Fans began mocking Ortega when they thought that Cortez and Costa were an item, leading to an angry Ortega tweeting about his relationship with Cortez.
Everyone out here talking bout I fumbled. Y’all must not know the rules of the game. When you drop the ball on accident that’s a fumble , but when you throw it away on purpose. That’s called a complete pass . Top G shit!

Even Cortez had to respond to the rumors after Ortega took a shot at her.
Let me just say that to this day, I’ve yet to say anything negative about you or bash your name! Don’t start throwing shade now 😂😂 I’m blessed 🙏🏽😌#MoveWithLove 🫶🏽
