Former Disney Star Skai Jackson Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby With Her Boyfriend
Skai Jackson's rumored boyfriend is raising eyebrows amid her pregnancy.
Shortly after the Disney Channel alum announced that she pregnant with her first child, Yerkky Yerkky—who many fans believe is Skai's boyfriend and the father of her baby on the way—seemingly threw shade at her late costar Cameron Boyce.
In a recent Facebook Live circulating on social media, the content creator appeared to address comparisons to Cameron, telling viewers to "stop comparing me to a dead n---a."
"What the f--k?" he continued. "Y'all keeping comparing to a n---a that's dead."
Skai and Cameron played siblings on Jessie, which ran for four seasons from 2011 to 2015.
Cameron died in 2019 at age 20 after suffering an epileptic seizure in his sleep.
Skai's fans were quick to call out Yerkky Yerkky's remarks, with one user on X (formerly Twitter) writing, "O hell nahh we don’t play about Cameron Boyce at all."
Another added, "Don’t you ever disrespect cameron boyce!!!"
E! News has reached out to Skai's rep and Yerkky Yerkky for comment but hasn't heard back.
Skai has not publicly addressed Yerkky Yerkky's remarks. However, she did come to his defense earlier this week when his Facebook account published a message reading, "I'm salty I got this Disney Channel chick pregnant."
"His page was hacked!" she wrote on Instagram after the post went viral. "He never said this. End of story."

Her mom Kiya Cole also set the record straight, writing on Instagram, "HE NEVER SAID THIS!!!! Stop being messy!!!"
And Skai has been leaning on her mother amid her pregnancy. After all, the two were recently spotted enjoying a mother-daughter outing together, with Skai baring her baby bump in a crop top.
"She's always kept me humble," Skai told E! News of her mom in April. "I feel like when you have that great support system, you cannot go wrong."
