Carmelo Anthony‘s ex-wife is no stranger to the entertainment world. The former MTV VJ has played numerous characters on screen. La La Anthony is well known for her appearances in ‘Think Like a Man Too’ and more. Since then, she has continued to thrive in the film industry. She is also part of the hit series, “Black Mafia Family,” from longtime friend and mentor 50 Cent’s production house.
As the third season of BMF was launched on March 1st, the actress spoke about her friendship with the 48-year-old and the support she has received from him. “50 Cent is a mentor to me and one of my closest friends. We’ve been locked in for over 15 years now, so when he calls on me for something, I know it’s going to be good, and I’ll be pushed as an actor, so that’s why I follow his lead.”
Furthermore, she also spoke about the character she played in the series as well as other roles. Showing a major similarity between the characters she has played so far, Anthony said, “Power and BMF are two different shows, but at the core, the characters have similarities where the women I play love someone very deeply and want to see the best in them.” “All women can relate to these two in a sense, which is what makes all the characters appealing because you can find something that you may resonate with when you’re watching,” La La Anthony said in an interview with Revolt.
