Kiyan Anthony, 18, is clapping back at critics questioning his relationship with 22-year-old Angel Bradley. The son of Carmelo Anthony and La La Anthony hasnt been shy about going public with his new boo, but some fans on social media are side-eyeing the four-year age difference. Now, Kiyan is setting the record straight and making it clear where he stands.
The 18-year-old son of Carmelo Anthony and La La Anthony is speaking out about his new relationship and clearing up misconceptions circulating online. Kiyan has been linked to TikTok creator Angel Bradley, with the pair confirming their romance earlier this summer after social media speculation.
While live on stream, Kiyan addressed a comment from a viewer who asked, What do you think of people talking about you and Angels age gap?
If I look at yall, most of yall parents have a big age gap. Most of y’all parents have the same age gap we have, Kiyan said. He added that he and Angel discussed the topic before they started dating, clarifying that it isn’t a problem for him.
Watch him share his full thoughts below.
Social media users slid into The Shade Room Teens’ comment section to react to Kiyan’s stance.
Instagram user @_arrogantmimi wrote, by three years? Yall need to touch some grass
Another Instagram user @thaatguurl.jay wrote, Nah as a 22yr old ain dating or looking at nobody 18
While Instagram user @speakingoftori wrote, “U can just tell he 18
Instagram user @j.jamyaa wrote, a 18 yr old and a 22 year old is much different than 38 and 42
Another Instagram user @shawanna1011 wrote, Here are the facts. She is 22 and obviously met him at 16 or 17. So he was underage. If the roles were reversed it would be an issue. In addition at 18 his mentality is already even much younger. So if he wasn’t playing basketball and possibly going to the NBA she would not be bothered.
While Instagram user @bxmixedcutie wrote, If his parents approve yall need to mind your business
Instagram user @xolayaaa wrote, being groomed is too normalized and it shows. y’all in the comments trying to justify ts every which way isn’t it
Another Instagram user @ncurrencyinc wrote, My son and his gf have this same age difference. They have tons in common. Some young men like a more mature mate. Won’t his mom older than his dad?
While Instagram user @ayyechefcooley wrote, If this was a man doing the reverse yall would outraged!!!
Despite the chatter, Kiyan and Angel dont seem fazed. The couple recently stepped out for date night, and Angel gave fans a glimpse on Instagram. She posted clips of the two riding together in the car, showing some sweet PDA as she caressed Kiyans face and chin.
Angel also dropped photos of them twinning in all-black outfits, serving couple goals and letting it be known theyre unbothered by the noise. Fans quickly flooded the comments, with many showing love for the pair while others kept the debate about their relationship going.
