DeJ Loaf’s keeping it real about her relationship with Jacquees’ soon-to-be wife, Deiondra Sanders, saying there’s no bad blood.
The Detroit rapper broke it down during a Hot 97 chat with Nessa, where she and Jacquees were hyping up Fck a Friend Zone 2*, their new collab project following their 2017 mixtape. This comes after Deiondra, NFL icon Deion Sanders’ daughter, called them out, claiming they were “fake a relationship to [sell] albums.”

When the topic came up, DeJ kept it straight: she’s not trying to mess with their love story.
“I respect people’s relationships,” she told Nessa. “But it’s also like, do y’all respect the friendship? I’ve been out of the picture and I stay out of the picture unless it’s business. [Jacquees and I] don’t even hang out as much and do the cool shit that we used to do… It’s respect.”
DeJ opened up about how Jacquees’ previous girlfriends weren’t feeling her because of their close “bond” and “chemistry.” She mentioned she’s skipping their wedding since she hasn’t linked up with Deiondra yet.
“That ain’t on me,” Jacquees jumped in. “How do I force you to meet somebody?”
“If any of his women feel like they don’t have to respect me, then I don’t have to be his friend,” Dej fired back. “We can end the friendship if my respect is on the line. I won’t be disrespected.”
Jacquees then spoke on Deiondra’s social media drama about him and Dej, chalking it up to her not getting “the entertainment industry.”
“That’s why you see outlashes on the internet… I think she does that probably to be heard or something,” he broke it down. “Of course, I don’t like it, but I try not to indulge in the internet and stuff… I’m passionate about my work and my dream. I want this [project] to be something great because this is an opportunity that we have always wanted. Our first project was a mixtape. We gave it away for free.”
When Nessa brought up why Deiondra couldn’t hit up their “Favorite One” video shoot, the Georgia artist explained that since it’s a joint track, he had to roll with Dej’s comfort level.
“Whatever [Dej] wants to happen on these sets gotta be done,” he laid it out. “It’s nothing to disrespect nobody.”
Catch Fck a Friend Zone 2* dropping on streaming platforms Friday, Feburary 14.
Jacquees and Deiondra became parents in 2024 when they welcomed their little man to the world.
