Former NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony’s ex-wife La La Anthony was promoting her latest project “Black Mafia Family” Season 3. During the red carpet, she jokingly said YouTuber Funny Marco was her date. They are not officially dating, yet the internet seems to adore these two together.

It all started a few weeks ago, Marco posted a video on his Instagram story tagging La La. Asking her if she would consider him for a date. La La reposted the video on her story and asked her fans with a poll: should Marco be given a chance? Once again it was all in fun from La La. Fans however majorly chose the answer yes.

Marco posted the photo of the red carpet event with La La on his Instagram and even showed the message he sent her.  He wrote, “It’s me Lala just wanted to see if you could let me take you out one day I know you be busy I be hella busy so let me know so I can pick a time. thank you for reading my dm”. The caption of his post was funny, “Fellas you can shoot 100 shots, all it take is 1 #bmf”.
