Football stars spend a lot of time in the spotlight. That means every play — and every misstep — gets magnified. But the constant attention doesn’t stop at the sidelines. It often creeps into their private lives, too.
With players serving as role models and celebrities, fans naturally take an interest in who they’re dating. And for Malik Nabers, fresh off an electric rookie season, that spotlight is only getting brighter. A recent off-camera moment involving the wide receiver has people talking.

Now, in one of the rapper’s latest Instagram appearances, we may have some confirmation about the two’s involvement. Latto could be heard saying something along the lines of, “Is that Malik?” looking directly behind her friend.

As he started to add what suspiciously sounded like “Babe,” she realized her mistake, immediately cutting herself off with a hand to her mouth before repeating, “Don’t say nothing” thrice.
Entering the limelight courtesy of “The Rap Game” reality television series, she won the first season of the popular contest before finding immediate success with her double platinum 2019 single. Since then, she’s gone from strength to strength, releasing multiple albums over the years.
So far in her career, she’s won two BET Awards and a Billboard Music Award while receiving two Grammy nominations. She’s also famously caught the eye of Nabers, who is starting to build his career on the gridiron as well.
After an excellent collegiate career where he broke the LSU Tigers’ all-time rookie receiving yard record, Nabers was taken with the sixth overall pick by the New York Giants. Even with the franchise in shambles and quarterback Daniel Jones cut midway through the year, the wide receiver had an excellent season individually.
Tallying 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns, he broke the Giants’ franchise record for receptions while setting the NFL’s all-time rookie receptions record at 109. He also became the youngest player to score multiple touchdowns in a game, achieving the feat at just 21 years and 56 days old.
Now, with a more stable quarterback room featuring Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart waiting in the wings, Nabers will only be hoping to rise to greater heights from here. And if social media is correct, he’s going to have one of the most famous rappers in the world cheering him on.
