Summer Walker rolled up to the 2025 MTV VMAs arm-in-arm with a brand-new older white man, and baby, the internet is still catching its breath.
Summer Walker made waves not just with her music but also by showing up on the red carpet alongside a new guy, sparking an online frenzy. Black Twitter wasted no time reacting, doing a double-take at her date, who was noticeably older and, well, white.
The memorable moment unfolded as the camera captured Summer sharing some cotton candy with her date. Their playful interactions didn’t stop there; the two were also seen sharing kisses and posing for the cameras, exuding undeniable chemistry that captivated fans, who quickly dubbed him her “special friend.”
Though his identity remains unverified, social media has affectionately labeled the silver-haired man “older white daddy.” Opinions ran the gamut: one fan excitedly noted, “Summer Walker got her a white sugar daddy, I know that’s right, and he looks happy to be with her,” while another, a bit perplexed, remarked, “Wait, is this Summer Walker? Who is this grandpa? I missed a chapter?”
During a red-carpet interview, the mystery man shared a bit about how they met, revealing it was through a mutual friend. The couple appeared at ease and genuinely enjoyed each other’s company throughout the night, holding hands and posing.
This event marked a significant moment for Summer since her breakup with rapper Rico Recklezz earlier in the year. While she kept the details of their split under wraps, she did post an intriguing message that resonated with followers, sharing a meme that said, “I like being girly and dainty. I don’t like nothing taking me out of that.” Shortly after, she hinted at her single status by posting the iconic Beyoncé lyric, “All the single ladies.”
