Hey Draya I've watched you grow into a Beautiful woman I'm glad you ended your time on Basketball wives. I'M YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN LOVE YOUR MOVIES YOU SLAYING IT MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY!!❤
I always have loved her, I’m glad Basketball Wives didn’t stunt her glow up!!! We all deserve to rise and she’s killing it!!! Draya is so down to earth; she still is that sweet person we met years ago. Very smart woman, congrats to her and everything she wants to accomplish!!!
He is probably one of the best interviewers EVER! He was respectable, genuinely interested, engaging and asking really good questions without being messy like most interviews these days! I always loved Draya too!
A lot of people been sweating her about when she's gonna get married but never thought to think about his money declining while hers steadily increases. That's a smart girl. Not every athlete nabs a super contract that can sustain them for the rest of their lives even after retirement. Protect yourself Draya!
@@mixdbeautea I don't follow football and I can't count his money, but Draya said he's nearing retirement. Idk what kind of money he made while he was playing but I don't think he was a star player or anything but don't quote me on that. Draya works in fashion and can make money off her brand for the rest of her life.
@@greginasmith6586 I agree with Jennifer Smith. It's kind of a gamble to cohabitate for an extended period and not have it in writing. It's totally okay if people don't believe in marriage but to want it so far down the road? I'm not sure it works out typically.
@@kokolatte825 It's a bigger gamble to marry someone and you are not 100% sure. You can cohabitate forever as long as you don't do certain things, joint accounts, filing taxes together, etc.
This one interview is going to be credited for cleaning up her image. He framed her personality so well and she articulated things people had no idea. Excellent interview.
He clearly sides with Evelyn cuz she’s “pretty”. He strikes me as a superficial type. He said people pick on the “pretty girls”. Draya and especially Evelyn were nasty and mean spirited on basketball wives.
Both ladies are equally mean. Both ladies have equals parts of hurt from early child and both need equal parts of help. I don’t know if OG is instructed to be the antagonist (probably yes) or not, ** but on the show ** she portrays herself as a major pick me. And on top of that will literally insert herself into narratives which aren’t even about her. We can only blame Mona (the queen of trash) and Shawnie (the executive producer of trash) for so long. -- Evelyn’s hurt: early childhood development which has been carried into adulthood. Anyone with eyes, ears and common sense would be able to point of these things out. Now let’s stop tearing people down, because I’m sure none of y’all are living any better.
I admire Draya Michelle's transparency, ESPECIALLY, about the "reality" of Basketball Wives! I'm glad she's matured beyond the disgrace of the Basketball wives franchise.
I feel like Draya has evolved since BBW. She's GROWN now. Kuddos to her for knowing when enough is enough because you CANNOT grow while being on that show.
This was an amazing Interview, The interviewer asked great questions, He was warm and inviting and easy to talk to, I felt like he made it comfortable for her to answer the questions and Also, Draya kept it all the way💯, She seem so genuine and truthful and That is why you have to love her.
I so appreciate her for everything that she said about black stereotypes on TV! I hate feeling represented by women that throw drinks and cause fights in other people's businesses and throw tables in foreign countries. That is not all black women and those are definitely not black women they represent me. I can't even say that I've lived a lifestyle like Draya has but listening to her in her growth , she can represent me now!! I am very proud of the woman that I am seeing in this interview. Peace and light to you sista
I always loved draya..her and Royce were my two top favs .. I love the underdogs..I feel like the mean girls hated them since they were the pretty girls ..its a shame and seasons later the show hadn't changed.. she is doing big things
Justin, Draya didn't say she was picked on. She said she struggled with her identity like most bi-racial ppl. But, I like how you started that question: "pretty girls get picked on"
I think he was a fan of hers from basketball wives when she first started. She was definently picked on from the very beginning by the other ladies. She was quiet and didn't bother nobody but they always had issues with her. They called her a bad mom and one lady even called her worthless in front of everyone. But look at God, that same bullying is what made her a fan favorite and built her base of supporters.
@@cccody50 Context and perspective always a great combination, thank you. But, he said bullied in school so his assumption was b/c she may have been bullied on the show that she was bullied in school.
No one calls the Housewives aggressive women. Except Atlanta. I do acknowledge there is more physical violence on basketball wives and love and hip-hop. So there is that contribution to the angry black women stereotype. Dammit.
Duh! She clearly says my mom is white and my dad is black! She also clearly states how she struggled with identity all her life! The facts that she identifies with being black is her right

@@greginasmith6586 I like her but she's not a representation of African American women. Because she's not black, she's biracial
@Jessica Marie She never claimed to be tho! She's been open and honest about having a white mother and a black father. She also stated she struggled with identity. If she chooses to identify with being a black woman than thats her choice and she seems to be proud of it!
5 ปีที่แล้ว
@@greginasmith6586 Yeah she did. She just called herself a black woman in the video....
I Iove draya. It’s sad that most people will chain you to your past. I respect her and all her growth over the years. She definitely didn’t allow her past to define her. You go girl!
She explains it in the interview! So basically .... He'll retire soon and no more football checks (not that he doesn't have other investments) but she's in fashion and will constantly make money which means if they divorce money made DURING the marriage is in question. Which will be HER money so she has every right to not jump the gun and get married because the world thinks shes been engaged too long
What a great interview . This is the kind of stuff we need to watch on tv . Her struggle. On BBW I would have never thought she was broke like that. I always thought she was a snob and now I see she is not.
I love Draya Michele from Basketball Wives. She has grown in so many levels. Everyone has a past and Draya enbraced them all. God Bless you Draya keep winning
I'm glad Draya spoke on the reality tv stigma on black women stopping opportunities because it's not the same energy with white women reality stars like the Kardashians. Entertainment executives will easily close the door to people like Tami Roman, Kenya Moore, or Draya Michele saying "we're not looking for reality stars" but the Kardashians and their white privilege can get book to attend a Vogue fashion show. It's ridiculous
Reading, PA is very urban and dangerous. Ironically I used to work as a bank teller an hour outside of Reading and we had a training in Reading. We literally couldn’t walk in broad daylight without someone else because of how unsafe it can get.
I love draya I always felt like they picked on her because they were jealous of her. When she left the show I stop watching BW. But I think she should stay away from the Kardashian’s they are not to be trusted next thing you know Kylie going to be dating her man. Everybody know they get down like that 🙄.
I love Draya and she definitely had a glow up but I wonder if she ever apologized to Brandi because even though I don’t like Brandi she deserved an apology.

Hey Draya I've watched you grow into a Beautiful woman I'm glad you ended your time on Basketball wives. I'M YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN LOVE YOUR MOVIES YOU SLAYING IT MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY!!❤
My girl said she was a bank teller & a stripper ! & A Mom! She was a straight up hustler. I can respect that.
Someone finally gave her a quality interview!
Same thing I said! I still want to slap Wendy Williams! Like why invite her if your gonna be shady
@@greginasmith6586 I believe Draya has so much guidance to offer in terms of business but nobody gives her a platform.
@S K Yes I agree! She literally built Mint Swim from the ground up! I watched that play out her first season of BBW
Without focusing on drama
She is a Queen!
I always have loved her, I’m glad Basketball Wives didn’t stunt her glow up!!! We all deserve to rise and she’s killing it!!! Draya is so down to earth; she still is that sweet person we met years ago. Very smart woman, congrats to her and everything she wants to accomplish!!!
I didn’t like the way Jackie Christy use to treat her I’m glad she left baseball wife’s a lone congrats to her 🤩🤩🤩
He is probably one of the best interviewers EVER! He was respectable, genuinely interested, engaging and asking really good questions without being messy like most interviews these days! I always loved Draya too!
I second that!
A lot of people been sweating her about when she's gonna get married but never thought to think about his money declining while hers steadily increases. That's a smart girl. Not every athlete nabs a super contract that can sustain them for the rest of their lives even after retirement. Protect yourself Draya!
Chrissy c 💯
Your comment just made me think... "Women". I hope they don't get married. Marriage doesn't help men.
Chrissy c What??? His money is declining?!! 😳 I don’t know too much about him, except that he plays for the NFL.
@@mixdbeautea I don't follow football and I can't count his money, but Draya said he's nearing retirement.

Chrissy c True.
I love that she spoke her truth about the show
She is so down to earth. The reason why I always liked her. An authentic woman.
He asked great questions
Aliyah Nicole yes... great interview.
Love Draya. She's super raw, and honest, not ashamed of her truth, and I apprecite that.
That's exactly what I love about her
Respect to Draya. I watched the show because of her character. She’s moved on gracefully.
Same
She definitely needs to do a class/ talk on rebranding cause she did that!!!!!
Mich I would pay and travel for that class!
Yassss!!! Draya is smart! Thinking about her finances and business before walking down that isle.
But how many years sis?
@Jennifer Smith is there a time limit? What's the rush... She prefers to be financially stable!
@@greginasmith6586 I agree with Jennifer Smith. It's kind of a gamble to cohabitate for an extended period and not have it in writing. It's totally okay if people don't believe in marriage but to want it so far down the road? I'm not sure it works out typically.
She's seen the women around her make those mistakes. She's a wise girl. 💯

she's very self aware, thats a gift not many have!
Justine, needs to bring OG from Basketball Wives on this show. Let have honest converstation here without judgement.
I don't know if he's capable of doing that. Especially, after his interview with Evelyn. Imo......
He clearly sides with Evelyn cuz she’s “pretty”. He strikes me as a superficial type. He said people pick on the “pretty girls”. Draya and especially Evelyn were nasty and mean spirited on basketball wives.
Most likely he's a colorist MOST black men are.
@@morganreid2630 Draya was not mean spirited.

I admire Draya Michelle's transparency, ESPECIALLY, about the "reality" of Basketball Wives! I'm glad she's matured beyond the disgrace of the Basketball wives franchise.
She needs to play Cyntoia Brown Long in the movie about her life.
Yes....she resembles her .
People would hate that just because of her background...she would have to be so good.
Tanya Bonham Scott
Hell yeah!!!
You are observant as hell, I'm sitting here for 10 minutes trying to figure out who the hell she looks like lol...
I’ve been trying to figure out who she reminded me of! Good eye
“What you see now... this is cute... but this is NOT IT.”
Yasss Draya!
She did her thang in the Netflix movie "we belong together"
I'm watching it right now she's good
I've always liked Draya, babygirl has come a long way. From PA to LA!
I love her. She inspires me! I started my swimwear line because of her 😍
J C That’s awesome! What’s your website?
A* • Instagram @beachsidebyjade 😊💖 it’s still pretty new.
Something about her, I just like and I don't feel that way often. ....... Love her honesty....
I feel like Draya has evolved since BBW. She's GROWN now. Kuddos to her for knowing when enough is enough because you CANNOT grow while being on that show.
Bbw?
I liked her on the show. She was always genuine and down to earth.

I love Draya! Always have. She was always my favorite on Basketball Wives. She’s so smart and down to earth. ❤️
Mine too. I would like them to recast the show and bring back Draya and Brandi. Get Shaunie off! She's too biased.
Like her more after this interview...she's officially left BW...
I’m watching BW from the beginning and I just want to hug her she didn’t have to explain her self to any of them
Call me Poetic what way are you watching it? I’m tryna watch too sis

Draya is dropping truth bombs. She doesn't get enough of her tens.

I absolutely appreciate her prenup answer. I have always liked Draya even when I disagreed with her words or decisions.
How old is she ?
OMG how could anyone not love this woman?!
Exactly. I've always loved her ❤❤
No one calls the Housewives aggressive women. Except Atlanta.
I do acknowledge there is more physical violence on basketball wives and love and hip-hop. So there is that contribution to the angry black women stereotype.
Dammit.
I LOVE how Draya is embracing being African American and talking about REAL issues. She is speaking nothing but truth!
She's not black she's mixed
Duh! She clearly says my mom is white and my dad is black! She also clearly states how she struggled with identity all her life! The facts that she identifies with being black is her right

She's the best I love when she gave back for the toy drive for unfortunate kids that was so nice of her and her team✌
Mixed as well and completely related to that part of her interview. I like that she included her own insecurities about it growing up. Well said 👏
Been following her awhile on instagram, it's also good to see her glow up. Toned down but very stylish and professional look - here for it
She obviously doesn’t watch Married to Medicine. Chile that’s seriously the best show on reality TV
Lmaoooo
gualeri1 right bc married to medicine is the lick
its def one of the best shows. & love & marriage huntsville is GOOD too
@@user-be9ck5ir5h oh! I LOVE that show. Martell is the biggest narcissist I've ever seen. It's sad.
She looks sooooooh good with age it's like aging backwards
Loved this interview. I always liked Draya and always wanted to see her win.
You did an excellent job interviewing her. I wish there were more Draya interviews.
I Iove draya. It’s sad that most people will chain you to your past. I respect her and all her growth over the years. She definitely didn’t allow her past to define her. You go girl!
I grew to like Draya, shes so vulnerable and just keeps it real. I to grew up in Reading,Pa.
She been engaged for like 6 years it def don’t take that long to talk about a prenup 😂😒
😏😌
She explains it in the interview! So basically .... He'll retire soon and no more football checks (not that he doesn't have other investments) but she's in fashion and will constantly make money which means if they divorce money made DURING the marriage is in question.

Tay Smith it’s there r relationship we can’t really judge
Tay Smith yes nuts
They broke up at some point too 😩😂 but that ain’t none of our business tho... I love draya
she was so open! When she spoke on that LA rent i felt that
Loved this interview. I’ve always liked her and this made me admire her more. She is smart, her blueprint is definitely more than BW!!
I love him!! Such a good interview!!
Bro. Her freaking nails are everything.
First great interview. She get to express herself and she is so intelligent. Love ❤️ me so Draya

Girl you are real love everything you say . Don’t look at the shows anymore black woman acting like teenagers and fighting with each other
What a great interview . This is the kind of stuff we need to watch on tv . Her struggle. On BBW I would have never thought she was broke like that. I always thought she was a snob and now I see she is not.
She’s sweet, beautiful and she’s become so well put together and composed. I like her ❤️
I loved everything about this interview. I feel bad I've been passing it up so much.
Draya Michele is definitely here to stay. She is very genuine & her inner beauty is everything! Can't wait to see what her future brings💕
Such a fun interview. I love her evolution❤️
Excellent interview the chemistry was just natural and he asked excellent questions!!!

Wow, this is one of the best interviews I’ve watched in a long time. I’ve always liked Draya
Draya is so beautiful I can tell she got a crazy side though 😩
You can see it in her eyes lol
And you can definitely become the black version of Victory Beckham ....you are beautiful, well spoken and intelligent
She have became really mature and I love it! Gurl just have a common law marriage and call it one lol!
I'm glad Draya spoke on the reality tv stigma on black women stopping opportunities because it's not the same energy with white women reality stars like the Kardashians.

Lol there is no such thing as a vogue fashion show..you dimwit!
@@liljay216 i wouldn't know because I support Essence Magazine not Vogue🚴🏿♂️🤷🏾♂️
Draya has eloquently matured through this business / I will always be a fan
Reading PA is out in the middle of nowhere. "Outside Philly" Yeah almost 2 hours outside Philadelphia. Still love her and always will.
Monica Kelly I was thinking the same thing. I’m from NY and reading is where you get tax free school clothes lol.
Reading, PA is very urban and dangerous. Ironically I used to work as a bank teller an hour outside of Reading and we had a training in Reading. We literally couldn’t walk in broad daylight without someone else because of how unsafe it can get.
Monica Kelly stfu
I always liked Draya and her personality. She is so real. Keep on going with your success girl!
GREAT INTERVIEWER!!!!! E! Is lucky to have you…
I love draya I always felt like they picked on her because they were jealous of her. When she left the show I stop watching BW. But I think she should stay away from the Kardashian’s they are not to be trusted next thing you know Kylie going to be dating her man. Everybody know they get down like that 🙄.
Alicia Pink facts
I bet it’ll be Khloe
Alicia Pink yes exactly 💯‼️
The hustle is extremely respectable and very admirable.
I've always loved her, and I loved this interview!
She’s so sweet and genuine. I can tell 🥰
Her makeup always looks good.
I love that she says both her kids were made out of love. It seems like woman that have a name for themselves arnt as eager to get married.
Straight
I've always been a fan. It's nice to see an interviewer take her seriously.
I love draya, ppl give her a hard time but she’s always been real & strategic. And very beautiful as well.
Draya is so beautiful and this interview was everything!👌🏽🙏🏾😍😍😍
GREAT INTERVIEW!!! I've always like draya so laid back & down to earth
I love me some Draya!! She’s amazing 😍😍
I'm so glad she left the show. She is doing great and I love her movies especially the most recent one on Netflix! I wish the same for Tami!!!
I love Draya and she definitely had a glow up but I wonder if she ever apologized to Brandi because even though I don’t like Brandi she deserved an apology.
Wow! I love her so much now! That's right, Tell your truth and live in sweetie!!!♥️💯
She has a really unique look
Draya is really real and I always admired her hustle 🔥 a mogul
This is why I love Draya! She is a really down to earth girl 👧 thanks for this awesome interview 🎉
