LOOK: Puka Nacua Name Grabs Spotlight As IG Model Queen Jay Goes Bold With Rams WR Playoff Tribute

Puka Nacua seems to have got the attention of a special someone, according to influencer Queen Jay’s latest posts. The model flaunted her curves in several pictures, and highlighted her derriere with Nacua’s name printed across the back of her pants.

The model also shared several clips of herself cheering on the Rams, with special emphasis on the wide receiver. From here, it looks like Queen Jay is pretty eager to get Nacua’s attention, especially since the wide-out seems to be single after splitting up with ex-girlfriend Hallie Aiono.

“pLAyoff bound,” Queen Jay wrote in her Instagram post.

Puka Nacua has been in the news for a mix of good and bad reasons. While he and Aiono seemed to be tight for a pretty long time, the wide-receiver landed in some controversy when his ex-girlfriend filed a paternity suit and also asked for full custody of their child. Aiono gave birth a couple of months back and Nacua was seen in one of the pictures visiting his son in the hospital.

With Nacua reportedly not seeing anyone right now, it looks like Queen Jay is trying her best to get his eyes on her. Meanwhile, fans are simply waiting on the sidelines to see how everything works out for the wide-out.

Puka Nacua Calls Taylor Swift Cursed

On another note, Puka Nacua made some enemies when he called out Taylor Swift for apparently being a curse for the Chiefs. Nacua appeared in a Twitch livestream with Adin Ross and N3on where he spoke about several things, including bad calls by refs in the league. Nacua also discussed KC not making it to the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade and wondered if Taylor Swift was actually a curse for them.

“I mean, they didn’t have Rashee Rice, who’s their other receiver this year. I don’t feel like they ran the ball well. Pacheco was their running back, right? I don’t feel like he played really good. It’s got to be the Swift curse or something like that. I don’t know…after they ran out of a little bit of the juice,” Puka Nacua said.

Swifties are yet to take notice of Puka Nacua’s comments about their icon, but a wave of backlash against the wide-out is definitely soon to come. Meanwhile, Chiefs fans will have to wait for another year to see their team hopefully make it to the playoffs.
