Jadon Sancho and rapper and singer girlfriend Saweetie have been accused of owing money to her ex-manager. Maybach Mayy took to Instagram to call out Saweetie in a series of posts and has called for reimbursement. Sancho and Saweetie, whose real name is Diamonte Harper, appear to have been dating for some time now after she was spotted in attendance at a Chelsea game last season.

Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea, who agreed to pay a penalty fee of £5m to Manchester United to get out of an obligation to make the move permanent. Sancho managed three goals and four assists for the Blues in the Premier League last season yet they were happy to pay to send the former Borussia Dortmund winger back to Old Trafford.
The 25-year-old started 19 league games for the west London side under Enzo Maresca, one of which was the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, where Sancho was seen running over to Saweetie and hugging her on the touchline during his warm-up. Mayy was also on the touchline for the stalemate with the Cherries, and also spotted hugging Sancho.
However, since then the relationship between Saweetie and Mayy has deteriorated. In a series of explosive social posts, Mayy has accused Saweetie of failing to pay for club hosting appearances during multiple international trips, which includes a visit to Africa earlier this year.

Mayy even goes as far as labelling Sancho a 'client', initially stating: "I want to make one thing clear, I booker her for an appearance to visit the Chelsea stadium and support the soccer team (as my last post shows). Instead of paying me she fell in love with the client and told him not to pay me.
"I was a road manager with her getting her deal. I was solid to this girl. She got what she wanted and never paid me, simple. I want my money!"
Mayy then turned her attention to Sancho, adding: "Sancho you do not get to kick a ball in peace while owing me and still out there tricking, it's all your fault messy little fairy."
Both Saweetie and Sancho, who has the rapper's middle name tattooed under his left ear, have remained silent on the matter so far.

Sancho was linked with a move to Roma over the summer after it became clear he had no future at United. However, a switch to the Italian side fell through and just as it looked as though he'd be resigned to staying at Old Trafford until January at the earliest, he managed to secure a loan move to Aston Villa on deadline day.
The move was a welcome one for Sancho, who has struggled to rediscover his best form since leaving Borussia Dortmund for United in 2021. Even so, Sancho has found minutes hard to come by following his switch to Villa Park last month.
The England international has registered just eight minutes of Premier League action since his move to the Villans, while his only start resulted in an EFL Cup penalty shootout defeat to Brentford. That said, Villa boss Unai Emery has vowed to help Sancho regain his spot in the Three Lions squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Sancho hoping to maintain decent form at Spurs
Sancho, who has been recovering from illness recently, will hope for more minutes when Villa travel to Tottenham on Sunday. Villa make the trip to the capital on a four-game winning streak following their 2-1 win over Burnley prior to the international. Donyell Malen bagged a brace in the home success, though a 78th-minute Lesley Ugochukwu strike set up a nervy finish at Villa Park.
Villa also have a solid record at Spurs having won three of the last five league meetings between the pair in north London. Sancho, too, often turns up when playing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having scored on two of his last three visits to Tottenham.
Thomas Frank's side are unbeaten in seven ahead Sunday's welcome of Villa, though they have won just two of their last five, one of which was against lower league opposition Doncaster in the EFL Cup. Spurs have lost just one game inside 90 minutes in all competitions this season, a defeat that came at home to Bournemouth in August, and have won only three of their last 17 home league matches.
