Who's The Real Father Of 'Basketball Wives' Star Draya Michele's First Son?
"Basketball Wives" star Draya Michele is expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Scandrick.
However, there have been a lot of talks about who the father of her first child, Kniko, is.
She was supposedly impregnated by an unknown professional athlete, Rolling Out reported.
Recently, her former co-star Jennifer Williams insinuated that Kniko's biological dad was actually Gilbert Arenas, who was previously engaged to her reality show co-star Laura Govan.
Reacting to the recent claim, Michele took to social media to finally clear out the rumors about her first baby, as reported by VH1.
"Here is Draya ..... At 17 years old," she wrote in the caption of a now-deleted throwback photo of herself at 17. "I got pregnant by a man who became incarcerated for 10 when I was 7 months pregnant. With help from my mom, I was able to survive."
She went on to describe her life as a single mom as hard and difficult, pointing out that she was too "under-developed and young" to have had an affair with a professional athlete.
Although her popularity and assets grew thanks to "Basketball Wives," Draya Michele had a hard time making ends meet as a single mom.
"If I had, there's not a chance in f-- hell I would have wasted seven years of my life working 'in the club' because clearly child support would be on fleek. I have never received A DIME of child support in my life and that's ok," she continued. "I have also NEVER attempted to say anyone other than who my son is named after (yes he's a junior) was the father."
She went on to reveal that Kniko Sr. now lives in Pennsylvania as a barber and not some rich athlete, adding that she finds all the rumors about her baby's father "completely embarrassing to me and my family."
"But I've been quiet too long," she wrote. "I've also let people tell 'my story' on tv too many times. I'll speak my truths..... You speak your own and keep whatever momentum going by doing that. God bless. Leave the kids out of it for heaven's sake."
Although "Basketball Wives" star Draya Michele is already expecting her second baby with her on-off boyfriend from the Dallas Cowboys, she told Hip Hollywood that she's not rushing into getting hitched before giving birth.
