This week, Ben Simmons was trending on Twitter for apparently being in a relationship with IG model Amani. The model apparently released proofs of being together with the 76ers star, which show various Snapchat messages as well. As per the reports, Amani has been claiming that she has been spending time with Simmons for some time now. 

The video shared by the model is of a message sent on snap, where Simmons talks about booking a flight, and calling Amani while he was apparently at The Ritz. Furthermore, the account on IG also linked the model to other celebrities like rapper Lil Baby, Tre Songz and Fabolous.

However, people also questioned the authenticity of the proofs. As per one user on Instagram, there is no face in the conversations, which cannot be trusted. These days, as fake social media generators are being widely used, many proofs can also not be trusted. Some comments made were also transphobic, even misgendering the model. 

On Twitter, people mostly seemed confused about the situation. "Ben Simmons my goodness," one user wrote, while some simply shared gifs. Another user seemed confused as to why one would brag about such a thing, questioning the authenticity of the proofs. Another user refused to believe the claims made by Amani, adding that sometimes people do anything for clout.
