Last September the rapper gave Jada Kingdom a promise ring which caused an uproar in the dancehall community
THE DS4EVA rapper seemingly proposed to her while visiting Jamaica for a weekend. The rapper presented Jada with a pair of diamond earrings and then got on one knee to propose with a diamond ring.
The two lovebirds were going strong for a year and the GPP artist even took him on a shopping splurged for his 19th birthday in July.
At the time the New York drill rapper was also gifted a matching ring, reportedly costing around U$20,000- U$25,000.
Jada Kingdom and Nas EBK went public in 2022, months after she was seen with Verse Simmonds, who was instrumental in getting her signed to Republic Records last year.
