The Kid Laroi responds rumours that he's split with long-term girlfriend Katarina Deme - and if he's started dating his own fans since the split
The Kid Laroi recently sparked break-up rumours with girlfriend Katarina Deme after three years of dating.
The Australian rapper, 19, real name Charlton Howard, remained coy when asked about the split on Friday.
Laroi was quizzed by KIIS FM radio host Kyle Sandilands on The Kyle and Jackie O Show with Kyle asking, 'I heard you're single'.
The singer simply replied 'thanks' when Kyle wished him well in recovering from the split.
He was then asked if he was having 'sex with fans' and Laroi laughed and replied, 'no, no'.

In August, the pop star conspicuously deleted all photos of the American glamour model, 19, from his Instagram feed and no longer follows any other accounts including Katarina's page.
Tellingly, Laroi uploaded an Instagram post telling his fans that he'd been dealing with troubling times.
'I'm sorry I've been a bit silent. Been going through a lot recently,' the cryptic post began.
'I'm good but I've just needed space to focus on processing my feelings & work. Here to let you know that a lot of videos have been shot these past couple weeks, I shot the album cover & I'm working with the label to get you a date,' he continued.

Laroi also took to Instagram Stories with a mirror selfie of himself wearing a T-shirt that read 'F*CK LOVE'
'I also added more songs to the record. It's done though. I love you. Thanks for staying with me.'
The So Done singer accompanied his post with several grainy photos of himself at on a mountain staring moodily into the distance.

Katarina hasn't deleted photos of Laroi from her own feed and still follows the hitmaker - but hasn't uploaded a picture of him since February.
If the couple have split, Laroi certainly has some famous friends to lean on.

Just last week, a downcast Laroi was also spotted in Los Angeles smoking and taking a stroll with pal Justin Bieber - who appeared to be comforting him.
Split rumours began circulating late last month after fans noticed neither Laroi nor Katarina had acknowledged their three-year anniversary on Instagram.
The young couple were last pictured together in May during an outing in New York City.
In the photos, Laroi appeared to be trying his best to cheer up Katarina by kissing her hand and planting a smooch on her cheek.
Katarina seemingly struggled to crack a smile and chose not to look at her beau.
The sighting came days after Laroi was pictured looking at diamond engagement rings at a Tiffany & Co. store in Los Angeles.
The Sydney-born musician said in March last year the couple was already talking marriage despite their young age.

'We're just taking life how it goes. But sure, I would love to get married to Kat one day,' the Without You star told Vogue Australia at the time.
During an earlier interview with The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Laroi revealed how he first met his girlfriend.
The Indigenous Australian hip-hop star said he never expected to fall in love so young, but did so soon after relocating from Sydney to LA, where Katarina is based.
'We met through a mutual friend that I had when I came around here,' he said.
'Around the time that I met her, I just put out the whole F*ck Love project and was not in the vibe of love. But you can't control that type of stuff. It was so ironic.'
