Many fans in the comments were surprised to see that the singer and actress had broken up with her partner Jacob Latimore. But is that really what this picture means?

Joey Bada$$ and Serayah just possibly announced a relationship with a new picture Joey posted to Instagram. Moreover, this caught many fans in the comments by surprise, as she was dating actor and artist Jacob Latimore. While some simply lamented their breakup, others had some more interesting theories as to what the post could mean. Furthermore, Serayah starred in various popular TV series, including Empire, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, and most notably Black Mafia Family. As such, some people wondered whether this was the result of another media project of if they're really serious about their fling.

"This better be a scene from BMF… that’s all I know," one user commented on the New York MC's post. However, maybe that theory isn't all that unfounded, considering the multi-hyphenate career of the "Paper Trail$" artist. Moreover, Joey's acting career has been another highlight of his trajectory throughout the 2010s. For example, he appeared in another 50 Cent-led television smash, Power Book III: Raising Kanan. What's more is that he also appeared in the Wu-Tang-centered series as Inspectah Deck himself. With all this in mind, plus a few other projects, it wouldn't be surprising if this was a hint at a stronger on-screen collaboration.

Joey Bada$$ & Serayah Tease Fans On Instagram

Still, the renowned 28-year-old lyricist isn't exactly known to clout chase or engage in too many social media antics. As such, pulling a stunt like this for the sake of promotion or to get buzz seems a tad out of character. Of course, that's only up to him to decide, but most of his loyal fanbase is hyper-focused on his musical output above all. He's been doing just that these past two years after some time off, most recently exemplified by his appearance on Logic's latest project, College Park.

Meanwhile, Serayah's working on a music career of her own that's already led her to impassioned acclaim. For example, last year she released the sultry R&B cut "P.O.V." with production from OG Parker. Overall, the two versatile artists left their fans with quite the head-scratcher, so we'll see how this plays out. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Serayah and Joey Bada$$.
