Oh, it wasn't a rumour. The deal got quite advanced.
My now-employers covered it at the time:

It was after. By this point it was Gateway Inc paying for it. There's
an account of what happened here:
https://www.trollaxor.com/2005/06/how-qnx-failed-amiga.html
The next-gen Amiga project was pretty much why QNX gained its GUI, Neutrino:

This is also the basis of the famous QNX Demo Disk, build by the late
great Dan Hildebrandt:

It was a good OS in its time and its admirers often call it a
microkernel, but IMVHO if all the code is in the same memory space,
that's not really a true microkernel.
Amiga Inc then went on to nearly do a deal with Tao Group for the much
more advanced Taos, in its later v2 incarnation as Intent/Elate.

Ars has some info on this nearly-forgotten OS:
