Old videos featuring Olivia Ponton, a model and social media influencer who has been linked romantically to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, have gone viral on social media, showing her waving a firearm while using a racial slur via Bro Bible.
In one clip circulating widely since late March, Ponton appears to lip-sync to the song “The Race” by rapper Tay-K. She is seen holding and waving a gun as she recites lyrics that include the N-word, according to multiple reports and social media posts describing the footage. A separate video shows her dancing alongside rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, with whom she is reported to have had a previous relationship.
Ponton, 23, first gained prominence as a TikTok creator during the pandemic and later became a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. She has also pursued acting and other entertainment ventures and was previously linked to country singer Kenny Chesney, who is nearly four decades her senior.

The videos, described as old, resurfaced online around March 25, prompting widespread discussion. Reports have referred to Ponton as Burrow’s girlfriend following public sightings, including a dinner outing in Miami, though neither has confirmed the relationship publicly.
Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez, is a convicted felon known for his legal troubles and history as an informant in a gang-related case.
As of Thursday, neither Ponton nor Burrow had issued public statements about the videos. The Cincinnati Bengals did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The resurfaced footage has drawn scrutiny over Ponton’s past associations and actions, though details about when and where the clips were originally recorded remain unclear. Social media users have shared side-by-side comparisons and screen recordings, but the authenticity of the videos has not been independently verified by major news outlets.
