Draya Michele playfully teased her current beau, basketball star Jalen Green, over the fact that the athlete — who is 17 years her junior — thought that a 2000s T-Pain song was a brand new record.
“My boyfriend, he discovered a new song, but it’s not new—it’s from 2000 and..what year is this from? 2013, 2012. He likes ‘Chopped N Skrewed,’” Draya, 40, said, revealing the T-Pain track Green, 23, has taken a liking to. He then chimes in with the correct year of release, telling Draya “2008” after a quick Google search.
“Where were you when this came out?” she then asked her man, who replied, “I was six years old.”

Green’s reply prompted several responses from their followers, with many questioning the swimwear designer dating someone who was in the first grade while she was living her best life in her 20s.
“She really gazed into his eyes and asked where he was in 2008?!?! He was learning how to read sweetheart,” joked one follower via TSR‘s comment section, with another adding, “the nerve of her to ask knowing he was in kindergarten.”
Both Michele and Green are aware of the criticism they receive for the age gap within their relationship, addressing the naysayers last summer during a chat with TMZ.
“We try to stay off the internet and really listen to that kind of stuff,” said the reality TV star at the time, with Green chiming in, “We also don’t care.”
Michele continued, “We block it out and we mind our business. I don’t know what people’s problem is. Two adults being in love, I don’t know why that would rub people the wrong way. It’s kind of weird. Love is love at the end of the day.”
Michele and Green welcomed a baby girl together May 2024. For old time’s sake, check out T-Pain’s “Chopped N Skrewed” music video featuring Ludacris below.
