Tasha K Sparks Fresh Uproar with Retracted Claims Involving Teyana Taylor – Rumors, Retractions, and Online Backlash

Gossip blogger and YouTuber Tasha K has once again found herself at the epicenter of celebrity drama, this time over unverified health rumors targeting multi-talented star Teyana Taylor. In late January 2026, Tasha K went live on her platforms, initially amplifying a tip from an anonymous gossip page alleging that Taylor was dealing with a serious medical condition—widely speculated online as HIV. The claims quickly spiraled across social media, pulling Taylor’s name into a firestorm of speculation and debate. However, just days later, Tasha K walked back the statements after the source claimed their account was hacked, issuing a clarification that she did not originate the rumor and urging caution against misinformation.

The controversy erupted during one of Tasha K’s signature livestreams, where she discussed Hollywood whispers. According to viral clips, she referenced a “code red revelation” about Taylor’s personal life, hinting at a “medical secret” that allegedly affected her relationships and career. Sources like YouTube videos titled “Tasha K EXPOSES Teyana Taylor’s explosive Secret — This Is Serious” and “Tasha K Exposes H!V Secret Linked to Teyana Taylor — This Is BAD!” captured her commentary, framing it as part of broader industry exposés. Tasha alleged the information came from a reliable tipster, but emphasized it was hearsay. No concrete evidence, such as medical documents or direct testimonies, was provided, leading to immediate backlash for potentially harmful speculation.

This isn’t Tasha K’s first brush with such allegations; she has a history of bold celebrity takedowns, including past feuds with Cardi B that resulted in lawsuits. In this case, the rumors echo earlier unsubstantiated claims from figures like Jaguar Wright and Charleston White, who have similarly accused Taylor of concealing health issues tied to high-profile romances, including with ex-husband Iman Shumpert and current partner Aaron Pierre. Tasha K’s involvement amplified the narrative, with posts on Facebook and Instagram reeling in millions of views. One Instagram reel from Tasha herself exposed the gossip page and proved she didn’t start the HIV rumors, stating, “I absolutely adore [Teyana],” while distancing herself from the origins.

Social media reactions have been swift and divided. On X (formerly Twitter), users like @addshawn highlighted the absurdity: “A random page told Tasha K that @TEYANATAYLOR had HIV… Days later, that random page tells Tasha K that they were hacked, so now Tasha K is walking back the Teyana Taylor HIV claims. You cannot make this stuff up.” Fans expressed outrage, with comments like “I ❤️❤️❤️ Tasha but some gossip should land in your ear and not be repeated from your mouth…I pray it goes away,” reflecting concerns over family impact and career damage. Others demanded accountability, calling for lawsuits and labeling the spread as reckless. Hashtags such as #TeyanaTaylor and #TashaK trended, with skeptics pointing to AI-generated fakes and hacked accounts fueling the chaos.
