Congrats to Draya for Jalen Green’s contract extension, she worked hard and earned that shit

I don’t understand the Draya hate. If YOUR romantic partner essentially received a significant salary increase, that profoundly increases the quality of life, of your family, of your NEW child, would you not be happy and congratulate them ??….oh 😂

Meanwhile, fans of the couple are still waiting to see their daughter for the first time. The infant has made a few appearances on her mother’s Instagram feed, but no shots showing her face.
