‘Still Waiting’: N.Y. DJ Shoots His Shot at Evelyn Lozada as Others Rave About Her Youthful Appearance

Evelyn Lozada’s latest Instagram photo is gaining lots of attention for her bold throwback look, and it also snagged a commenter who hopes to take her out on a date.

The comments section of the “Basketball Wives” star’s Monday Instagram post was littered with praise after she shared makeup artist Lysette Castellanos’ photo of her rocking bamboo earrings and a “Fresh Princess of Bel-Air” jacket styled by Deno.

“Around the way girl ❤️ ” Lozada captioned the photo.

Initially, fans gushed over the look, which some remarked made Lozada look youthful.

“Evelyn keeping it old school.”

“18 forever 💙”

“Literally out here looking younger than me 😭😭😍 beautiful!!!!”

“Bomb.”

“This is amazing!!!!”

Then New York radio personality DJ and artist Kevin “Kevvy Kev” Montague stepped in to shoot his shot.

” @evelynlozada “I ain’t curving no dudes this year! I’m going on dates with all of y’all” – Evelyn Lozada 3/22/19 Still waiting..🤷🏽‍♂️😂”

Lozada replied, “@realdjkevykev Where you taking me? 😬😘”

“@evelynlozada Depends… LA or NY? I’m so serious 🙏🏽,” Montague replied.

And he wasn’t the only one. Others used the moment to shoot their shot, too.

“@evelynlozada I would love to date you as well.”

“@evelynlozada shiiitt I mean if you ever wanna swing the other way, I’ll add myself to the waiting list. Please & thank you.”

The DJ’s comment didn’t just come out of left field. He’s holding Lozada to what she said on Instagram last month proclaiming everyone will be considered as a potential datee.

“May the best one win!” she said in part.

However, while Montague is eager to get a chance at dating Lozada, many people in her comments last month trashed her for her previous open call.

“So what sport is she moving to now?”

“She gonna find herself another athlete lmao #HoeFoSho.”

“She already ran through the sporting federation so she may as well branch out now and put some more mileage on that cat.”

Lozada has previously had romances with former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, to whom she was married in 2012 before a domestic violence incident led to divorce. She also was engaged to former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford, with whom she shares a son.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
