Cardi B Shuts Down La La Anthony Beef Rumours: “She Has Helped Me A LOT!!!”

by

Last evening’s Met Gala appeared to go down without any drama or major incidents – though there were plenty of cats (and a cockroach) on the red carpet. On hosting duty for Vogue was La La Anthony, who spoke with a number of celebrities about their designer outfits for the evening. Among them were Ice Spice, as well as Cardi B, who’s been friends with the Power actress for some time now. Of course, it’s well known that Anthony is popular within the Hollywood circle, as she has close relationships with stars like Kim Kardashian and Ciara, just to name a few.

Despite her obviously being well-liked, internet trolls still tried to start beef between the Invasion of Privacy rapper and La La after seeing a video of their interview on Twitter. “It’s so obvious that she can’t stand her😭💀,” one of them wrote, getting attention from Cardi herself, who didn’t hesitate to clear up the speculation with a quickness. “Not true,” she wrote on Tuesday (May 2). “I talk to La La more than any celeb… She knows everything!!! If you ever need something she knows all the contacts,” the mother of two gave the socialite her flowers.

Cardi B Denies Disliking La La Anthony

According to Cardi, Anthony has “helped [her] A LOT!!!” amid her come-up in the industry. Aside from shutting down slander this afternoon, the New Yorker also shared a photo dump from last night on her Instagram feed, thanking those involved in the making of just one of her many stunning looks. “I love this dress soo much 🎀. And YES pink reminds me of Chanel,” her caption reads.

“Whenever they drop any shades of a pink collection I go buy it lol… @miss_sohee thank you so much for this beautiful dream dress. Thank you so much @kollincarter for putting it together.” Check out Cardi B’s latest IG post commerating her time at the 2023 Met Gala below, and let us know if you like her dress in the comments.

La La Anthony Shows Off Son Kiyan’s First Tattoo

by

La La Anthony has been in the news quite a bit as of late. After all, she is a figure that a lot of people are invested in. Moreover, Anthony made some surprising comments about creatives and working for free. Essentially, she believes that creatives should stop worrying about how much they are being paid. Overall, she thinks exposure is the way to create a sustainable career. For the most part, this is a very controversial take that not everyone will agree with. In this economy, many creatives would much rather get paid as much as humanly possible as opportunities can be few and far between.

Regardless, Anthony is doing quite well for herself, even despite the recent criticism. Additionally, she has a great family life and is more than proud of her 16-year-old son Kiyan. Kiyan is a hooper who is in the midst of following in his father’s footsteps. He is playing basketball at a high level and has even gone toe-to-toe with Bronny and Bryce James. He recently got to celebrate his 16th birthday, and to help him celebrate, La La allowed him to get a tattoo.

La La Anthony Reveals Her Son’s Tattoo

In the Instagram post up above from The Shade Room, you can see La La’s Instagram story in which she wrote “I finally let him get a tattoo for his 16th birthday.” The tattoo was showcased in Kiyan’s most recent Instagram post where he showed off the ankle tat. Overall, it is fairly minimalist as the Old English script says “Creator Of My Own Reality.” It is definitely a nice message that Kiyan will continue to follow as he pushes himself to become a great basketball player.

Ultimately, there is no telling what Kiyan’s ceiling will be. However, it is known that he already has an offer to play for Syracuse. This is because his father Carmelo also played for the Orange, and even won them a National Championship. It’s a pretty significant passing of the torch, although only time will tell whether or not he decides to play there.

La La Anthony Advises Artists To Take Any Opportunity, Even If It Won’t Pay

by

La La Anthony, whose real name is Alani, has been recently trending due to her advice to aspiring artists. Anthony is a successful TV actress and personality, who is well-known for hosting several shows on VHS1. Many fans praise the actress for her success and work ethic, as well as her talent. However, a video has resurfaced where La La Anthony speaks candidly about her thoughts on making it as an upcoming creative. In 2022, the actress attended an interview with radio host Angela Yee.

In her interview, Anthony spoke earnestly about her career, and how she got to where she is now. Her advice and opinions left a lot of people with conflicting opinions. It is obvious that the actress values having a good work ethic above all else. At one point in the interview she states, “I never took jobs because of money. I took jobs because I loved them. I took jobs because I wanted to work with certain people.” Due to her approach, La La Anthony feels that the money came naturally to her after gaining a lot of experience in the industry.

La La Anthony Did Not Focus On Money In Her Early Days

In her interview, Anthony explains that she feels a lot of people lately are throwing away great opportunities because of the pay. She states, “I hear people all day in my world today like ‘you know, I’m taking that they only offering this’ and they’ll throw away a great acting opportunity.” Now that the actress has made a name and fortune for herself, many people are in agreement with her statements. However, some people believe that she sounds tone-deaf, given the current economic state.

Many people believe that no one should have to work for free, especially if they are providing a service. While it is important to have a good work ethic, it’s also equally as important to understand one’s worth. However, Anthony’s advice may be directed more toward those who are just getting into the industry as opposed to those who are on the rise. Unpaid internships are not uncommon, especially in the creative world. However, there has been a rise in young adults fighting against the idea of unpaid internships. Regardless of how people feel about her advice, La La Anthony will continue to stress the importance of seizing opportunities. Stay tuned to see if she will stand by her past statements.

La La Anthony’s Latest Instagram Looks Are Seriously Skin Tight

by

La La Anthony is at an interesting phase in her life. Approaching her 41st birthday, the social media star divorced her husband, Carmelo Anthony, in 2021. The two share one child, 16-year-old Kiyan. Besides parenting him, the entertainer fills her time with acting on shows like BMF and Power, hanging out with her endless roster of celebrity BFFs, and getting glammed up to show off her impressive wardrobe on Instagram.

This past week, she’s been sharing plenty of blessings with her followers, most recently wearing a skin-tight trompe-l’œil jumpsuit made to look like a Canadian tuxedo plastered on her curvy figure. “Me again,” Anthony wrote in the caption alongside a hair flip emoji. Her usually-blonde hair was styled in extra long, dark brown braids, and she completed her outfit with a fuzzy pink purse on her arm, as well as pointy denim heels. In the comments, Chlöe has already shown love, writing, “OMG I gasped! So gorgeous,” to her friend.

Back in the Big Apple

Elsewhere in the replies, some have been clowning the New York native’s shoe of choice. “So we letting the onesie with the heels slide, huh?” one person asked in Anthony’s replies. “Gimme dat one piece when ya done,” a pal of the media personality begged. Clearly, the jury is divided on her latest NYC outfit picture, but that doesn’t mean her other looks haven’t been turning heads this week.

A few days back, the multi-talent donned a curve-hugging purple and pink shin-length dress featuring plenty of tiny stars throughout the fabric. She opted to wear heels this time too, pulling on knee-high blue metallic boots that created an interesting contrast with the garment. Her never-ending inches were styled in the same braids, this time pulled back into a ponytail.

La La Anthony’s Body is Bodying

“La La & The City,” her caption read this time. In the comments, it seems many are making reference to her performance in the latest episode of BMF. “Damn that scene making me want to shoot my shot,” one thirsty Instagram user wrote. Another added, “Terry one lucky man.” While Anthony’s latest acting performance is receiving plenty of praise, one of her costars hasn’t been so lucky.

Yung Miami made her debut on the STARZ series last night (March 9). She revealed via social media that she was excited for the episode to finally air, though users have been aggressively clowning her over her acting. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

La La Anthony & Kim Kardashian Rap Ice Spice’s “In Ha Mood” For TikTok: Watch

by

As she steps into her 40s as a single woman, Kim Kardashian seems to be having more fun than ever before. Following a months-long fling with Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson, she’s been focusing on herself and her four children – not to mention her countless other daily commitments. Even with such a busy schedule, one thing that the reality star has consistently made time for is filming TikTok videos with her eldest daughter, North West.

The 9-year-old’s profile on the social media site was a source of contention between her parents for some time, but now, the young girl is free to express herself creatively on the platform. There are restrictions in place, such as a comment ban on their post. Also, North can’t scroll freely through her “For You” page. Still, she and Kardashian have amassed an impressive 14.7 million followers thanks to their heartwarming and hilarious videos.

In the page’s most recent upload, it’s the 42-year-old who takes the spotlight, along with an appearance from her close friend, La La Anthony. As (presumably) North records, her mom lipsyncs along to Ice Spice’s “In Ha Mood,” which has been a TikTok favourite as of late. “I tried dippin’, he beg me to stay,” she mouths along. For the next bars, she reveals the BMF actress on FaceTime, also rapping along.

“In the party, he just wanna rump / Big boobs and the butt stay plump,” the song continues as Kardashian and her “baddie friend” take turns trading lines. Their timing certainly wasn’t perfect, as many have pointed out online, but it’s the thought that counts. Of course, this isn’t the only shoutout Spice has gotten from North and her mom this year.

Back in February, Kim Kardashian and her kiddo showed off their lipsyncing skills to yet another of the Bronx baddie’s songs. Following her debut Like..? EP, Spice teamed up with foreign songstress Pinkpantheress for the remix of her hit single, “Boy’s a liar.” It’s understandably been a massive hit on TikTok, with millions of people using the collaboration to soundtrack their videos.

Elsewhere, North also drew an impressive portrait of the famous redhead, which she subsequently shared on social media. Plenty of positive feedback came in from fans, as well as a response from Ice Spice herself. Read what the rising rap star had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

BMF’s First Lady Tonesa Welch Calls Out Series For Making Character A “Pedophile”

by

The dramatized stories of the Black Mafia Family have captivated audiences on BMF, but Tonesa Welch has a bone to pick. On the show, La La Anthony portrays Markisha, assumed to be based on Welch, but according to the hailed “First Lady of BMF,” a plotline grossly misrepresented real-life events. She once dated Terry Flenory, one of the founders of Detroit’s infamous BMF crime organization. In an Instagram post, she detailed Markisha being intimately involved with a 17-year-old high school student on the show.

“WTF who wrote this part of the Story,” said Welch. “Terri 17 I’m 26 years my Husband a king pen but I’m having sex with a 17 year old who’s supposedly still in high school. So before Terri goes on the run he comes to my job, its close for the day we sneak in the janitors room and have Sex. I guess he’s to young to have an apartment he’s still in high school or lives with his parents. I guess they have Markisha looking like a pedophile.”

“If This was reverse and Markisha was 17 years old y’all be trying to put him in jail,” Welch added. “I never kiss this man until he was i25 years old. This is crazy 🤦🏾🗣 This is what happens when you hire the wrong representative. Please no more DM’s don’t ask me why I can’t explain it. But half y’all believe this sick shtt. Markisha character is shown in bad likeness I don’t agree with the timeline or the character traits. This show pretends it’s not me but everybody in Detroit or half the country know it’s me. Who else work at the insurance company?”

Welch was featured on BET+’s American Gangster: Trap Queens to detail her story. She has advocated for prison reform and has used her experiences on the wrong side of the law to help others in her activism. In 2021, Welch sat down with Sheen Magazine to revisit that time in her life. She shared how her crimes impacted her loved ones.

“Learning how much my lifestyle hurt and took away from my family was truly eye-opening,” Welch admitted at the time. “Seeing my son and nephews go to prison was incredibly hurtful. I brought them into that lifestyle, and it was all they knew. Even though they don’t blame me, I truly believe that they would have had better choices if I had gone a different route.”

La La Anthony & Jason Lee Discuss His Coverage Of Carmelo Anthony’s Alleged Twins With Another Woman

by

When mistakes are made in the media world, it’s important for them to be upright with those they misrepresented. La La Anthony and Jason Lee spoke about the time that Lee covered news of La La’s ex Carmelo Anthony allegedly fathering twins with another woman. Moreover, Lee spoke about how her words after his story went out really affected him and his view on her story. “Lala Anthony and I talked about the time my team dropped an exclusive that impacted her and her family and how we handled it,” Lee wrote via Instagram. “Often times the ‘messy’ narrative has been painted about me because of the world we report on. Some celebrities choose to participate in the process and others don’t. This is an example of how these type of relationships can work. Thanks @lala for seeing me!”

“The crossroad where I thought ‘La La’s not going to be our friend anymore’ was when I broke that the story about the twins. When you called me, I thought you were about to cuss me out and go Brooklyn. She said to me- I will never forget and this is when I fell in love with you. You said, ‘You gon’ write whatever you gon’ write, and none of that has anything to do with me. Just think about my son when you do that.’ I was like ‘Oh, shit!’ I don’t follow all the stories, because I can’t follow everything. But that one I made sure I stayed on top of to make sure that we handled it delicately. That was some real grown woman mother… Like, ‘I understand you have a job.’ Where does that come from?” Lee asked La La during their conversation.

“Well, one, I want to go back to that,” the 40-year-old replied. “I know I’ve said ‘thank you’ before but I want to thank you again. Anyone in this room will say I’ve told that story to everyone that works with me. What stood out about you to me is that that was a very traumatic experience in my life, a very traumatic experience to my son. Hearing things, whether true or not true. And to be able to have made that call, and you respected what I said and understood that. I’m a mom to a teenager that has to see those things. I always appreciated and respected that.”

“No, of course,” the Hollywood Unlocked reporter said. “Where does that presence come from? I mean I met your mom, she’s amazing. You know, Mom’s ain’t playing, she over there looking at me like ‘Keep them questions cute.’” While everyone in the room laughed, La La’s words honored her mother. “Yeah, probably my mom. My mom is actually super calm, like, I’m the turnt one. My mom is calm. Ma’, don’t you always say ‘I don’t know where you came from’?” Check out the full interview below and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on La La Anthony.

La La Anthony Praises Lil Baby For Volunteering On The Day His Album Dropped

by

He’s sitting atop a mountain of successes, but Lil Baby makes sure to take time for his community. Hip Hop is plagued with allegations of being only focused on materialistic gain. While some of that may be true, the culture regularly supports initiatives to help those in need.

La La Anthony and Da’Vinchi visited The Jason Lee Show, where they discussed working together or BMF and facing off against dating rumors. Also, while there, Lee brought up Lil Baby, and Anthony took a moment to acknowledge the community work the rapper does behind the scenes.

“I wanna say something about Lil Baby,” Anthony began. “I have a prison reform group, and he came, and he talked to the kids at Rikers Island in my prison reform group. The day his album dropped. I thought that was so special that he did that the day his album dropped.”

She continued: “He loves to give back.”

Lee admitted that he doesn’t listen to much of the newer generation of Rap. However, he’s a big fan of Baby “because of how he gives back to the community.”

Anthony added, “Absolutely. And he really showed up for the kids.”

As those kind words circulate online, Baby is fresh off a Saturday Night Live performance. Over the weekend, he took to the sketch comedy show’s stage to give a rendition of “Forever” and “California Breeze.” The episode featured host Michael B. Jordan whose appearance sparked conversations of its own after he seemingly cracked jokes about his breakup with Lori Harvey.

La La Anthony Reflects On Love Life, Marrying Carmelo Anthony At A Young Age

by

Following La La Anthony’s separation from her ex-husband, Carmelo, her love life has been a hot topic in the media. The actress has a wide-spanning circle of female friends throughout Hollywood. This puts her in contact with some of the industry’s most eligible bachelors.

However, the BMF actress has maintained her single status for some time now. Much to fans’ pleasure, she often talks about her dating struggles in interviews. While on Call Her Daddy, she vented about the abundance of young men sliding into her DMs. More recently, she told TMZ that she felt as though no one wants to date her.

In that same conversation with the gossip site, Anthony made it clear that the 22-year-olds attempting to hit on her don’t have much of a chance. Still, she did quote Aaliyah, flirtatiously saying, “age ain’t nothing but a number.”

With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, it looks as though the mother of one may have to turn this year into a Galentine’s affair. She sat down with The Shade Room for an interview earlier this week. At the time, she candidly discussed some of her relationship regrets.

“I started off really young in my relationship. [I] maybe would have tried to [take] my time a little bit more and learn more about love and partnership and marriage,” Anthony began. “And kind of not just jump right into such a heavy, heavy relationship so quickly.”

When asked about her “type” in the same conversation, the 40-year-old shared that she’s not interested in keeping herself in a box. “I want to be open. Like I don’t want to just have a type,” she shared. “I want to be open to maybe a type that I wouldn’t think was my type or something. That’s not the norm that people would expect from me. I think when you are dating, you do have to be open. Because if you have this super checklist, right, then I don’t think you’re gonna find anybody.”

For Anthony, romantic highlights in a man are a great personality, strong communication, and honesty.

In other news, Anthony revealed in another recent interview that she once had aspirations of pursuing a rap career. They obviously never transpired, though she did reveal that her entire top five favourites list is covered by just one artist.
