Months after Rao confirmed their breakup, RiceGum threw a shade at his ex-girlfriend through a Twitch stream in April 2020. The 24-year-old claimed that the content creator never supported him in his endeavors and referred to her as "clingy."
Rao quickly responded to the derogating comments through an Instagram Story. "I just want to start crying honestly," she said before mentioning that he was the one who spurred their estrangement.
The Instagram model also opened up about the issues through a confessional on her YouTube channel in April 2020.
"I don't even wanna be filming this video really. I am sad that this is the way that I am starting my channel...," she said at the beginning of the video.
Then she blamed Twitch for their separation. Rao recounted how RiceGum would hold live streams with other girls and talk about things that made her feel uncomfortable. She noted that the YouTuber mistook her discomfort as unsupportive.
Clarifying that she sidelined her career for her relationship, Rao remarked she was glad she broke up with RiceGum.
