"It seems like I'm the only n---a in this town [to] have married a young woman, but since it's me, they got to have something to talk about," he shared. "Look like you little girls are jealous of my wife, but keep on promoting us. I love it."
Deja also supported her husband as she posted her statement on the platform, saying, "I don't gaf about how nobody feel. This is my life and me and my husband gone live it to the fullest."
In another post, she said, "My husband is a loving father to our children!! Y'all can say what y'all want but we are happy and it's nothing you can do about it!!! God put a shield of protection over us all! And may u bless us with all you have for us. Amen."
She also defended her marriage by bringing up the fact that she already had kids at a young age.
"So it's okay for me to have kids young but it's not okay for me to marry young, y'all haters and maddddddd," she added.
