Skai Jackson, a Former Disney star, has confirmed she is pregnant. While this isn’t necessarily crazy or shocking, the controversy surrounding the father of her baby is stirring up the internet.

Skai Jackson’s baby daddy is confirmed to be Deondre Burgin, or “Yerkky Yerkky,” as he is known on social media. Recently, Yerkky has gotten himself into a bunch of trouble.

On November 12, Yerkky posted on his Facebook, 

“On wopp im salty i got this dumb a** disney channel bi**h pregnant, i hate this h*e”. 

Now, Yerky claims he was hacked, and he did not write the message. But people online are unconvinced, and they’re all wondering, what on earth is Skai doing?

Skai was quick to defend her man on Instagram, backing his claims that his account had been hacked.

As if that wasn’t troubling enough, the following day after his Facebook was supposedly “hacked,” Deondre was arrested for violating his parole. Two officers detained him and arrested him for “misdemeanor obstruction of official business.” He has since been released.

This is all coming to light after three months ago, Skai Jackson herself was arrested and charged with domestic battery. She was detained at the Universal theme park after being caught pushing a man on surveillance. 

It is unclear whether or not Yerkky is the man she allegedly got into an altercation with, but considering the timeline it is likely.  

Yerkky also took to Facebook live after all of this and spoke about Skai’s former co-star Cameron Boyce. Cameron passed away in 2019 suddenly from a seizure. He and Skai worked together for years on the set of Jessie and allegedly had a very close relationship. 

Yerkky said in his live, “stop comparing me to a dead n—a…What the f–k?…Y’all keeping comparing me to a n—a that’s dead.”

Many people were upset by this comment and found it to be distasteful and disrespectful to Cameron. Skai Jackson has not commented on her boyfriend’s statements, which has only led to more public discourse.

Now that her boyfriend has been revealed to the public, it has only caused bad publicity and controversy for the ex-Disney actress. All of us are on the edge of our seats for the next piece of drama that comes from the couple.
