Who Is Jayda Cheaves?

Cheaves was already an established and successful businesswoman when she met the rapper --and she was just 21. By then, she'd been in business for six years. The firebrand started her own business at the age of fifteen.

In high school, Cheaves had a job as a waitress, and when she was fired, she decided that from that moment on, she would be her own boss. She was determined to prove herself to her grandmother.

Cheaves started by creating a line of T-shirts, "A'mour Hustle." that sold like hotcakes. The problem was that Cheaves had the product but not the capital to finance it, so she had to "hustle" and convince suppliers to let her pay after sales, not on delivery. To dedicate herself to her business, Cheaves graduated early, and she's never looked back.

She quickly expanded into hair products and ended up employing her grandmother, her mother, and her sister to help her and sending her dad to China to source quality hair for switches. With over 7 million followers on Instagram, Cheaves' "Waydamin" loungewear line is a sell-out success.

Her sister persuaded Cheaves to move from Savannah to Atlanta, Georgia, where the romance blossomed. Cheaves and the rapper had already exchanged DMs, but things moved to the next level in Atlanta. Cheaves revealed:

"We finally crossed paths when I moved to Atlanta and we just started vibing."

But the romance was on a rocky road from early on, with rumors of the rapper's infidelities plaguing the couple. The birth of their son, Loyal, didn't end the allegations.

The rapper was first said to have cheated with the mother of his first child, but later rumors linked him to an adult film star. The talk devastated Cheaves, who had spoken about supporting Lil Baby "no matter what." But it seems there was too much wear-and-tear on the relationship in the long run.

The couple indicated in March 2022 that the romance was over, but fans refuse to believe it. The couple has split and kissed and made up so many times that they expect them to reconnect. Lil Baby said:

"Even if we not in a relationship like boyfriend and girlfriend type [expletive], we got a relationship because we got a kid."

Jayda Now Focuses on her Brand and Raising Her Son

The romance is over, but Cheaves's life is on track. She is a busy woman with a grueling schedule and a child to raise. Like any other working mother, she has to balance her priorities.

Cheaves counts on her mother to help her with little Loyal and every spare second of her day she spends with her son. She revealed:

"My entire schedule goes to my baby. I don't want him to notice that mommy's not around."

She even has a bed in her office so Loyal can nap when he goes to work with her. Loyal has inspired an addition to Cheaves' brand, a series of children's books in which he is the main character. Jayda Cheaves is busy shaking up the world, which means being a great mom too.
