Since signing a five-year, $260 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens on April 27, Lamar Jackson has been relatively quiet in the news since the announcement. This was just before the NFL Draft, during which the Ravens acquired wide receiver Zay Flowers to add to their list of weapons, including Odell Beckham Jr., Mark Andrews, and Nelson Agholor. 

Now, Smiley Face is back in the news for all the right reasons. After he and Forever8Dreamers caused a stir with his video of taking charge of an ice cream truck, Lamar nows hogs the spotlight with some dating advice. 

How I expect my girl to act: Lamar lays some ground rules

Lamar Jackson is a prominent figure in the NFL, and his substantial contract is evidence of his success. Despite his widespread recognition, he has maintained his privacy and kept personal matters out of public scrutiny. But he had fans in a frenzy when he reposted an Instagram reel on his story showcasing his high standards.

It said, “How I expect my girl to react when Usher tries to sing to you: excuse me, get away!” In January, he also shared an IG reel: “When you have something good, you don’t play with it. You don’t take chances losing it. You don’t neglect it. When you have something good, you pour into it. You appreciate it. Because when you take care of something good, that good thing takes care of you too. [prayer hands emoji].”

There has been a growing “Pay Lamar” movement among Ravens fans to reward Lamar Jackson with a substantial new contract. This show of support began before the NFL draft and has even garnered public endorsements from teammates and rivals alike.

To top it off, Charmery’s “Pay Lamar” ice cream is revolutionizing the support. And the owners expressed their optimism with this gesture.
