The two hit a bumpy road in February 2021, after Nessa Barrett released her song "La Di Die" featuring Hossler. Fans began to suspect something was amiss after Lewis and Hossler unfollowed each other on social media shortly after the song went live.
Mads alleged that Jaden and Nessa got together while he was still in a relationship, and she posted a now-deleted TikTok about the drama. The clip went viral almost instantly, racking up views across fan-repost pages.
The Call Her Daddy episode
Mads appeared on the April 14 episode of Call Her Daddy, where she told host Alex Cooper her full side of the story. A tearful Mads said she "found out this morning that Jaden liked Nessa" and that she had a "gut feeling" about the two, discovering voice messages about Nessa from Jaden's manager on his iPad.
The fallout spread beyond Jaden and Mads. The drama surrounding Nessa Barrett, Josh Richards, Jaden Hossler, and Mads Lewis became a four-way love quadrant that shocked the TikTok community.
