Draya Michele and baller Orlando Scandrick just called it quits on their relationship and it looks to be anything but an amicable one.   Draya and Scandrick are both showing signs of “I don’t like you anymore” syndrome.  Draya took to Instagram with her own breakup announcement.   The Mint Swim beauty posted the following photo :   Orlando posted a breakup notice of his own that reminded me of went 5o Cent dissed Vivica and said ‘It was nothing.”     I understand where Draya is coming from, she did change her perceived behavior once she started to date Scandrick.. She also become more family oriented..  The Basketball Wives L.A. star even started trying to cook which resulted in her producing many  struggle plates. Hopefully they won’t bicker too much.  Break-ups happen.. Whatever the case may be don’t bother feeling sorry for the beautiful woman. She caught Chris Brown , Scandrick and countless of other ballers.. She will catch another one.
