Za’Darius Smith chose to keep his announcement low-key. His simple “Single” post on Instagram Story confirmed the split without adding further details. The parting seems respectful, focusing on individual growth rather than conflict.
While Kash Doll navigates this personal change, her acting career is on the rise.

Filming is currently underway in Atlanta, exciting fans of both her music and acting.
This is not Kash Doll’s first acting role. She previously earned praise for her role as Monique in Starz’s BMF and appeared on Empire.
