and refusing to lose yourself for anyone—no matter how famous, rich, or fine they are. Kash Doll’s story is a reminder that you don’t have to stay in a relationship that makes you feel less than, and you definitely don’t have to stay silent when someone tries to gaslight you.

So, is Za’Darius really living on the DL? Did Kash Doll expose him, or is it all just internet gossip? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: This emotional roller coaster isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
