Khaotic vs. Kiyomi Leslie: The Truth Behind Their Public Fallout.

In the ever-dramatic world of reality TV, relationships are often just as much about business as they are about love.

But what happens when a business deal disguised as a relationship falls apart?

That’s exactly what’s going on between Love & Hip Hop star Khaotic and Kiyomi Leslie, as their once-public romance has now turned into a messy online battle.

From allegations of emotional manipulation to unpaid work and broken promises, Kiyomi and Khaotic are putting their dirty laundry out for everyone to see.

But while Kiyomi insists that their relationship was never real, Khaotic is out here playing the victim, saying she “broke his heart.”

So who’s telling the truth? Was their entire romance a strategic move for clout, or did feelings actually get involved?

And more importantly—why does this sound exactly like what Scrappy and Shakana went through with Khaotic?

Let’s break it all down.

Khaotic’s Side of the Story: “She Broke My Heart”

Khaotic wasted no time responding to questions about his sudden split from Kiyomi. According to him, there’s no bad blood, but they just weren’t meant to be together.

“I want y’all to know that it ain’t really nothing going on with me and Ki. It’s no beef, no drama, nothing like that. We was dating, we was courting. We was trying to see if we could become a thing… and we just didn’t become a thing.”

Khaotic went on to say that he had real feelings for Kiyomi, but she wasn’t emotionally ready for the type of commitment he wanted.

“I was more ready than Kiyomi. She’s been through a lot, and she has a lot going on in her life right now. I can’t make a person be ready just because I’m ready.”

But then, things got weird.

Instead of simply moving on, Khaotic decided to post a video montage of all the women who had ‘broken his heart’—and Kiyomi was the first name on the list.

That’s when Kiyomi decided enough was enough and finally spoke her truth.

Kiyomi Claps Back: “It Was Never Real”

After staying silent for weeks, Kiyomi finally addressed the situation head-on in a YouTube video titled: “Why Me and Khaotic Fell Out: The Truth.”

She made it very clear that their relationship wasn’t real and that they were simply trying to see if something could work.

When that didn’t happen, they tried to pivot into a business partnership—but that didn’t work either.

“We weren’t actually in a relationship. We were just two people seeing if it could work, and it didn’t. Then we tried making money together, and that didn’t work either.”

According to Kiyomi, she had zero romantic intentions, but Khaotic wanted to push a “YouTube couple” narrative for content and revenue.

“He wanted to push the dating narrative because couples do well on YouTube. But I wasn’t looking for anything serious. I was just trying to focus on rebranding myself and building my own YouTube channel.”

This was not what Khaotic wanted to hear—and that’s when things allegedly started to go left.

Unpaid Work & Shady Business Moves

Once the romantic angle failed, Kiyomi says she and Khaotic decided to focus on making money together.

But just like Scrappy and Shakana, she quickly learned that Khaotic doesn’t always pay people for their work.

Kiyomi claims that she filmed and edited at least 10 videos for Khaotic, with the verbal agreement that they would split the profits 50/50.

But when she asked to be paid, Khaotic flat-out refused.

“I texted him and said, ‘Are you going to pay me for the videos I did for you?’ And he said, ‘No. I’m keeping my money, and you’re keeping yours. And we’re just not going to speak to each other.’”

Kiyomi was understandably furious, especially since Khaotic was still using the videos to make money on his channel.

His excuse?

His assistant told Kiyomi that she hadn’t completed a full 30-day filming cycle, so she had “breached the contract”—even though there was never a contract to begin with.

“The only agreement we had was that I’d get 50% of the revenue from each video. That’s it. There was nothing about a full 30 days.”

To make things even more insulting, Khaotic allegedly told Kiyomi that if she filmed with him for another 15 days, he’d consider paying her.

“So now I have to do another 15 days of unpaid work just to maybe get paid for the last month? Hell no.”

That’s when Kiyomi cut ties completely—blocked him on everything—and decided to expose him.

Déjà Vu? Scrappy & Shakana Went Through the Same Thing

For those who have been keeping up with Khaotic’s business dealings, this situation sounds very familiar.

Both Scrappy and Shakana have also accused Khaotic of shady business practices, claiming that he convinced them to collaborate on YouTube videos, only to keep all the profits for himself.

Scrappy once revealed that he did 12 videos for Khaotic and was paid less than $5,000, even though those same videos made over $20,000.

Shakana also spoke out about how Khaotic used her name and platform to grow his YouTube channel, promising her a cut of the profits—which she never received.

At this point, too many people have the same complaint, and it’s looking like Khaotic has a pattern of exploiting people for free labor.
