Draya Michele Pranks Jalen Green With Viral Social Media Challenge

As mentioned, Draya and Jalen don’t always let the internet into their private lives. However, Michele recently shared a hilarious moment that has been going around online for weeks. For context, the TikTok challenge requires a person to tell someone else they can drink the water from a glass without removing a towel placed over it. Whole time though, it’s a trick! The prankster pretends they’ve drunk the water after an ah-bra-ca-da-bra performance and waits for the other person to pull the towel. After that, the prankster drinks the water and claims the prize they negotiated.

In Draya Michele’s case, she asked Jalen Green to take her on a shopping trip to Sephora if she could pull off the “magic trick.” Despite seeming confused, the 23-year-old seemingly agreed to the game and ultimately fell for the trick. It’s meant to be a funny, lighthearted moment between the couple, and the video even shows them laughing mid-way through it.

See the two-minute interaction below.

Michele Seemingly Shades The Haters

Draya’s video featuring Jalen Green has collected over 639,000 views and more than 1,100 comments on her TikTok account. While some reactions found humor in the social media challenge, others couldn’t help but circle back to the couple’s 17-year age gap. Michele is 40 years old, and Green is 23.

For example, TikTok user @ydiamondl wrote,“Your son is so handsome,”while @HaitianBeautyBambiBSNRN said,“He speaks so young lol.”

@frighthouse commented,“Teaching her son new things,”and @evelinelissa said,“Mommy playing with her son.”

@tajj___ questioned, “What do they have in common.”Meanwhile, @nique.lauren said she understood Draya’s POV, “He look different now. I see the vision & I now understand.”

And that’s only a peek at HER comment section. In The Shade Room’s comments on Instagram, over 9,000 weighed in. But the video also circulated amid sports and celeb blogs and other platforms. Nonetheless, Draya seemed unmoved by the shade thrown at her and Jalen Green. Instead, she threw her own shade in another video after the social media challenge. Her new video showed her walking outside in a workout ‘fit.

“If you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, just say that,”Draya said before dropping her shades over her eyes and flexing her snatched body!
