In a recent controversy surrounding JAY B of GOT7, a fan account sparked concerns by claiming a special relationship with the idol and his family. In response, his agency, mauve company, released a statement addressing the situation.
The controversy originated when a Mexican influencer with a substantial following on TikTok, hinted at a romantic relationship with JAY B. Initially perceived by some fans as a joke, the situation escalated when said online personality asserted herself as the singer’s girlfriend and claimed a close relationship with his parents.

Furthermore, concerns deepened as the influencer disclosed personal encounters with JAY B‘s mother, sharing photos on social media. Because of these instances, fans of the artist became increasingly alarmed when she posted pictures revealing details about the GOT7 leader’s car, seen as a breach of the idol’s privacy.
Other fans then took the initiative to list down the alarming claims made by the TikTok user. In one of her live sessions, this TikTok user admitted that she won’t stop unless she gets the chance to have a personal conversation with JAY B. In other videos, she also kept calling said artist as her boyfriend and husband, and even insisted on calling the idol’s mom as his mother-in-law.

As a fandom we are very worried about what this person could do to our idol. Specially now that she is so close the store of his parents and is a regular customer in there. She has been already accused of being a sasaeng in her social media but always deletes comments- pic.twitter.com/axloVTFHiO
