There were also rumors that Draya had received around $40,000 in child support, which she denied.
According to The Jasmine Brand, Draya said in a now-deleted tweet, "At 17 years old 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. Now, judging by how under-developed and young I was, besides living in a very small city in PA….. There’s no way in 2002 I got pregnant by some athlete."
"If I had, there’s not a chance in fucking hell I would have wasted 7 years of my life working “in the club” because clearly child support would be on fleek."
