Jayda Cheaves is breaking her silence on all of the social media users questioning the sexuality of her 5-year-old son Loyal Armani Jones, with whom she shares with Atlanta rapper Lil Baby, real name Dominique Jones.
During a new episode of the ‘Act Normal Podcast,’ hosted by Jayda Cheaves and co-host, rapper Dess Dior, the two ladies spoke about backlash Cheaves recently received after a new campaign for her clothing brand Waydamin. While addressing the criticism, Cheaves said, “Honestly, the riff-raff on the internet didn’t move me only because I knew my intentions.”
She added, “And I’m reading this book and it says that hone your interns are pure and your intentions are good, it’s no need to clear nothing up. Because I would be clearing myself on the internet for people who already think what they think. I can’t change their opinions about the video that I posted. Their perception is not my reality. We honestly got the concept from an old movie in the ‘70s and another movie, ‘The Parent Trap.’ It just was something fun and what I hate [is when] they try to make it weird. They do that with everything.”

She continued, “I don’t know. They talk about my son’s sexuality. They talk about the videos, saying I was promoting molestation.” Dess Dior continued to mention that when social media users start questioning her son’s sexuality or her promotional angles they are the “real creeps.”
Jayda Cheaves agreed and added, “To be able to look at that and just instantly think that way … a 5-year-old?” Dior said those people “need to self-reflect and do some healing” and Cheaves added, “It’s scary.”
She continued, “I just got to pray for those types of people. I pray that they find it in their heart to understand that this is a child. There are certain limits you just don’t cross or certain things you just don’t say. But, I said I can’t control people’s perception or I can’t make people say, ‘Oh, Loyal isn’t this.’ I can’t do that. F**k it. We ball.”
Dess Dior went on to commend Jayda Cheaves for not allowing social media users questioning her son Loyal’s sexuality to affect her. Cheaves added, “Hell nah! I know who my child is. His dad knows who he is. Our family knows. No one’s questioning, worried, or bothered.”
