Although some successfully manage to keep their personal lives under wraps, NBA stars lead a pretty public life. Most of these athletes have their lives out there open in the public domain, like characters on a stage. Recently a revelation on Carmelo Anthony was brought to light.

Carmelo separated from his ex-wife La La in 2021. The end of their 11 years of marriage was rumored to be due to the cheating allegations that were cast on Anthony, and the couple finally called it quits in 2021. Now, the 39-year-old Anthony is making some waves in the dating world. A 43-year-old rapper recently admitted that Anthony had shot his shot at her a while ago.

NBA stars live a pretty lavish life filled with money, fame, and luxury. Several athletes have dated or are dating some of the biggest celebrities in the country. The two worlds coming together often builds a lot of anticipation among fans. People want to know every little detail about their life and similarly, their split-ups make for a lot of gossip. The Denver Nuggets veteran was no different during his time in the league. Anthony was married to La La Anthony, a popular actress and television personality.

Recently, rapper Hazel-E was in conversation with The Shade Room. When asked about the most famous person to have hit on her, Hazel revealed that Anthony tried to shoot his shot at her. The host was rather surprised by the answer, as La La happens to be a good friend to both Carmelo and La La.

When asked about whether this was before or after his divorce from the actress, Hazel said that it was after they had ended their marriage. It seems as though Anthony’s feelings weren’t reciprocated by the rapper, as there was no news of them being together in the last two years.
