Jay Cinco Shuts Down Critics Coming For Lala Baptiste
Last week, Jay Cinco and Lala Baptiste were the talk of the internet after the soon-to-be parents’ baby shower turned into a full-on proposal. During a toast, Jay surprised guests and Lala by getting down on one knee and popping the question. Seemingly caught off guard, Lala appeared speechless before walking over to Jay and placing the ring on her finger. Following the moment, social media users began speculating about Lala’s reaction, with some suggesting she didn’t seem excited or even interested in marrying Jay at all. Amid the online chatter, Jay addressed the criticism by sharing a photo of himself and his now-fiancée, making it clear he’s unbothered by outside opinions.
“🩷 it’d be different if the hate was new lol Love you princess. As long as we happy and living our BEST life, nobody’s opinion matters but yours 🙏🏽 No facts just projection by the miserable, I’m marrying her not the internet. Y’all just was calling her a baby momma, now that she’s a fiancée y’all read her mind and try to speak for her lmao we never can win lol. Marriage is the closest thing to God. People/The Devil will try to tear it down but with God in the center nothing can tear our beautiful home down 🩷 we make ’em mad every time 😘”
Jay continued, “Comparison is the thief of joy. Live and love yours 🩷 so much to be happy for. Thank You God… Daddy’s princess on the way 👑.”
