Kayko appears to have a crush on somebody, but who is she?
AI top 10 contestant Kayko, who introduced himself as ‘Alt-Pop Music Boy,’ often addresses relationship matters in his songs, which are more likely to signify his relationship history.
On January 5, 2023, he shared a video singing a song that said, “It’s been about a year since my gf and i broke up, I guess she’s my ex now that’s still weird. It was one of the hardest times in my life, no doubt. But honestly, as a songwriter, i’m grateful to her allowing me to write some fire songs.”
Well, whatever he sings may or may not have a literal meaning in his life, as the singer’s past romantic life has always remained a mystery.
But, at present, he appears to have a crush on somebody. On February 9, he posted a clip on his Instagram with a text overlay that say, “Showing my bestfriend a song I wrote about my crush,” and captioned it, “hope she approves.”
In the video, his best friend appears to be left in awe while listening to the lyrics, while the commentary section contains several assumptions regarding his crush.
While some claimed that his best friend was his crush, some questioned if it was Abby. His crush has remained an enigma to the world at this moment as he has yet to speak about it openly.
