Jay Cinco is standing firmly by his fiances side and shutting down online critics. In a new Instagram post, the streamer responded to backlash after Lala Baptistes reaction to his proposal sparked debate across social media.
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 Lalas reaction, with some suggesting she didnt 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-fiance, making it clear hes unbothered by outside opinions.
itd be different if the hate was new lol Love you princess. As long as we happy and living our BEST life, nobodys opinion matters but yours No facts just projection by the miserable, Im marrying her not the internet. Yall just was calling her a baby momma, now that shes a fiance yall 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 Daddys princess on the way .
Social media users quickly chimed in with mixed reactions to Jay Cinco’s statement over in The Shade Room Teens comment section.

While Lala hasnt directly addressed the criticism, she did drop a video on TikTok with her reaction to the proposal and the rock Jay Cinco put on her finger. In the clip, she gives fans a close-up look at her engagement ring, captioning the post, when the shock settles in, and you realize youre actually a FIANC?! . She also showed love to Jay Cinco, adding, shoutout to my mannnnnnnn .
