Rapper and actress Kash Doll has confirmed her breakup with NFL defensive lineman Za’Darius Smith. The news was announced on August 10, 2025, when Kash Doll posted on X (formerly Twitter), explaining that the decision was mutual. Za’Darius Smith later quietly acknowledged the split on Instagram, simply stating, “Single.”
Kash Doll shared that the breakup stemmed from personal differences, writing, “At this point of my life, I just need to be single… Zadarius a great guy but we can’t see eye to eye and with all due respect we decided to part ways.” She also emphasized her focus on mental health and taking a break from social media, adding, “I’m giving the internet a break also so I’m done with y’all too right now.” In a separate post, she highlighted the importance of self-care, saying, “Mental health is real….U gotta make sure everyone around you means well.”
The couple had previously drawn public attention earlier this year when Kash Doll revealed that Smith preferred her natural look, saying he did not want her to wear makeup. This sparked debate online, with some suggesting controlling behavior, while others viewed it as mutual comfort and respect. Despite public interest, neither Kash Doll nor Smith engaged in conflict or drama over the relationship.
While navigating this personal change, Kash Doll continues to build her acting career. She recently joined the third season of the legal drama Reasonable Doubt as Nisha, a sharp assistant to the lead character Jax Stewart, with filming currently underway in Atlanta. She has previously earned praise for her role as Monique in Starz’s BMF and appeared on Empire.
