which she admitted is part of the reason she kept her famous surname.

“The moment of being able to buy Kiyan’s NBA jersey will be crazy,” moderator Taylor Rooks said.

“That’s why I haven’t changed my last name yet,” Anthony replied. “I’m gonna keep it around for a little while!” “I’m sorry I’m going where my kid goes!” she said. “Wherever my kid is at, that’s who I’m rooting for.”

“It’s different when it’s your kid,” former “Total Request Live” host added. “It’s just a whole different ball game. It feels like a brand new journey that I’m going on with him.”

Although the young basketball player is likely headed down a similar path to his famous father, La La said he has no interest in being in the “spotlight.”

“He has seen it his whole life so he is used to it but he is also an extremely humble kid,” she said, noting that he hates being on camera. So it’s amazing how grounded he has been able to be through it all because I couldn’t imagine growing up with parents that were in the spotlight or like … people wearing [Carmelo’s] jersey and people going crazy everywhere he goes.”

“But he’s so calm and so humble and just wants to do the work and be such a student of the game,” she added.

The mother-son duo is extremely close and La La previously revealed that Kiyan intends to keep it that way.
