"Stop having girls hand me numbers for you" - Carmelo Anthony's ex La La Anthony jokes about challenges of handling Kiyan Anthony’s rising fame

Carmelo Anthony's ex La La Anthony is gaining more clarity about her son Kiyan Anthony's rising fame in the country. But it seems like she is getting clarity about something very particular; her son getting famous among ladies.

La La recently posted a video on her Instagram story, revealing her son's fame among girls. She was seen hilariously scolding her son because girls were apparently giving their numbers to her to give to her son.

"Stop having girls give me your numbers at games. Stop having girls hand me your numbers at your games," La La was heard saying in the background with a paper in her hand. "Why they giving me numbers to give it to you during games?"

"I don't know bro. I don't know," shy Kiyan Anthony replied with a smile on his face.
