There's hope for all of us.

Who is Tekashi 6ix9ine's girlfriend? That has been the question on everyone's mind since Sarah Wittley AKA Jade, has made waves in the blog-osphere since going head-to-head with Cardi B. So what happened between these two big personalities?
It takes a strong woman to deal with a man in the entertainment industry — and an even stronger woman to deal with a man in the entertainment industry who's about to be carted off to jail. But that's exactly what the woman known, mononymically, as Jade is going through. Granted, Tekashi 6ix9ine brought a lot of this drama upon himself — who told him to deal with gang members? Nobody, that's who! — but it's still difficult for all the ancillary people, such as his girlfriend, to have to face the proverbial music.
But Jade recently found herself in a bit of a tiff with Cardi B (real name: Belcalis Almanzar). Let's look at what we know about their beef — and what we know about Jade's relationship with the embattled rapper.
1. She started dating him shortly before he was arrested on Federal charges.
While it's unclear how Jade and Tekashi 6ix9ine met, it's clear they began dating shortly before he was arrested for a myriad of federal charges that included racketeering and firearms offenses. As is now widely known, Tekashi 6ix9ine was facing decades behind bars if convicted of the charges, but ultimately struck up a deal that involved a lesser sentence in exchange for "snitching" on his co-conspirators. Since then, he's been sitting in jail awaiting his sentence, and through it all, Jade has stuck by him. She even posted photos on her Instagram of the two of them together, and has dedicated several posts to detailing how "dead" she feels without her love by her side. (Aww. We think.)
2. Jade dyed her hair rainbow colors in support of Tekashi 6ix9ine.
When Tekashi 6ix9ine was locked up on Ffderal charges, Jade went out of her way to support her new boo by dying her hair rainbow colors. (Whatever makes you happy, we guess.) She also started "going hard" in defense of her man, even going so far as to call Meek Mill a "big hater" when the Philadelphia-based rapper called her man a "snitch." (Meek Mill wasn't having it and snapped back at her pretty hard. Yikes.)
3. She came under fire for insinuating about Tekashi 6ix9ine's release date.
About a month ago, Jade took to her Instagram stories to post "31 days," followed by a heart emoji, over a picture of Tekashi 6ix9ine. That led many of his fans to believe that he was going to be released from prison, permanently, in 31 days. That drew backlash from the "Gummo" rapper's fans, who said that it wasn't a good idea to let Tekashi 6ix9ine's "enemies" know when he'll be coming out of jail. (There were also a few people who suggested that Jade was "setting him up," which seems a bit extreme.)
4. Jade claimed that the rapper Offset was "DMing" her.
Whoo. So disrespectful! Jade recently took to Instagram to claim that rapper Offset — he of Migos fame, and Cardi B's dearly beloved husband and baby father — was "DMing" her. (She later deleted the Instagram post.) "Your wife has an open criminal case," she wrote. "Why are you writing me? You don't respect her?"
5. But Cardi B fired back.
If there's one thing we all have learned, it's that you don't come for Cardi B unless she sends for you. And, frankly, Cardi B didn't send for Jade — which is why Cardi B immediately fired back at Jade's claims. In a now-deleted Instagram post that was subsequently posted on Twitter, Cardi B said that her husband's Instagram was "hacked," and therefore, even though Jade thought she got a DM from Offset, she really didn't. (Uh...wait...what?)
6. Jade insinuated that she has more "things" to expose.
Cardi B allegedly ordered a "hit" on Jade for sleeping with Offset back in August 2018. But the outlet also reports that Jade promises to expose other "s***," which insinuates (but doesn't outright state) that she's going to expose more about Offset than she did before.
Whatever the case, it's sure to get messy!
