JoJo and Adu ended their relationship shortly after the video was released, although both parties have denied rumors that the music video's plot had anything to do with this. Following its release and popularity, Zaher found that he could not escape the video nor the song. Fellow UCLA teammates, athletes, opposing soccer teams and fans have constantly made fun of his appearance in the video during soccer matches since its release, to the point of which the video was played during half-time at one particular game in Maryland. He explained, "You'd think after four or five years people would forget it, but they don't ... I guess I'm just going to have to live with it the rest of my life." Despite this, Zaher does not regret participating in the video, insisting that it was a "great experience". He believes the people who tease him are merely jealous and wish they were in his position at the time, and admitting that he and JoJo have kept in touch as of 2011.
