The couple’s relationship has been under public scrutiny for some time. In March 2022, Hunter and Lenee officially announced their relationship, and by February 2023, they were engaged.
Despite their efforts to maintain a healthy front, they’ve faced several controversies.
One notable incident involved a fake screenshot that appeared to show Lenee commenting on an Instagram post by NBA star Anthony Edwards.
Rapper Bow Wow fell for the hoax and publicly advised Hunter to be cautious.
In 2020, private messages allegedly sent by Leanna Lenee to another man surfaced online, intensifying the scrutiny surrounding their relationship.
These screen recordings shared on X suggested flirtatious exchanges that have again made fans question her loyalty.
Critics have used this as ammunition to label Lenee as unfaithful, while her supporters argue that the messages could be fabricated or taken out of context.

Former NFL player Nate Burleson commented that the couple’s negative attention is partly due to their sharing on social media, suggesting increased visibility invites scrutiny.
