La La Vazquez is making it rain this month… the lovely Latina is discusses her and hubby Carmelo Anthony’s return to NYC for the cover of the premiere issue of PYNK Magazine!
Inside the issue La La addresses her decision not to accept a role in the “Basketball Wives” reality show and responds to being called “First Lady Of New York.” Check out what she had to say below…
On Basketball Wives:
“I was offered a spot on the show. I turned it down. I have absolutely nothing against basketball wives, the show Basketball Wives, or anything like that. But I pride myself in being more than just a basketball wife. I understand that’s something that I am, but that’s not a title that I want to define me. I’d rather be known as a mom, a businesswoman, a producer, an actress, a TV host. I just felt like that didn’t fit who I was and where my career was trying to go.”
We agree. Who needs “Basketball Wives” when you can get a whole show to yourself anyway?
Besides… Who wants to put themselves on blast with all them drank throwin’, neck-rollin, gold-diggin’ scallywaggin’ shenanigans just for mass consumption? Clearly not La La “He Liked It So He Put A Ring On It… Finally” Vazquez!

On Being Referred To As The First Lady Of New York:
“I kind of laugh when people say it. It’s an honor to be called [The First Lady Of New York.] For people to even put us in the same category as Jay-Z and Beyonce — that’s just an honor in itself, but I don’t deal well with titles. To me, actions speak more than anything. It’s about being in New York now and being active, as New Yorker’s get active in the community. And getting out there and showing people what we are about outside of our businesses, with philanthropy and different things like that. That’s how you prove who you really are. You can be given a label and a title but what does that mean when there is nothing behind it? So for us, it’s about really embracing the city of New York. We kind of rushed and got here quickly, but now that we are settling in we’re starting to get out there and do some charity work and let people really see what we’re about as individuals, and as a couple.”
We had no idea folks were calling La La “First Lady” of anything, but she definitely answered the question the right way — titles don’t mean isht if there is nothing behind it! We can’t deny La La is definitely out there at the charity events, putting in work…
We just hope Melo doesn’t embarrass her by messin’ with none of those golddiggin’ hoodrats that are probably circling him like sharks in the Big Apple.
Shoutout to @PynkMag for the dope spread!!!
