Carmelo Anthony and LaLa Vazquez, Plus 1

Posted by Bossip Staff

LaLa, Carmelo, and Kiyan

LaLa discusses the living situation and raising her son with Carmelo Anthony:

“I love my home and I’m happy here, but it gets a little overwhelming when it comes to decorating,” says LaLa. “At night, when I’m home by myself, this big house gets kind of scary and I lock me and my son in my room.” Although there are six bedrooms-one of which is reserved for Anthony’s clothes-it’s the couple’s private quarters that LaLa considers her safe haven; she uses candles to create a serene ambiance.

The couple entertains their guests with a nine-seater home theater and a pool table in the basement. Down below is also a wine cellar, where Anthony loves to hang out. There’s also one room reserved only for her fiancé’s sneakers.

One would expect to see maids running the household, but LaLa says, contrary to popular belief, she’s pretty domesticated. “I clean my own house. I don’t wait for the maid to come,” she says. “And I cook for my family. It might not be a ten-course meal, but I have my specialties like mac ‘n’ cheese, chicken and my world-famous lasagna.”

Awww….that little fella is a cutie pie and we sure love to see this kind of activity from young people. Well, LaLa does kind of have Melo by half a decade, but whatever. Good for them.

  10. UKnoWhoIAm

    I was thinking the same thing kahm. Why is Essence glorifying the baby mamahood and baby daddy hood. I ain’t judging because it appears to be working for them, but to do a feature story..c’mon!

  11. di-my-e

    cute family


  12. i hope carmelo dont go out like kobe

  13. da darkness

    Melo has a kid by her bossip? Or is he the step dad? Polo a strong statement in Hip Hop.


  14. @PURPPLE

    What’s up? Did you see your “man” had a good game last night? 33 points in one quarter. Tied the all time NBA record. I thought of you when I saw that.

  15. Raquel26

    @PURPPLE:

    I agree. He does have a really good “girlfriend”. lol I hate the word “wifey”. Its like you’re playing house.

    Anyway…he probably doesnt recognize what he has though. You know men….they are always seeking something else, something better. They cant be happy with a good woman. Hopefully he will marry her and make her a WIFE for real and stop playing games. Thats the reason most men dont get mattied is because they want to keep options open and it makes it easier to leave when you’re not tied down.

    No wonder marriage is like saying “razor and penis” in the same sentence to a man. They freak the f_ck out!

  16. PURPPLE

    lol Joey…me neither..Kobe fine azz fucked up unforgivably!

  17. Aunt Viv

    Lil’ man is so cute!

  18. Raquel26

    *married….dayum, can I spell today??????

    Don’t be hatin on Kobe dawg. He the GOAT of B-ball my nigga.

  20. Nina Knows

    Whut up Purpple, you been M.I.A. homegirl!

    They seem to have a nice family. Nice home. Nice Life.

  21. PURPPLE

    LOL..no man i didn’t see that but if you thought of me when you was watching my man play im honored.

  22. PURPPLE

    Nina Neeeeeen! Girl they done officially blocked a sista from bossip at work!!!!

  23. Encyclopedia Brown

    What fcukin nationality are they and why isn’t N. UNDERWOO in the top 10?

  24. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    Good for Melo:

    He is a perfect example of a good man and that a good man does not need to be married to be a good father to his child.. I have always felt like when people say a man HAS to get married to be a good father it’s as if giving him a pass NOT to be a good father just because he is not married.. There is too much giving the black male an excuse to abandon his children within our race.. It’s time to stop that and hold all black fathers accountable to how they raise their children…

  25. Nyah Molineaux

    That is a cute family picture, god bless them all.

  26. Nina Knows

    Damn Raquel26 you just made me think of something, There not married are they? I mean why not, shit they’ve doen everything thing else.

    I dont think she needs to be made an honest women, but he might need to made an honest man. *wink*


  27. Good job! I like seeing families together…

  28. PURPPLE

    lol Raquel i feel you,

    Im thinking some people over think this marriage thing though cause alot of times when a man is a good man and he feel like he got his options open alot of time he doesn’t take them. So yeah being married by law scares alot of black men(thats all i know so thats what ill talk about) but they will be with you and take care of you and a lot of times be good to you without being married. If he’s doing that I dont think itll ever make a difference if they get married as long as they both are happy. if they do…heh, good for them but marriage starts before you to court or sign a piece of paper that says your married. Marriage is a state of mind.

  29. PURPPLE

    O Shyt go head SMDH, a post i can 100% cosign from you today.

  30. Rottielover

    I agree with you UKnoWhoIAm—what they do is their business, but do we have to glorify that fact that he has not committed to the “family” that he has created– I’m sure she’d say “YES!” get a prenup and be done with it-stop playing Melo!


  31. @Man, I just don’t care–>>> no doubt,i luv kobes game,,i just hate how he got caught in that colorado bullshit

    @PURPPLE–>>> lol i hope he learned his lesson

    Nina Knows–>> good morning!

  32. qc704

    they are a cute family…
    that baby needs a haircut tho…

    i thought melo had a haircut, dont he know that JUMBO cornrows are played out?!?!?!?

  33. PURPPLE

    lol@ he need to be made an honest man nina..ill keep the bmore gossip in bmore because I have no reason to try and out my man but shhhyyyt, if he aint honest before the marriage he aint gonna be honest after.

  34. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    “I was thinking the same thing kahm. Why is Essence glorifying the baby mamahood and baby daddy hood. I ain’t judging because it appears to be working for them, but to do a feature story..c’mon!”

    Looks to me like they are glorifying to responsible adults raising their child TOGETHER!! Why do they have to be married to do that?!?? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE MARRIED TO BE GOOD PARENTS TO YOUR CHILDREN and the excuses need to stop. Black males abandoning their children is one of the most, if not the most, serious issues facing the black community. It’s time to stop giving him exucses to not raise his children and when you give him the ability to fall back on “well I wasn’t married to her so I aint gotta raise no kids” it’s really just adding to the problem.. It’s time to stop making excuses and for black males to - lol “step up their game - and be better fathers to their children, like Carmelo..

  35. Aunt Viv

    Co-sign SMDH. Good points!

  36. PURPPLE

    Joey Kobe aint learn shyt…he’s just “chillin” at this moment..Kobe ego can never be deflated

    Where in the world does anyone get the idea that he is not committed to his family because he aint married…..

  37. Lady Architect (Everyone suddenly thinks Architect means instant millions? Those Xmas lists are in the trash!)

    i CAN SEE THE OPINIONS ON BOTH SIDES AND IT MAKES SENSE. I HONESTLY THINK WHAT’S THE POINT OF PUTTING THE RING ON THE FINGER AND NOT CARRYING OUT THE REST. IS IT JUST FOR SAY SO REASONS OR WAS IT TO KEEP HER SATISFIED FOR NOW? ME PERSONALLY I DON’T LIKE TO ROLE PLAY. I DON’T WANNA PLAY HOUSE OR PLAY WIFE. I’D RATHER BE IT. SOMETHING SERIOUS GOES ON IN HIS LIFE SHE VIRTUALLY HAS NO SAY IN IT BECAUSE LEGALLY SHE’S NOT PART OF HIM. TO ME SHE’S NO MORE THAN A BABY MOMMA. NOT EVERY BABY MOMMA DOESN’T HAVE THE FATHER OF THE CHILD AROUND. WHAT’S MAKES HER ANY DIFFERENT TO BE IN A MAGAZINE? PLUS I’LL NEVER FORGET HOW SHE STRAIGHT DITCHED THE NORMAL HAR WORKING GUY FOR THE MULTI MILLIONAIRE.

  38. Nina Knows

    Purpple.. your right, it does start before you sign the paper. Actually I’m not a big fan of marriage myself (not the manufactured version) but when that “much” is at stake I would have something in writing. Marriage is not all about love, its also a good business decision for both parties. Not like someone is taking from another, but just making sure it all goes well.

    What’s funny is you never hear anything about Gene Simmions (from kiss) and Shannon, he’s been with her for over 25yrs and have NOT married that woman. Their kids are old and grown now. They didnt need a piece of paper to stick around and alot of other people dont either. I feel you gonna do what your gonna do anyway.

  39. Raquel26

    @PURPPLE:

    Yep, its definitely a state of mind. Totally agree. They look and seem happy and he seems like a good man thus far. Keep it up Melo!

    Lala is a good pick and she doesnt seem like a bird.

  40. Nina Knows

    Purpple… I know babe.. that’s why I said that! lol

  41. typhani209

    I agree, marriage is a state of mind as well as a conscious state of being followed up with action. It seems as if he’s doing right by her and the child, so good for him.

    HOWEVER< the bible does say that a man and a woman should get MARRIED (rather than burn!), and you can’t argue with what God says. He may have bought the house and pay the bills, but he will still be held accountable before Him for not doing the right thing. Eternity is a whole lot longer than this lifetime and everyone needs to realize that keeping your “options open” is not what God intended for you, nor is it worth eternal damnation!!


  42. @PURPPLE
    “LOL..no man i didn’t see that but if you thought of me when you was watching my man play im honored.”
    _______________________________________________________________

    Yeah. I thought of you. You be havin me rollin on here.

    Next time you see Ashanti, “honor” me and think of me. You should say to yourself: “My boy ‘Man, I just don’t care’ would plow her to death.” LOL.

  43. mzsweetface

    That interview is ok I guess but what everyone really wants to know is when is the wedding? Will they ever answer that question?? It seems like marriage is not a priorty anymore.

  44. Nina Knows

    whut up Joey!! Yhea Kobe got game, but apparently he’s not too damn smart off the court. lol

  45. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    “O Shyt go head SMDH, a post i can 100% cosign from you today.”

    This is one of the BLACK MAN vs BLACK MALE things I am always talking about… Melo is a good man. He is out here doing what alot of these so called rich athletes won’t even do.. Do you see how many athletes are in trouble for non payment of child support or not in their kids lives when there is absolutely no reason to not be?!? Now when a BLACK MALE makes a baby and abandons it he is looked down upon, and rightfully so. However when a good BLACK MAN is doing the right thing and being a good dad you mean to tell me he gets dogged to? That’s not fair to the BLACK MAN doing what he is supposed to do.. A man does not have to be married to love the woman he is with and be a good father to his children.. You do not owe a woman aring because you impregnate her. That’s one of the reasons divorce is so high now - people getting married for the wrong reasons or because a child is on the way. Forced marriages cause bitterness and often end the marriage brutally and scars the children too.. Leave this man be.. Him, Lala and their baby are looking happy and very well.. It’s really noone elses business how they choose to co-exist.. Melo is a GOOD BLACK MAN and that’s fine by me!!

  46. Frog-a-licious

    Awww…. these pics are so cute. He’s adorable.

  47. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    “HOWEVER< the bible does say that a man and a woman should get MARRIED (rather than burn!), and you can’t argue with what God says. ”

    God also says divorce and fornecation are sins many times through the bible.. How many people abide by that?!?!

  48. PURPPLE

    Right right Nina I def feel the business end of things….im with you on the manufactured version of marriage and I hear when people talk about the business end of things but if your man cares about you he will square you away and make sure you will be taken care of, you dont have to be legally married to someone to make them your beneficiary or put them in your will or make arrangements for them to be taken care of. So really, you don’t need the law to designate who gets what, yall can take care of that personally, then she got his child so the child will get $$ if anything happens to melo and him and La aren’t married. He could put a couple mill in a safety deposit box belonging to LaLa or some other form of escrow or something if they smart and dont want to get married, trust if a man wanna take care of you he gonna do it regardless of being married or the law.


  49. @PURPPLE
    “Im thinking some people over think this marriage thing though cause alot of times when a man is a good man and he feel like he got his options open alot of time he doesn’t take them. So yeah being married by law scares alot of black men(thats all i know so thats what ill talk about) but they will be with you and take care of you and a lot of times be good to you without being married. If he’s doing that I dont think itll ever make a difference if they get married as long as they both are happy. if they do…heh, good for them but marriage starts before you to court or sign a piece of paper that says your married. Marriage is a state of mind.”
    ____________________________________________________________

    That’s some true shit right there. I like that saying “Marriage starts before the papers are signed.” That’s for real.

    Oh yeah. Kobe probably still doing a lot of dirt too. That’s my nigga but you know that he is used to getting what he wants without consequences. I can’t honestly say I would be better in his shoes though.

  50. Talley-B (call me Steel)

    co sign with SMDH….hey, wait a minute, did i just say that????

    oh well, and my boy melo went off last night. 33 in the third quarter, tying an NBA record for most points in one quarter with George Gervin. my boy does not get the recognition he deserves, melo is the truth, don’t believe me??? watch him play….

    and a major life plus, him and lala are taking care of their responsibility. now although they are not married, they are still a strong family, and thats what you want to raise children around. a lot of times these days, the kid comes up in one-parent households, and do not have a supportive father or mother in his/her life. it’s good to see that melo and lala have decided to make sure this doesnt happen to thier child, or at least so far they have….


  51. PURPPLE–>> i agree with you 100%

  52. PURPPLE

    Raquel26 i cosign that!

  53. Knottmyhair

    I feel La La on the big house thing…I live in a big home also and at night when my husband is away…I feel like a prisinor in my own home…i take the kids and we lock up in my room.

  54. PURPPLE

    lol…u got dat man ….man, i just dont care = Ashanti=plowin her to death….got it programmed!


  55. @Nina Knows

    just chillin….xoxox’s to u!

  56. pm

    She must have did something or acted a certain way that would make him not want to marry her.

  57. Illuminate Truth

    Melo dropped 33 points in ONE quarter last night…..damn.

  58. qc704

    FYI TO ALL THE BIBLE THUMPERS ON HERE:

    going to heaven is not based upon whether or not we follow Gods word completely (which we should try to do) going to heaven is based on SALVATION-ACCEPTING AND BELIEVEING THAT JESUS AND GOD ARE 1 AND THE JESUS DIED FOR YOU!!!

    mmmk..wit that being said can anyone answer this:

    my frind and his girl bn together 4 5 yrs…she use to get crazy mad bc thy didnt have a title (gf/bf) so finally he was like aiight.
    NOW he wanna marry her, but she doesnt see the point, she said husband and wife are just a TITLE..can som1 plz explain her logic?!?!

  59. PURPPLE

    gotdaymit SMDH i can’t disagree with you nodda bit!


  60. Cute couple…are they married…I don’t remember hearing that…

    Anyway, how long will Carmelo have the cornrows? *sigh* I thought Iverson had that on lock!

  61. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    “Joey Kobe aint learn shyt…he’s just “chillin” at this moment..Kobe ego can never be deflated”

    Kobe is a perfect example of what I am saying here.. Everyone is like GET MARRIED - well Kobe did get married and what happened to him?? He clearly wasn’t ready to and his career suffered and could have been ended for it!! Now he ran out and married that young girl cause her mother was threatening legal issues with her age and their sexual activities and look what happened?!? If Kobe were ready to be married I doubt he would have been up in that hotel room with that teenage white girl!! You cannot make a man get married for the wrong reasons because when he does he always ends up doing dumb shit - just like Kobe..

  62. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    “She must have did something or acted a certain way that would make him not want to marry her.”

    Let the ignorance begin:

  63. Nina Knows

    HOWEVER< the bible does say that a man and a woman should get MARRIED (rather than burn!), and you can’t argue with what God says
    _________________________________________________
    Well considering a white man wrote the bible, I would say people should do what’s right in their heart. Aint nobody going to hell or gonna “burn” for not putting a ring on it. But something bad might happen if you do, and dont take care of your responsibilties. I dont know what got people more confused beyonce or the bible.

    oh shit, I know its coming…. lol. so what!

  64. Cass

    I’m so tired of celebrities parading their children around with their boyfriends and girlfriends like it’s OKAY! When is someone going to celebrate MARRIAGE before children….Thank God for Obama..Perhaps he will be a role model for the hood.

  65. always knew

    @SMDH- Hey sis! Glad to see you still around. I like the positive thoughts, keep it coming!… I mainly admire that they are raising their child together, as any couple with kids should try to share responsibility of raising their families, it shouldn’t just be on the woman….Today is a great day!………


  66. co- sign with SMDH… but then again i got jumped on for co-signing but eff that stupid mirror person with the 101 different screen names … smdh is always right as far as im concerned and anybody dont like it too bad . I aint looking for no response just giving my comment like thats what this board is for. Dowsnt take marriage to be a good father and be there to raise your kids!

  67. PURPPLE

    Man Kobe fate as an infinity azzhole was sealed when he was on that MTV..you think you know but you have no idea true life thing where they take you through a day in the celebrities life and Kobe was on there when he first got married, he went to Japan or somewhere and the whole time he kept braggin on his marriage then holla to the camera, yeah yall see this ring, that means yall groupies aint got nothing coming or something like that…i said in less than a year WATCH kobe be caught cheating…and daym if he aint cheat times 100 about a year later!

  68. BEATIFULBLKGODESS

    MARRIAGE IZ SOME BULLSHIT ANYWAYZ CUZ DEEZ NIGGAZ STILL GON DO WHAT THEY WANNA DO REGARDLESS! I MEAN I KNOW YOU’RE SUPPOSE TO GET MARRIED AND STUFF BUT IT’S NOT REQUIRED EVEN IF YOU GOT A KID TOGETHER. MY MOTHER’S BEEN MARRIED FOR 2O YEARS TO A MAN WHO DOESN’T EVEN LOVE HER AND SHE REFUSES TO LEAVE HIM CUZ HE’S A GOOD “CHRISTIAN” MAN. SHE LOVES HIM BUT HE TREATS HER LIKE SHIT! SO I’LL BE DAMNED IF I EVER GET MARRIED CUZ I REALLY FEEL LIKE MARRIAGE IS A BUSINESS DEAL AND IT’S MORE ABOUT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE OUTSIDE WIT DEM RINGS AN SHIT! BUT IT AIN’T ABOUT LOVE AN HAPINESS NO MORE WE’VE LOST THAT ASPECT OF IT AND TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE MARRYING FOR CONVIENCE AND THAT’S NOT COOL!!!

  69. as seen on t.v.

    Yes it is nice to see a man who is taking responsibility for his family and doing right by his child’s mother, however if something were to happen to him….LaLa would have no claim to anything there are more reasons for marriage than just to say you have a piece of paper…I don’t know if I could be with someone who thinks Im good enough to sleep with but not good enough to marry…

  70. PURPPLE

    I never hear Melo getting the basketball props he deserves, maybe his performance last night will get it going…

  71. Nina Knows

    Purpple and SMDH… making good sense ladies.

    Purp, I agree with you on that one too, it dont take a piece of paper for him to do what he need to do. I guess that was for the cop-outs that need a judge to tell em how to take care of theirs.

  72. PURPPLE

    LOL Nina,hey im just gonna go with… if your married and you mean it…Great! If your not married and you mean it..Great also!

  73. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    I’m so tired of celebrities parading their children around with their boyfriends and girlfriends like it’s OKAY! When is someone going to celebrate MARRIAGE before children….Thank God for Obama..Perhaps he will be a role model for the hood.”

    Well I choose to celebrate the BLACK MAN being responsible and being a good father to his child especially in a culture where alot of brothas with his money and stature are not! There out there flying through all the white women they can while making their childrens mothers fight them in court for what their children deserve…

    And its interesting that you should bring up Obama cuase his parents were not married, in fact his fahter abandoned him - yet look how he turned out!! This man turned out better than the children of some married couples do!!

  74. PURPPLE

    SMDH I agree, if you force a man to get married, u aint got shyt commin….

  75. Nina Knows

    Purpple.. damn I remember that stupid shit on MTV too.

  76. Toni Montana

    “they are in a committed relationship”
    What the hell is more of a commitment than marriage?

    i’m not hatin i’m not married and i have a child w/someone. people make personal choices about that kind of thing.

    But i hate it when ppl say oh it doesnt matter they are commited. aint nothin more commited than signing on the line. Her man (and mine) could call tomorrow and say to have her stuff out in 30 days, hes now “committed” to someone else. Marriage is serious (i know i aint ready) and its definitely NOT the same as co-habitatin.

  77. BEATIFULBLKGODESS

    AS FOR CARMELO AND LALA, I DON’T THINK HE EVER GON MARRY HER AND WHY SHOULD HE? HE ALREADY GOT EVERYTHING HE NEED AND IF THEY HAPPY THEN THEY DON’T NEED TO GET MARRIED CUZ I DON’T CARE WHAT NOBODY SAY AFTER THE WEDDING AND THE PRENUP NIGGA’S START TRIPPIN!!! NIGGA’S START GETTIN THAT TRAPPED FEELIN AND START FEELIN OLD, THAT’S WHY MOST MARRIAGES DON’T LAST!

  78. PURPPLE

    Nina im glad you started the Bible saga cause i was just about to ask….So what if you dont believe in the bible????

    cyber bff be in my head!

  79. Talley-B (call me Steel)

    the bible does clearly states that to not be married, yet to live together is a sin. to fornicate, and to shack is a sin. however, marriage is a LASTING bond between man and woman, and divorce is not to be upheld by god’s word. so, in a sense, you are choosing the lesser of two evils. im saying that anyone is judging, but to call lala and melo out on not being married, you are overlooking the fact that they are still abiding by god’s word, and being a family and raising their child-together. everyone sins, and although god looks down upon it, he knows that we will do it. he stills has unconditional love for us, so why is it that we can’t have unconditional love for one another. to the people on here that say that essence is glorifying children being birth out of wedlock and shacking, they aren’t. they are trying to display the RIGHT way to raise a family. even the examples in the bible (david and paul, for example) professed that their savior is Jesus Christ, and they had righteous hearts. but their behavior was not always lined up with gods word. yet, in stil, god choose them to be examples, and to teach US lessons. so, if you are upset that essence is using them as an example because they are not married, then you would have to be mad at some of the things that are in the bible. point blank. when it comes down to it, ALL OF US have sinned and come short of the glory. i know i have. but if your are trying, the father reconizes that. if your heart is a righteous one, god notices that too….

  80. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    “Yes it is nice to see a man who is taking responsibility for his family and doing right by his child’s mother, however if something were to happen to him….LaLa would have no claim to anything there are more reasons for marriage than just to say you have a piece of paper…I don’t know if I could be with someone who thinks Im good enough to sleep with but not good enough to marry…”

    Sure she would. She has his child. His child would be all set. I am sure Lala has her own and that Melo has taken care of her as well. They are also common law married if I am correct. She’ll be fine. She has her own money as well!!!

  81. Talley-B (call me Steel)

    to afiya…

    carmelo cut the corn rows off at the beginning of the year. he’s rocking the grown man fade these days. lol…


  82. didnt dwayne wade get caught creepin on his ol lady


  83. @SMDH

    VERY good points. Lets not give the man more excuses for him not to raise his child…married or not, he does have a responsibility to his seed…

  84. pm

    You can’t trust everything in the Bible, It also says eating shrimp is a sin.

  85. PURPPLE

    Marriage is being recognized by your community as being in a committed relationship along with any financial dowries or family arrangements.

    Institutionalized marriage is signing a piece of paper in order for your marriage to be recognized as valid, or law.

  86. Nina Knows

    SMDH.. I agee. In other words in this case. Blood is thicker than paper. and if something happened to him… her and lil man are alright. To think she wouldnt get shit, is foolish. But Melo aint going nowhere anyway! lol

    Purpple… Girl I tried not to say shit, but I had to. These bible bloggers get on my last nerve sometime. Like being on bossip is a holy thing to do. hypocritical hussies! lol

  87. PURPPLE

    He sure did Joey….

  88. SMDH aka SOY SAUCE

    “Her man (and mine) could call tomorrow and say to have her stuff out in 30 days, hes now “committed” to someone else..”

    Suprise boo boo: HE CAN DO THIS TO YOU IF YOUR MARRIED TOO!!! ;-)

    David Hassellhoff just had his wife of almost 20 years thrown out of his house.. Now you would think after 20 years that house would be here’s but not at all.. The fact is when a man is tired of you he is tired of you and if he wants you out of his life - you’re gone!! As his wife you may get a house if he’s very wealthy but for the most part you sell your assets, split them and move on. If you’re both successful or both not successful you tend to leave with what you came with..


  89. maybe she is not hung up on the “illusion” of being married thats him and her bi obviously she aint trippn off that ish like most people in the industry who getn married 4 the sake of saying they married and not 4 real love the husband & kid is the hottest accessory these past 2 yrs and most stars are really caught up in the hype i tell u 1 thing she looks more happy with him not being married then Bey look with Jay-Z! do YOUR thing LaLa and Mello dont worry bout the haters!

  90. PURPPLE

    lmao Nina, Melo is in that for the long haul…she be right with him a lot of times when they come here and party etc….

  91. Lady D

    @ SMDH
    This is one of the BLACK MAN vs BLACK MALE things I am always talking about… Melo is a good man. He is out here doing what alot of these so called rich athletes won’t even do.. Do you see how many athletes are in trouble for non payment of child support or not in their kids lives when there is absolutely no reason to not be?!? Now when a BLACK MALE makes a baby and abandons it he is looked down upon, and rightfully so. However when a good BLACK MAN is doing the right thing and being a good dad you mean to tell me he gets dogged to? That’s not fair to the BLACK MAN doing what he is supposed to do.. A man does not have to be married to love the woman he is with and be a good father to his children.. You do not owe a woman aring because you impregnate her. That’s one of the reasons divorce is so high now - people getting married for the wrong reasons or because a child is on the way. Forced marriages cause bitterness and often end the marriage brutally and scars the children too.. Leave this man be.. Him, Lala and their baby are looking happy and very well.. It’s really noone elses business how they choose to co-exist.. Melo is a GOOD BLACK MAN and that’s fine by me!!
    ——————————
    You are on point today!!!

    That was some real shit. People often get mad when we as black women state our opinions on the shit that some black men do. A lot of people don’t establish the difference between a person who calls himself a man, and an actual man. I really agree with you about people getting married for the wrong reasons. Especially when it’s just for a child. People are basically saying you have to get married if a baby is on the way. That is so stupid to me because now you have a child growing up in a household with two parents who probably hate each other beyond a sexual relationship. That’s hard to go through as a child, and its not fair. My suggestion, is WATCH WHO YOU’RE HAVING SEX WITH… CHANCES ARE, A BABY MAY BE A RESULT DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. SO CHOOSE YOUR MATES WISELY.

    Yeah, I remember that MTV show too. Damn, that was like a decade ago or something. You good. That nigga was only saying that shit for the camera.

    Like I said though, I ain’t mad at Kobe cause a lot of niggas wouldn’t turn nothing down if they were in his place. Oh, and the bitch in Colorado was lying her fat ass off too.

    wHAT i DON’T UNDERSTAND AND SOMEONE MAY BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME IS WHY DO PEOPLE GO SO HARD ON DIDDY FOR WHAT HE DOES, BUT WITH LALA IT’S OKAY SHE’S NOT CAUGHT UP IN THE ILLUSION OF MARRIAGE? SHE SEEMS TO BE CAUGHT UP IN THE ILLUSION OF BEING A FIANCE THOUGH?

    “Oh, and the bitch in Colorado was lying her fat ass off too.”

    Actually - when Kobe issued his apology after the civil case was settled he all but admitted to everything that girl said happened! Now don’t get me wrong I KNOW white women can set out to target black men/males in situations like this. But wrong is wrong and right is right - and Kobe did what that girl said he did. I hate to say it but he did.

    Now you know you are going to get some shit started with that one. Ain’t no difference but they probably goin try to say how Diddy got “x” amount of children and shit. And how it’s multiple baby mamas and shit.

    Granted La La just got one baby daddy…. for now.

  106. osoreal

    They can stay engaged forever. It doesn’t matter she had his baby.

    Now the only thing that bothers me about that statement is that she have to lock her son & herself in the bedroom. What happened to a secruity system? If things are that “overwhelming” then downsize.

  107. Nina Knows

    Lady Architect…..

    Girl come on now… LaLa dont have kids spread around everywhere by differnt men. Claiming some and not all of them, fucking jumpoffs, etc. Lala and Melo aint shit like Stanky Diddy and them hoes he got those kids by. Melo never said he would never marry Lala, but Diddy sure said he wouldnt marry Kim.

    I get your point, but Diddy was a horrible example.


  108. SMDH… i know thats right about Obama, hell his father left him at a young age and im glad he had the sense to want to do the right thing> which is a damn slap in the face to these simpleton liberals who say a kid wont amount to nothing being raised by a single parent. Single parent and being President that just goes to show you people shouldnt listen to what others say be the best you can be single damn parent or not, but im glad to see him there for his kid married or not!

    No boo. Kobe said he committed “adultery,” not “rape.” That’s too different things.

    Not only did the woman’s story not add up. The prosecutors are the ones that decided to drop the case. WHEN HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THAT? AND the woman’s friends and family were ready to testify AGAINST HER. LOL. You can look it up.

    She was a lie and the prosecution even recognized this. Period.

  111. free

    lmao at them still using the word “fiance”. she got that ring on like it means something. it’s great for melo to hang in there but damn is obama the only married person we can do a family article on?

    Cause Diddy is just plain ole nasty! And I can’t even beleive Kim kept having children for him after seeing what he was like. He’s nasty and I’d have been to scared I’d catch something by having unprotected sex with him..

    @Lady Architect,
    I think the fundamental difference between people’s reaction to Melo vs. Diddy is that Diddy’s blatant indifference towards Kim Porter and the other women in his life.

  116. PURPPLE

    LOL@man….yeah he turned me all the way off straight braggin to the camera, thats not something you have to brag on, like he had to make a point to show everyone how much he loved his wife.

    you know its a shame but circumstantial elements kill a nigga every time….the fact he did her in de butt raw, she was a white girl etc just did him in, it was all the circumstantial shyt that made Kobe situation so much worse, and he know he in the public eye…that nig had no tact, respect, class or nuttin bout his dyck, just none!

    LOL. Of course he didn’t. He didn’t expect for that shit to get out. He just ran into a money hungry, lyin ass bitch.

    Imagine what some of these other niggas have done and it just ain’t get out yet. The Lakers of the 80’s had permanent passes to the PlayBoy mansion ma.

    Not an excuse, just gotta keep shit in perspective.

  123. Lady Architect (Everyone suddenly thinks Architect means instant millions? Those Xmas lists are in the trash!)

    Nina Knows,
    IT SEEMS LIKE A DOUBLE STANDARD IN WHICH IT ALWAYS HAPPENS THAT WAY. DID PEOPLE FORGET HOW LALA STRAIGHT LEFT THE WORKING CLASS GUY THAT WAS ABOUT TO MARRY HER FOR CARMELO. WOULD SHE HAVE DONE THE SAME IF HE WASN’T A NBA PLAYER? ALSO AT ONE POINT DIDDY DID SAY HE WAS GONNA MARRY KIM WHEN HE WAS READY. ON TOP OF THAT WHY THE WOMEN WHO HAVE A CHILD BY HIM ARE CONSIDERED HOES? HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY DIDN’T CARE ABOUT HIM? ON TOP OF THAT HE TAKES VERY GOOD CARE OF HIS CHILDREN AND THEIR MOTHERS. HONESTLY YOU CAN’T SAY FOR A FACT THAT CARMELO IS NOT SCREWING SOME JUMPOFFS OF HIS OWN JUST BECAUSE HE POSES WITH LALA ON SOME MAGS. LIKE A SAID IT’S A DOUBLE STANDARD.
