The tattooed rapper also took to Twitter to share some wise words about unhealthy relationships. “You don’t have to wait for someone to treat you [badly] repeatedly.

In addition to his various relationship status updates, Aaron also changed his Instagram bio to “SINGLE” and later shared a broken heart emoji to his Story. It looks like he wanted to make it very clear he is a free man.

The former couple started dating in January and took things to the next level in March when Aaron debuted his new tattoo of Melanie’s name. Around the same time, they joined social media website OnlyFans, an app which is most popularly used to produce and share adult content for subscribers. Since their split, Aaron has gone solo on the account changing the handle from @aaronandmelanie to @aaroncarter. While Aaron can delete their pictures on social media, he will always have his tattoo for remembrance.
