Walker responded on Saturday on Instagram by sharing a screenshot of Kehlani reacting to his message and saying that she “broke” his “heart.” She confronted him in a direct message, saying, “You’re sick in the head. I done been cool off you so so so so many times yo. How many times I had to cut you off for being a pathological liar and you tried to assault my best friend in my apartment. You DID assault my best friend in my room at my spot on Hollywood and Orange. Don’t threaten me goofy a–. Fair a– warning.”
“Your homegirl must not have told you the truth. I’ll address it shortly, say less,” Walker said in the caption.

“To all the men that follow me, Black and Latino men especially, Imma speak up for y’all. This could of easily happened to any of you and ruined your life all because someone decided to lie. To the woman that know my heart, thank you for sticking by me and supporting me during this tough time. The truth will be revealed in time.
Kehlani, you broke my heart. You know me personally. I brought you in my home when you were homeless and you lived with me for six months before your career took off. You told me you are in love with me behind closed doors, now you’re encouraging your 12,000,000 followers to make up allegations about me to put me back in jail. I ain’t these other rappers. Just letting you know in advance, you did this to yourself.”
