What happened between Teyana and Leo in the viral video
Last month, everyone wanted to know what the tea was between the two after the actors were seen chatting animatedly at the event.
As they spoke, Leo placed his hand on Tey's lower back. The actress also wrapped her arms around DiCaprio's neck while dancing. Teyana appeared to be playing in his hair as they looked into each other's eyes as they spoke. They also whispered in each other's ears. Social media said the behavior was “more than just friends.”

After the clip surfaced, rumors quickly began circulating that Taylor, who is currently divorcing Iman Shumpert, was dating the legendary bachelor. Sources close to the mother of two said it was just an innocent conversation, but social media isn't buying it.
Now the “Lowkey” singer has confirmed to The Rundown that she was simply helping the Oscar winner with his mane.
Teyana told the outlet: “Leo wore extensions for the film and they hurt him. I literally helped him with his bun.”
Additionally, Taylor said the conversation was harmless as they discussed dinner.
“And if you saw the video, I said something about cornbread because my chef cooked for the entire cast,” the actress said. “We have to make sure his bun is right. We need to make sure he eats well.”
The One Thousand and One star revealed that he was like a brother to her. She also praised DiCaprio's character and revealed that he championed her acting.
“He is the best. He will be cheering you on the entire time. she shared.
Before the two were secretly filmed at the party, a clip surfaced of Teyanna and Leonardo from the set of an untitled Paul Thomas Anderson film. It is currently called the “BC Project”.
In the video, Leonardo gives Teyana a slap on the butt during a robbery scene. It wasn't in the script, but fans seem to believe that reality imitates art.
