While Becky seemed to have nothing but love for his ex-boyfriend, Hollywood Life pointed out that their recent tweets proved otherwise. In January 7, Becky tweeted, “Honestly I can’t be mad … I may have to tip my hat.” The outlet speculated that the singer may just be trying to throw some shade at Austin and his new girlfriend.
Interestingly, Mahone soon tweeted, “Don’t be sad that it’s over, be happy that it happened.” Becky G, however, had to have the last word and tweeted, “Throwing shade like its sunny.”
