According to The Shade Room, Leslie Holden is the real name of Moss’ ex-girlfriend, Kiyomi Leslie. Holden and Moss dated for several months, and they documented their relationship on GUHHATL. The couple got pregnant during their relationship, but Holden suffered a miscarriage three months into her pregnancy. Shad and Holden split in the fall of 2018, and Moss explained the reason behind their split during a scene with his mom, Teresa Caldwell, that aired in December 2018.

“It’s killing me the fact that I can’t handle business without her thinking something, I can’t shoot a video with a girl without her thinking something. ‘Next time you come in at 5 a.m. it’s a problem,'” he told his mom during an episode of GUHHATL.

“Me and Leslie have tried to work this thing out so many times. It’s like, where do we go from here? What are we doing? I wasn’t acting like this before I met her,” he continued. “This situation is just too toxic, the arguing and me having to fight over her trust when I’ve never given her a reason to not trust. It’s become a problem being with her. I’m done. It’s over.”

Before his arrest, the Atlanta native had been promoting his mother’s
pop-up shop for her online boutique, Taste, which took place over Super Bowl weekend.
