"Slow news day today, I see, huh?" the two-time NBA MVP said. "Just make sure y’all send me the video of you dancing at your own restaurant opening. And we’re going to keep 'Milly Rocking' until that happens."

This isn't Ayesha's first encounter with trolls on social media.
Earlier this year, she was criticized for comments she made during an appearance on "Red Table Talk."
While on the show, Ayesha shared her frustrations with the women who fawn over her husband — and her not receiving the same attention from men.
"Something that really bothers me, and honestly has given me a sense of a little bit of an insecurity, is the fact that yeah, there are all these women, like, throwing themselves [at him], but me, like the past 10 years, I don't have any of that," Ayesha said. "I have zero — this sounds weird — but, like, male attention, and so then I begin to internalize it, and I'm like, 'Is something wrong with me?'"
