Then, they started dating but things didn’t work out and the relationship ended quickly. Some time later, Dome started dating Kevlex, and to avoid problems and misunderstandings Rod stayed away. However, the rumors between Dome and Rod continued to affect the relationship with Kevlex. Kevlex sent indirects and other comments to Rod. Finally, the problem exploded when a user uploaded an edited video with Rod’s words, making it appear that he was referring to Domelipa.
