For reasons unbeknown to pretty much everybody, Draya Michele has decided to keep the identity of the father of her 11-year-old son Kniko a secret, and to this day, she’s managed to do so … but that hasn’t stopped folks from coming up with theory after theory.

One of the most popular theories is that NBA player Gilbert Arenas is his Kniko’s secret father (even Google is in on it!), but after years of speculation, Arenas — who has four children with former “Basketball Wives L.A.” star Laura Govan — has finally come forward to let the people know the truth.

And the truth is just like how that famous Michael Jackson song goes: THE KID IS NOT MY SON!

In an Instagram post that has sine been deleted, Gilbert explained: “Draya’s son was at least four years old when I met her and we were [cool] friends.”

Arenas also gave some insight into why Draya and his ex-fiancée/baby mama Laura Govan had beef while they were on BBWLA together.

Apparently, a gag order had been put in place preventing Govan from mentioning his name on the show. While Gilbert and Draya were dating, he volunteered to help her move, and in return, she agreed not to mention his name either.

“Draya was [cast], but since the show wasn’t paying her to move to Cali to shoot and live, we came to an agreement,” he shared. “This is why no one understood who Draya was with to be on the show…”

If you’ll recall, at the beginning of BBWLA season one, Laura Govan talked about being abandoned by Arenas (without mentioning his name of course, but we all knew who she was talking about) and forced to live in a one-bedroom apartment with all four of their children.

So if this man was going around “helping” other women move to L.A. instead of the mother of his children, that would explain why Laura was so furious with Draya. Who wouldn’t be?!?

Arenas also threw a little shade at Govan in his IG post by applauding Draya for making a name for herself without using his or that of any other athlete.

“I thank her for making a name for herself and not using my name to pogo her career,” he wrote.

Now, you might be asking yourself, “Why is Gilbert Arenas speaking out about this particular issue right now?”

Well, he explained that too: “Her son is 11 … my kids are 9,8,5,4, and they can access the Internet and sh*t like this floating around can have kids confused and it needed to stop.”
