*Draya Michele and her 22-year-old son, Kniko Howard, recently attended a Houston Rockets game to support Draya’s young lover player Jalen Green, also 22, bringing attention back to their controversial age-gap relationship.
The photos and video from the Lakers vs. Rockets game on January 5 sparked a wave of criticism on social media.
As Vibe reports, one user tweeted, “This is just sick.. Taking advantage of that young man.. You couldn’t secure a retired athlete or a coach? Jalen is the same age as your son.” Another person commented, “I’d be so embarrassed to have her as a mom.”
As we reported earlier, Draya, 39, clapped back at critics last year when she was labeled a “predator” for her pregnancy with the NBA player. The mother of three took to Instagram to address the situation.
In her Instagram Story, she wrote, “Get comfortable being misunderstood… Most High sees you clearly – let that be enough.”

Draya also expressed joy in bringing new life into the world: “As women, we navigate through so much… It’s my superpower… It’s the privilege of bringing another woman into existence.”
She continued: “We are overjoyed to share our love for you, little girl. I’m excited to speak words to the daughter I never thought I’d have. Draya added, “Know you are being brought into a space of love, security, and adornment.”
