Singer Bebe Rexha has taken to Instagram to share a text message she received criticizing her for gaining 35 pounds. The message appears to be from her boyfriend, cinematographer Keyan Safyari.

The 33-year-old star, who recently climbed the charts with her track "I'm Good (Blue)" with David Guetta, posted a screenshot of the message to her Instagram story Sunday.

The lengthy message, which was originally spotted by Pop Crave, explained that the sender wanted to be "honest" with Rexha about her weight.

"I always said I would be honest with you and your face was changing so I told you it was…that was the conversation we were having and you asked," the message said.

Insider was not able to independently verify the source of the text message. Representatives for neither Rexha nor Safyari immediately responded to Insider's requests for comment.

The message went on to say: "Should I pretend it didn't happen and that it's ok? Come on I gain 3 pounds and you call me chubbs and fat. Doesn't mean you don't love me."

"If you're trying to find reasons to break up this makes sense," the sender continued.

"If you're unhappy with me/yourself/with life and don't see a future with us then that's ok and that's the reason. Don't use something like that to weaponize your anger or anxiety or any insecurity you may have," they added. "You know I have always found you to be beautiful and loved you no matter what."

Rexha recently called out Twitter users for shaming her over her weight, saying that she's "sick" of people commenting on it.

During a May appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show," Rexha attributed her weight gain to a polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis.

"It's one of the leading causes of why women gain weight and are obese. I literally jumped, like, 30 pounds so quickly, maybe a little bit more. But we gotta just be positive and just show people love," Rexha told Hudson.

The text comes just weeks after Rexha made headlines when a fan threw a phone at her face during a concert, which left her needing stitches after the incident.
