Sometime during their break, he was accused of cheating with a woman named Kristina Askerova, claiming that she was his stylist when they was seen by fans in Brooklyn, New York.
He then claimed online that they were just friends, and encouraged everyone to stop listening to the rumors.

With that discovery, he deleted all of his online comments, while Kristina set all of her profiles to private. He mentioned that she was his cousin, but only recently connected with her online according to fans who went to investigate.
