In the text message, which Rexha posted to her Instagram Stories, Safyari allegedly says that Rexha “gained 35 pounds obviously you gained weight and your face changes?” He then goes on to say that he “always said I would be honest with you” and that he “cares” about her.
Rexha responded to the text message by saying that she was “not trying to find reasons to break up” and that she was “unhappy with me/myself/with life and don’t see a future with us.”
She also said that she was “not going to pretend” that she didn’t gain weight, but that she was “still beautiful and loved.”

Some people have said that Safyari was simply being honest with Rexha and that he was trying to help her. Others have said that his comments were hurtful and insensitive.
