Shannon Sharpe, Ochocinco debate Draya Michele living with Jalen Green's child in ex-boyfriend's LA home: "You got to go"
Jalen Green’s girlfriend, Draya Michele, is reportedly involved in a legal dispute with her ex-boyfriend, NFL quarterback Tyrod Taylor. According to the New York Times, the former couple - who dated from 2020 to 2023 - are now engaged in a legal dispute over the Los Angeles house they bought in 2022.
Michele, who has been living in the house with her children, had filed a lawsuit against the New York Jets quarterback for forcing her to vacate the premises. After six months, Draya Michel is again taking Taylor to court.
According to the documents filed in court, the social media influencer alleged that Taylor sent police to the “Subject Property to lock the occupants out of the Subject Property.”
Draya Michele has previously said that she verbally agreed with Taylor that he would sell her the property for $3.2 million at some point in the future. She also claimed that she spent $300,000 on different payments, which should have been counted toward the agreed-upon $3.2 million.
On Tuesday's episode of “Nightcap,” former NFL players Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson debated the validity of Michele’s claim to the property.
Chad Johnson was steadfast in his opinion that if Draya Michele had a child with someone else after the separation, Taylor had the right to do whatever he wanted with the property.
"Once you have a child from somebody else right, then, you become his responsibility." Johnson said. "Anything I got going on, especially if my name is on that lease, if my name is on them deeds, then there should be no reason why you shouldn't want to exit that property anyway."
However, Shannon Sharpe opined that Taylor should have kept his word even if their relationship ended.
"I understand how difficult it is," Sharpe said. "Okay, we were together. I'm renting you the house. You let somebody else come up in the house that you and I shared, that you renting, put that thing on you, you have a child with them, and now you say, everything is status quo. I want to buy the house."
"I'm feeling some type of way I do. I do. Ocho, I'm feeling some type of way. But if I gave you my word, this is how I am."
However, Sharpe added that the former couple should have left each other’s lives when they broke up.
"Ocho! What should have happened, once they broke up, you got to go," Sharpe said.
"For me, the mistake that was made is that when they broke up, they didn't really break up. Because when you break up, you got to separate. Because if you keep hanging around, you gonna have feelings involved."
Draya Michele has three children from different relationships. When she was 17, she had her now-21-year-old son, Kniko Howard. Michele’s second child was another son, Jru Scandrick, with NFL cornerback Orlando Scandrick. She had her third child, a daughter, with Jalen Green earlier this year.

Draya Michele was at the Golden 1 Center with her second son Jru, supporting her boyfriend Jalen Green for his game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. The partner of the Houston Rockets star posted a picture with her son on her social media.
Michele donned a pair of jeans and matched it with a shoulder-cut top. As the mother-son duo enjoyed the game, Jru put on headphones to avoid the crowd noise.
Unfortunately, the Rockets lost the NBA Cup game to the Kings by 111-120. Jalen Green scored 28 points and had seven rebounds and three assists in the game.
