Khaotic vs. Kiyomi: The Messy Business of Reality TV Relationships.

Reality TV is never short on drama, but when personal relationships mix with business deals, things can go downhill fast.

That’s exactly what’s happening with Love & Hip Hop star Khaotic and Kiyomi Leslie, who have found themselves in a heated public dispute over unpaid work, alleged broken promises, and relationship drama.

Kiyomi recently took to social media to air her grievances, exposing a side of Khaotic that fans may not have seen before.

From claims of being misled in their relationship to accusations of not getting paid for work she completed, this situation has spiraled into a full-blown social media battle.

But let’s not forget—this isn’t the first time Khaotic has been accused of shady business practices.

His name has been linked to similar disputes with Scrappy, Shakana, and other reality stars. So, is this just another case of miscommunication, or is there a pattern emerging?

Let’s break down the Kiyomi vs. Khaotic debacle, from the alleged “fake” relationship to the financial fallout and the response that has everyone talking.

Kiyomi Speaks Out: “It Was Never Real”

Kiyomi Leslie, who gained fame from her appearances on Growing Up Hip Hop and Love & Hip Hop, dropped a bombshell when she revealed that her entire “relationship” with Khaotic was nothing more than a business arrangement.

According to Kiyomi, she was clear from the start that she wasn’t interested in a romantic relationship with Khaotic.

However, he allegedly wanted something more and tried to push their professional collaboration into something personal.

“He wanted a real relationship, but I wasn’t ready for that. I told him straight up—it wasn’t even like that. This was business.”

Despite her stance, Khaotic reportedly continued pursuing her, which ultimately led to tension between them.

The Money Drama: Unpaid Work & Broken Agreements

One of the biggest issues Kiyomi raised was about money. According to her, Khaotic failed to pay her for the videos she filmed and edited for him.

She explained that they had a verbal agreement where she would receive half of the revenue from each video, but that never happened.

“I texted him and asked, ‘Are you going to pay me for the videos I did for you?’ And he straight-up said NO.”

Kiyomi says she filmed and edited at least 10 videos, and when she asked for payment, Khaotic’s assistant responded by claiming she had “breached the contract” because she didn’t complete a full 30-day cycle.

“There was no contract! The only agreement we had was that he would pay me 50% of the earnings from each video.”

To make matters worse, Khaotic allegedly offered to pay her only if she agreed to film with him for another 15 days—essentially holding the payment hostage for more unpaid work.

Kiyomi wasn’t having it.

“I’m not filming with him for another 15 days when that month is already over. That just means he’ll make more money next month, and I still won’t get paid for the work I already did.”

And just like that, she cut off all communication, blocked him on social media, and decided to expose everything online.

Khaotic’s Response: Deflect & Delete

It didn’t take long for Khaotic to respond to the allegations. He initially posted a video on YouTube addressing the situation, but the video mysteriously disappeared shortly after.

So why did he delete it?

Many believe that the backlash was too intense, with fans calling him out for not paying Kiyomi and dragging his reputation even further.

In the comments section before the video was removed, people were already siding with Kiyomi:

“Why not just pay her? It’s that simple.”
“Scrappy and Shakana warned us about him. He’s doing the same thing over and over.”
“Another case of a man using a woman’s labor for free. Typical.”

Rather than addressing the situation head-on, Khaotic took the passive-aggressive approach, telling Kiyomi:

“Send me a CashApp request, and I’ll pay you whatever you think I owe you.”

But Kiyomi wasn’t buying it. She felt that if he really wanted to make things right, he wouldn’t have needed a public callout to settle his debts.

Scrappy & Shakana’s Similar Complaints

Kiyomi isn’t the first person to claim Khaotic scammed them in a business deal.

Scrappy, a longtime star of Love & Hip Hop, also had financial disputes with Khaotic, stating that he worked on YouTube videos but was never fairly compensated. Scrappy revealed:

“I did 12 videos, and he gave me less than $5,000. Meanwhile, he made over $20K on my content.”

Similarly, Shakana accused Khaotic of exploiting their business relationship, using her name and platform to boost his own YouTube channel while keeping all the profits for himself.

At this point, many fans are starting to see a pattern—Khaotic collaborates with people, uses their time and content to grow his brand, and then refuses to pay them what they’re owed.

Lessons Learned: Business & Friendships Don’t Mix

This situation serves as yet another reminder that verbal agreements in business are risky—especially in the world of reality TV, where clout and financial gain often come before genuine relationships.

Kiyomi, Scrappy, and Shakana all learned this lesson the hard way:

Always have a contract in writing, detailing payment terms and responsibilities.

Don’t rely on friendship to assume good business practices.

Know when to walk away before getting exploited for free labor.

In Kiyomi’s words:

“If I had known this was going to be a pattern, I would’ve put everything in writing from day one.”

Final Thoughts: Is This the End of Khaotic’s YouTube Hustle?

With multiple people now calling out Khaotic for the same shady business tactics, his reputation is taking a serious hit.

Kiyomi’s exposé has opened the floodgates, with more people likely to come forward with similar stories.

While Khaotic still insists that he’s done nothing wrong and that he’s “helping” people by featuring them on his platform, the reality is clear:

Too many people have the same complaint—and in the entertainment industry, when the pattern is this obvious, people stop working with you.

So will Khaotic change his ways? Or will he continue burning bridges until he has no one left to work with?

Only time will tell.

But one thing is for sure—reality TV drama never sleeps, and this won’t be the last time we hear about business deals gone wrong in Hollywood.
