New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was caught on Snapchat last week appearing to smoke a blunt in bed with a model.

Alongside a box of pepperoni pizza, Beckham’s apparent gal pal also seems to be using a suspicious substance that folks allege is cocaine in the Snapchat video.

“…Tryna get you to sleep with [sombody],” he appears to say in the clip before Ferfeli kisses the sleeping athlete at the end.

The New York Post reported Friday, March 9, the day the clip went viral, that the Giants were aware of the video and had no other comment.

It’s not clear if the video is new or not, but the WR himself, who hopes to become the NFL’s highest-paid receiver after his rookie contract ends, seemed to indicate it’s an old one.

Yet the model in the clip, identified as Laura Cuenca, of France, told the New York Daily News she recorded the video on Thursday, March 8.

When asked about the apparent marijuana and cocaine in the clip, Cuenca said, Beckham “did not take any drugs!” but she wouldn’t respond when asked if there were drugs in the room. As for what she says Beckham was holding in his hand, she said it was “a piece of pizza.”

The model also said she didn’t find out the man in the clip was Beckham until after the video was uploaded. Once Beckham told her who he was, he asked her to remove it.

The clip went viral regardless and folks online have made their thoughts on it known.

“So Odell Beckham Jr. isn’t allowed to have sex with people who do drugs?” someone tweeted. “What is even the point of being rich and famous then?”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
