A post shared by Draya Michele (@drayamichele)

Kniko Howard’s Mother Got Pregnant at 17

Kniko’s mother revealed she was just 17 years old when she conceived. The exact time Kniko Howard was born has not been revealed by his mother yet but there are speculations that he was born in 2002 or 2003. He spent most of his early years with his mother in Pennsylvania. Being a single mother, Draya revealed how she had to do a few dead-end jobs to raise him.

Howard has a younger half-brother from his mother’s previous relationship with her ex-fiance Orlando Scandrick, an NFL cornerback. His half-brother Jru Scandrick was born in 2016.

Controversies Surrounding Kniko Howard’s Paternity

There have been rumors about who fathered Howard. His mother initially did not want to open up about the issue. The first name that came up was that of the former professional basketball player, Gilbert Arenas. People speculated that the former player is the father of Howard but the player asserted that he first met Draya in 2008 when his teammate Deshawn Stevenson introduced them.

It was even reported by several online tabloids that Gilbert paid the sum of $20,000 so that the public will not hear about the news. He later responded to the allegation and challenged many renowned tabloids like TMZ and Baller Alert to prove the allegations. He even pledged to donate $1 million if they would prove the allegation.

Jennifer Williams a former Basketball Wives cast revealed she once saw a leaked email that suggests the basketball player was Kniko’s father.

However, after so many years of back and forth, Draya decided to clear the air. She explained that at the time she was 7 months pregnant, her son’s father was imprisoned for 10 years. Draya revealed she was able to survive with the help of her mother.

She also added that she had to work in the club for several years so there’s no how Gilbert would father her son and she would not receive child support. Draya also revealed that Howard was named after his father, Kniko Howard Sr. She also added her baby daddy was working as a barber in Pennsylvania.

His Mother Has Been Linked With Quite a Number of Famous People

Aside from Orlando, Draya has reportedly been in a relationship with Game, Chris Brown, Javaris Crittenton, and Deshawn Stevenson. She has had encounters with French Montana, Ray J, Bernard Berrian, Gilbert Arenas, Jay-z, and a few other celebrities.

Draya is currently rumored to be dating the American football quarterback, Tyrod Taylor. The two have been spotted together at events a couple of times.

Kniko Howard’s Mother Has Been Tagged As a Bad Mom on Several Occasions

Draya Michele received a huge backlash for being a bad mother some years ago. This came after she posted a photo in 2017 and wrote how she refused to sign her son’s homework which made him get low points.

Her fans responded to the post calling her an irresponsible mother. Draya also made headlines when she was arrested on an endangerment charge in 2010. According to reports, the model left her son alone at her unguarded Wyomissing home while she was working in Philadelphia. Howard reportedly called 911 on Dec.16 2010 and told them he was home alone.

District Judge Ann L.Young was in charge of the case. The model was later granted bail with a bond of $25,000.
