Actress Skai Jackson's alleged baby daddy and boyfriend, who goes by Yerkky Yerkky on Facebook, recently went viral after he dissed late actor Cameron Boyce during a November 13 live session on the platform. He claimed how he was “smoking on his pack” after various people seemingly told him he bore a resemblance to the Everything star.
"Y'all, stop comparing me to a dead n**ga though. The f*ck, is y'all cool? Like what the f*ck, is y'all cool? Y'all keep comparing me to a n**ga that's dead," Yerkky Yerkky said.
Cameron Boyce, who was Jackson’s co-star in the Disney Channel comedy series Jessie, passed away at the age of 20 in July 2019 from an epileptic seizure.
In the wake of this, reports also emerged that Yerkky Yerkky, whose real name is Deondre Burgin as per BCK Online, was recently taken into custody. Subsequently, his alleged mugshot also surfaced online.
The brand-new developments came two days after Jackson announced her pregnancy during an exclusive interview with People Magazine, published on November 12.
So far, 22-year-old Skai Jackson hasn’t commented on her alleged baby daddy/ boyfriend’s alleged arrest. The reason behind it also remains undisclosed at the time of writing.
Skai Jackson was arrested earlier this year
On Tuesday, Skai Jackson announced she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend. She told People Magazine:
“I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!”
She also shared her photos flaunting her baby bump. While she didn’t reveal the identity of her baby daddy, Facebook user Yerkky Yerkky claimed he was the baby's father, however, he wasn't happy about it.
"On wopp im salty i got this dumb a*s Disney Chanel b*tch pregnant I hate this h*e,” he wrote.
Amid this, influencer Tasha K reshared the post. However, both Skai Jackson and her mother Kiya Cole took to the comments and defended the man. They claimed that the account was hacked and wasn't the doing of the father of her child.
Two days later on November 14, a 54-second clip surfaced online and garnered severe traction.
The Facebook Live video allegedly showed Skai Jackson's baby daddy being chased by two cops on the pavement and later getting handcuffed while resisting arrest. Later, his alleged mugshot also became viral.
It showed a red-headed youth wearing a sky-blue t-shirt and biting his lips, with his tatted arms visible. The letters OTF were written across them. OTF or Only The Family happens to be a record label founded by rapper Lil Durk, which is suspected to have ties to street gang-related activities.
Notably, Lil Durk himself was arrested in late October in connection to the murder-for-hire plot against Atlanta rapper Quando Rondo, which ended up killing the latter's cousin and associate, Saviay'a Robinson, aka Lul Pab. Whether the two cases are connected remains unclear.
Meanwhile, reports of Skai Jackson’s pregnancy first emerged in August 2024 when she was arrested for suspected domestic battery, following a fight with her boyfriend. But no charges were filed and she was later released.
The actress is set to next appear in the film The Man in the White Van in the role of Patty. It will hit theatres on December 13.
