Deandre Ayton was one of the most promising players in the NBA when he was selected as the No.1 overall pick by the Suns in the 2018 NBA Draft. Deandre was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers just before this season commenced. Apart from his on-court skills, Deandre has been in and out of the dating scene, which has created quite a mess over the years.

In August of this year, Deandre hit the spotlight again, confirming his relationship with Katt Leya, an adult film actress. Their relationship hit the rocks when Katt publicly announced Deandre’s infidelity, hinting at their breakup. Leya recently took to Instagram to throw shade at the 25-year-old center.

In the short clip, she is seen lip-syncing to one of Kanye West’s iconic lines from a Joe Rogan interview, “I just tell the truth and telling the truth is crazy in a world full of lies.” The story of Leya and Deandre dates back to 2019, which has been confirmed by an Instagram post Leya shared of a picture of herself and Deandre at a Portland dinner table in December 2019. This does not add up because Deandre had a child with his long-time girlfriend, Anissa Evans, in 2021.
