Angel Reese recently shared a candid piece of advice with Kiyan Anthony, the 17-year-old basketball prospect and son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony, on her podcast. During his appearance on Unapologetically Angel, Reese took a moment to warn him about the potential pitfalls of dating as his fame rises.
With Kiyan preparing to announce his college decision in just two weeks, marking a significant step towards a likely NBA career, Reese offered guidance on managing his personal life. “You need to be careful,” she told him, speaking as a protective “sis.” She emphasized the importance of caution, especially with older women. “When you go to the league—or even in college—be careful with these women,” she advised. “One slip-up…you’ve seen the stories, right? Ki, don’t fall for it. I’m serious; watch out for those older women. Just be careful.”

Social media users believe Angel Reese’s comments might be aimed at Draya Michelle, who, at 39, recently had a child with Jalen Green, the 22-year-old Houston Rockets player—coincidentally the same age as Michelle’s eldest son.
The clip of Reese’s advice to Kiyan Anthony has gone viral, amassing over three million views on X. While many fans commended Reese for looking out for the young athlete, others speculated she was subtly referencing Michelle. “Draya caught a stray, lol,” one fan remarked, while another added, “Angel is talking straight to Draya.” Another user suggested, “Might as well just say Draya and call it a day.”
Reese also shared more practical advice when Kiyan mentioned preferring to host gatherings at home rather than going out. “You can’t be having anybody over there,” Reese advised. “Tell those girls to drop their phones at the door. If they don’t respect that, they gotta leave. Just make sure nobody’s recording.”
Earlier this week, Reese turned heads with her red carpet appearance at a fashion awards event in New York, showcasing her growing presence off the court.
Her profile has risen significantly following her rookie season with the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. Although her debut season was cut short due to a wrist injury that required surgery, Reese is anticipated to be fully recovered and ready for action in the new Unrivaled league launching in January.
