Carmelo Anthony’s son Kiyan Anthony reveals a fan experience gone bad where the police had to be involved

Kiyan Anthony and Angel Reese are all over the internet. The son of NBA star Carmelo Anthony has gained fans from all corners after his conversation this week with the WNBA rookie. Talking to Reese on her podcast, "Unapologetically Angel," Kiyan Anthony opened up about his first-hand experience with dealing with the public.

While recalling to his craziest experience, he said:

"I was on a bench during the timeout when somebody tried to throw a water bottle at me and it hit my teammate. So like, throwing it, like toss it and try to hit me in the back but it hit my teammate. (19:50)

“We was like, 'What happened?,' then they kicked him out, the police came, it was a whole big thing. So like, little stuff that people just be, I don't know, like some people just be crazy, to be honest, Kiyan added.

Fortunately, the altercation did not escalate any further.

Kiyan Anthony's appearance on Reese's podcast saga is getting a lot of attention online. La La Anthony, the ex-wife of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony, took to Instagram to express her approval of the viral podcast episode.

Angel Reese warns Kiyan Anthony to be careful

Angel Reese has taken on a unique sister-like role for Kiyan Anthony, and her advice was tailored specifically to the challenges he faces as a young athlete about to step into the college spotlight. As Anthony prepares for his transition from the Class of 2025 to potentially the NBA, he will face the challenges of fame and independence, particularly when it comes to navigating relationships.

During the podcast, the two delved into Anthony’s dating life, where he opened up about a misstep that caused friction with his parents. Angel quickly seized the moment to stress the importance of caution, not just in basketball but in his personal life:

“You need to be careful when you go to the league. This is coming from sis right,” Reese said, reminding him of the fame he is poised to experience in the future as he would step up to the NBA. (23:26)

Anthony is lucky in that he also has guidance from his mother, La La Anthony, whose strong influence plays a pivotal role in his decisions regarding relationships. Their close-knit dynamic allows Anthony to consider his mother's opinions when it comes to dating. He openly acknowledged that if La La expresses any disapproval of a girl, he takes her words seriously.
