"Like, the Kanye one?": Internet brings up 2021 Jeffree Star x Kanye West rumors after make-up artist's cryptic X post

In 2021, Jeffree Star denied rumors about an alleged relationship between him and the Donda rapper, Kanye West. However, one of Star's latest tweets on X reignited the rumors between Kanye and the makeup artist in 2025. On April 22, 2025, Jeffree Star decided to stoke the fire by posting a cryptic post on X, causing netizens to come up with their own conclusions and speculations.

Jeffree Star wrote:

"Ok f**k it.. The rumors were true," the makeup artist posted with no further context.
