La La Anthony calls herself son's No. 1 fan but embarrasses him on his senior night

Given the love of mothers, it is fairly reasonable to say that sometimes they can go overboard to make it special for their children. Once in a while, it can also come at a cost, as it did for Kiyan Anthony.

On his high school senior night, Kiyan and the Long Island Lutheran faced the IMG Academy on Saturday, Feb. 15. After the game, the mother of the Syracuse commit made sure she made the day special for Kiyan, but he didn't seem too impressed.

In the caption of the picture that La La posted featuring Kiyan and ex-husband, the Hollywood actress revealed that she had embarrassed her son by putting balloons in the gym.

"Forever ur #1 fan...MOM, I embarrassed @kiyananthony with all these balloons in the gym for his senior night. Love you so much!" La La wrote in the caption.
