As a result of the comparison and in an effort to end it, Yerkky Yerkky ordered viewers to stop comparing him to a “dead n—a.” Speaking further, he said, “What the f–k? Y’all keep comparing to an n—a that’s dead.”

However, Yerkky Yerkky’s comments were swiftly criticized by Jackson’s followers, who viewed his comments as disrespectful. Taking to X, a user wrote, “O hell, nahh, we don’t play about Cameron Boyce at all.” Additionally, another user wrote, “Don’t you ever disrespect Cameron Boyce!”

Between 2011 and 2015, Skai Jackson and Cameron Boyce worked as co-stars on the four-season series “Jessie.” Jackson and Boyce were cast as siblings on the Disney Channel series. However, in 2019, their friendship came to an end after Boyce died at the age of 20 following an epileptic attack in his sleep.

Who Is Skai Jackson Dating?

Skai Jackson is dating Yerkky Yerkky, whose real name is Deondre Burgin. In an Instagram post, Jackson revealed that she and Yerkky Yerkky are engaged and expecting their first child together. Although Jackson has kept the facts of her relationship with Yerkky Yerkky private, a now-deleted video suggests the two started dating in December 2023.

For most of 2024, Jackson has quietly announced her lover via social media such as Snapchat, but the precise post remains unknown. In response to one of @Hotteanchitchat’s videos, a user explained how the actress met Yerkky Yerkky. According to the user, Jackson met Yerkky Yerkky while detained in an Ohio juvenile detention facility.

How Long Has Skai Jackson Been Dating Deondre Burgin?

According to reports, Deondre Burgin and Skai Jackson began dating in December 2023. However, the actress did not make an official announcement until August 2024 following an assault issue. According to rumors, Jackson met Yerkky Yerkky while in juvenile detention. It was reported that the pair wrote to one another while he was in jail, and she bailed him out. 

POLL—Should Laws Be Enacted To Protect LGBTQ+ Individuals From Workplace Discrimination?

According to sources, Burgin has at least three extra children from separate moms. Burgin’s sexuality and allegiance were called into question when an unnamed TikTok user warned him to “tell the truth before I do” regarding his rumored connection with the ex-convict. The speculations gained steam after an Instagram gossip account uploaded the video.

However, further comments refuted the accusations, claiming the TikToker was merely spilling rumors for “clout.” On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, the 22-year-old Disney Channel alumna announced that she and Yerkky Yerkky are expecting their first child together.

Skai Jackson said, “I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life, embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!”

Was Skai Jackson Arrested for Fighting With Her Boyfriend?

In August 2024, security footage showed Skai Jackson and her boyfriend in a violent confrontation, which put her in the news. According to the surveillance footage, Jackson purportedly pushed Yerkky Yerkky twice during the altercation. Following Skai Jackson’s arrest and citation, she was released a few hours after being booked for minor domestic assault.

Despite the public outrage, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stated that no charges were brought. The event brought further scrutiny after Jackson revealed she was engaged to Yerkky Yerkky. During the arrest, the actress reportedly admitted to police that she was pregnant, something she didn’t officially confirm until November 2024.

What Is Skai Jackson’s Boyfriend’s Name?

Despite her initial silence over the father of her unborn kid, Skai Jackson has now revealed the name of her boyfriend, Deondre Burgin. In a now-deleted Facebook post, Burgin, also known as Yerkky Yerkky, appeared to declare his single status after ridiculing the former “Jessie” star.

In the deleted post, Yerkky Yerkky wrote, “On wopp, I’m salty. I got this dumb a*s Disney Channel b**** pregnant. I hate this h*e.” However, Jackson and her mother, Kiya Cole, asserted that Burgin did not compose the message and that his account was compromised.

On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, Skai Jackson’s boyfriend, Deondre Burgin, was arrested in Cincinnati, Ohio, for trying to avoid arrest against his parole, just a day after Jackson announced her pregnancy.
