Former Disney star Skai Jackson's boyfriend, who goes by the Facebook name Yerkky Yerkky, is being dragged by social media users for dissing the late Cameron Boyce on his Facebook live video just because someone said they looked alike.
Yerkky Yerkky is seen smoking and throwing shade at people who compare him to the late Cameron Boyce on his Facebook Live. He urged people not to compare him to a dead person, aka Cameron Boyce.

Skai Jackson and Cameron Boyce
The reason why people seem more mad at Skai's baby daddy disrespecting Cameron Boyce is because of the bond that Cameron and Skai Jackson have shared in the past.
Skai Jackson and Cameron Boyce's close friendship began during their time on the Disney Channel show Jessie, where they played siblings. Skai portrayed Zuri Ross, a witty and lively young girl, while Cameron played Luke Ross, her mischievous and fun-loving older brother. Their on-screen chemistry translated into a genuine off-screen friendship, as they spent years growing up together in the entertainment industry.
Tragically, Cameron Boyce passed away in July 2019 due to complications from epilepsy. His death deeply affected Skai. Skai has openly expressed her grief and has paid tribute to Cameron multiple times since his passing. She’s spoken about how much he meant to her, calling him a 'brother' and a kind, genuine person who always made those around him laugh and feel loved.
How did people find Skai Jackson's baby daddy's profile?
The frenzy started when Skai Jackson announced her pregnancy, sharing joyful photos and expressing her excitement to PEOPLE magazine:
"I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!"
While Jackson didn’t reveal her partner’s identity, social media detectives quickly uncovered him, especially after he posted a controversial message about Skai Jackson. He wrote:
“On wopp im salty I got this d*mb a** Disney Chanel b**** pregnant I hate this h**” Yerky Yerky posted on his Facebook page.
Popular blogger Tasha K shared the viral Facebook post, which garnered hate from Shai Jackson's fans in the comments.
Both, Skai Jackson and her mother, Kiya Cole, stepped into the comments to defend the potential father, stating his account had been hacked.
Skai Jackson was also arrested for domestic battery on her boyfriend, just this August.
