Gilbert Arenas: Draya’s Kid is NOT My Son!

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.”

Behind the Scenes: Deja Destinee’s Creative Process and Musical Inspiration

Published

on

The music industry is an ever-evolving landscape where artists must find their unique voice to stand out. In a detailed conversation, the grind of music and creativity were dissected with candor and passion by Shah Cypha and the multi-talented artist, Deja Destinée. They unpack the essence of Deja’s brand, her perspective on the music industry, and her multifaceted ventures beyond music.

The Genesis of a Brand: A Personal Story Through Music

The brand an artist creates is often a tapestry woven from their personal stories. For Deja Destinée, her name carries a legacy and an inspiration that fuels her artistic presence. “Deja Destiny is destiny… My first name was by my sister… Named after Tyra Banks’ character in Higher Learning… Destiny was named by my grandmother before I was born,” she recounts. This personal lineage adds depth to her music and offers her audience a piece of her narrative, creating a genuine connection that transcends the rhythms and lyrics.

In the music industry, the background behind a name often holds a significant weight, and Deja’s is intertwined deeply with her familial ties. Her music doesn’t just offer sound; it provides listeners with resonance, a shared experience that taps into the emotional fabric of the listener. This personal touch has become a beacon for her brand and her music, positioning her as an artist with a story to tell, a history to honor, and a future to shape.

Commanding the Stage: Performance as a Reflection of the Artist

A major theme from the discussion centered around Deja’s approach to performance. Stating that music comes as “first nature,” it’s evident that her on-stage persona is where she truly shines. Describing her performances, Deja says, “I give a lot of cocky energy. When I get on the stage, I usually bring my dancers, I have, you know, the flashy custom outfits… it makes them feel good, and for it to make them feel like they really that b\*\*\*h.”

This attitude exemplifies the confidence and showmanship that Deja brings to her craft, setting her apart in a crowded industry. The energy of a live performance, where the artist and audience feed off each other’s enthusiasm, is particularly crucial for Deja. Each show becomes an intimate conversation between them, a shared moment of empowerment and celebration of talent. It’s in these details that Deja’s commitment to her artistry, and her desire to elevate the music experience, shines brightest.

A Nexus of Creativity: Beyond Music

During the conversation, it became apparent that Deja is not content with being pigeonholed as just a musician. With interests in acting and entrepreneurship, such as her unique skincare line *Co-Skin*, she relays, “I do hair, I do makeup, I have my own like, skincare line doing shea butter… It’s so many things that I feel like I can tap into.”

Her tenacity to take on multiple creative endeavors showcases not only her talent but her understanding of the importance of diversification in a modern artist’s career. Deja leverages her platform in music to venture into other areas of interest, broadening her reach and solidifying her presence both in and out of the music world. This blend of artistry and enterprise spotlights a new generation of artists who are as business-minded as they are creative, indicative of the changing tides within the industry.

The Future Sounds of Success: Deja’s Continual Growth

As the conversation turned towards future prospects, Deja Destinée laid out her vision of evolving within the industry and her plans to be a game-changer. With new music on the horizon, including the engagingly titled single “ATE”, and a role in the upcoming film premiere set for June 6th at Newark Cinema, Deja’s grind is relentless.

Echoing her earlier sentiments on the significance of grinding, she reiterates, “To work and put in the work… when you don’t want to do it, put in the work then, too, because in the end, it’s gonna pay off.” It’s with this unwavering dedication and drive that Deja Destinée forges ahead, paving her path with an unshakeable belief in her art and her ability to influence the industry.

Deja’s narrative is one that is building upon the foundations of authenticity, perseverance, and an uncompromising vision for what she wants to achieve. With a solid grounding in the values instilled in her name and approach to music, the future beckons with infinite possibilities, each one an opportunity to further the imprint of Deja Destinée on the world.
