Angel Reese is officially on fire. Her offseason brand-standing has positioned her in a celebrity stratosphere that makes everything she does headline news on the various social media outlets and the Gen Z followers that keep her lit.

Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast has had some great guests, including Shaq, and the topics of conversation have caused controversy and plenty of social media banter.

Reese’s latest guest was Kiyan Anthony, son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony and actress La La. The 6-foot-5 Kiyan is a rising high school hoops star, who is close to making a decision on where he will attend college.

Kiyan Anthony IS No. 1 Player In NYC Still Deciding College Commitment

Anthony, a 4-star prospect, according to 247Sports Composite, is listed as the No. 28 player nationally, the No. 6 shooting guard in the country and the top player in the state of New York out of the Class of 2025.

He’s still deciding between Syracuse, USC and Auburn.

On Reese’s podcast, Kiyan revealed what will be the deciding factor in his school choice.

“Just what coaches have been on me the latest and where I can go in right away and see growth, where I can develop my game and just try to win,” Anthony said. “Whatever the coaches are telling me, where they can see me playing, what my role is.”

He holds offers from Syracuse, USC, Florida State and others, though he’s still awaiting an offer from Auburn, one of the schools in his top three.

According to reports, the Long Island Lutheran star said in September that he planned to commit in the last week of October or the first week of November, so his decision is coming soon.

Given his father’s championship legacy at Syracuse, the Orange are considered a strong frontrunner.

Reese offered advice to the younger Kiyan, who’s journey to stardom is really just beginning and will undoubtedly be boosted by his family name.

It was a chill conversation, but a Reese podcast wouldn’t be right without some controversy attached. In addition to giving him advice on how to avoid predatory older women chasing the bag, during her guest reveal prior to the show, the 22-year-old WNBA star did a little TikTok dance with Anthony that lasted all of a few seconds, but when it hit social media the imaginations of young boys and protective women ran wild.

Social Media Goes Crazy About Angel Reese and Kiyan Anthony Dance Video

“He clapping them cheeks for sure,” one X user said disrespectfully.

Another warned Melo to, “Come get your son.”

One X user went as far as to question why the 22-year-old Reese is fraternizing with a 17-year-old.

“Why is a child hanging with a grown woman?” asked X user, Randy Dunn.

Reese has become a crush of plenty of teenage and tweenage men and women across the country. Her commitment to style and fashion and her promotion of the music of a young generation has elevated her to fame.

Everything she does is scrutinized, analyzed and praised or vilified.

Further proof that she moves the needle is how an innocent dance with Anthony inspired such colorful comments from the fans.

There were a few X users who didn’t like the 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual suggestions driving the comment section.

“The comment section is both musty and dusty,” one disgusted X user posted.

The interview between two rising stars in the hoops game was insightful and tasteful, but that doesn’t stop the fans from dreaming up scenarios in their heads when it comes to Chi Barbie.
