- Manon Bannerman of global girl group KATSEYE and rapper The Kid LAROI sparked dating rumors when they were spotted at Sabrina Carpenter’s VMAs after-party in New York.
- After the party, Manon addressed rumors that she’s dating LAROI in a Weverse group chat with fans.
- It seems like Manon and LAROI are just friends, as she declined they were romantically linked.
It’s been a wild couple of days on KATSEYE’s side of the internet. Not only did the girls dominate their performance at the VMAs pre-show, but they won their first-ever Moon Person for MTV PUSH Performance of the Year on Sunday night.
Of course, there was much to celebrate as they touched down at Sabrina Carpenter’s Studio 54-themed after-party…which Manon Bannerman seemingly attended with newly-single rapper, The Kid LAROI, per paparazzi pics.
Per the footage, the pair kept their distance and didn’t really talk to each other, so it was unclear whether they’re actually an item.
However, Manon denied she was dating the “Without You” rapper during a conversation with fans on Weverse. Through her account @Peanutbutterlover02, she wrote, “Also apparently I date everyone i walk next to,” alongside a photo of a job application. (In other words, telling people to get a job before they speculate about her love life. Iconic.)
Before dating rumors with Manon started surfacing, LAROI was romantically linked to Tate McRae—who also attended the VMAs and Sabrina’s after-party—from January 2024 to July 2025. He recently dropped a new track, “A COLD PLAY,” which fans think is inspired by his split with the “Sports Car” singer with lyrics like, “’Cause I still love you, that’s how I feel at my core / Flew different states to come see you in between tour.”
Well, that’s all when it comes to Manon and LAROI...unless the KATSEYE member’s dream collab with him comes true in the near future.
