Ari Fletcher says she is fasting during the Holy month in support of Moneybagg Yo, opening up about the experience in real time.
The reality star and entrepreneur shared her decision publicly, explaining that she is observing Ramadan alongside her longtime partner as part of his Islamic faith.
During a recent livestream, Ari spoke candidly about her first day of fasting from sunrise to sundown. While she appeared committed to the practice, she did not sugarcoat the challenge. “Y’all, I’m so f*cking hungry… I got a meeting, and I’m going to go into this meeting angry as hell, mad,” she told viewers, keeping her tone unfiltered and honest.
Moneybagg Yo, born Demario DeWayne White Jr., converted to Islam in 2018 and took his Shahada with rapper Kevin Gates. He has credited the faith with giving him discipline, focus, and resilience in his career. The Memphis rapper observes Ramadan each year and prays five times a day; Ari has now chosen to support this practice by fasting alongside him.
The couple has been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2019, and Ari’s decision to join him during Ramadan quickly sparked conversation online. Some fans questioned whether she should be covering her hair while fasting, while others defended her effort to stand beside her partner. One commenter wrote that it was “real love,” while another debated whether fasting from sunrise to sunset was a genuine spiritual gesture or a performative act. Others praised her loyalty, framing it as ride-or-die energy.
Ari has not framed her participation as a religious conversion but rather as an act of support. As Ramadan continues, she appears determined to complete the fast each day despite acknowledging the difficulty.
Her openness about the hunger and mood swings has added a relatable layer to the conversation, placing a personal spotlight on how couples navigate faith and commitment.
