‘Toe-G’: Evelyn Lozada’s Jab About O.G.’s ‘Thumb Out the Front of Her Shoe’ Leaves ‘Basketball Wives’ Fans Cracking Up, Co-star Responds

Evelyn Lozada‘s wisecrack about “Basketball Wives” co-star O.G.’s toes caught up to her on the latest episode, and the former newcomer was none too pleased about it.

Last week, Lozada told her fellow cast mates at a separate outing that she deemed O.G. “Toe-G” after seeking the star in peep-toe shoes with her big toe jutting out.

During Kristen Scott’s costume skate party, O.G. arrived and told Lozada, “I’m mad at you, though. So I’m not gon’ laugh with you.”

Then it comes to light that Lozada joked about the now-retired football player’s toe, which O.G. had an issue with.

“You couldn’t miss the f–king thumb out the front of her shoe!” Lozada stated in a confessional scene. “So I made a joke and called her Toe-G.

“What’s so crazy and so funny is it’s like she’s so… big, manly, though, grrr ‘I wanna beat you up’ but you’re mad ’cause I called you Toe-G because your toe was out of your shoes? It’s like, girl, it’s not that serious,” she said in conclusion.

Meanwhile, fans found the joke hilarious.

“😂😂😂😂😂😂 @EvelynLozada toe g I can’t #basketballwives”

“Evelyn talking about that damn toe…… 😂😂😂😂😂😂. #BasketballWives”

However, others took issue with Lozada describing O.G. as “manly” when the former “Livin’ Lozada” star felt her castmate overreacted to the remark.

“the f–kin toe lmfaooo and evelyn callin og manly was racist. #basketballwives”

“OG gotta let that one go tbh. That toe hanging out the shoe like that was bad lol. Can’t even lie. BUT, why did Evelyn call her manly though? She no bigger or more aggressive than she is? 🤔 #BasketballWives.”

Lozada’s actions have been questioned by fans before. The star was accused of showing “fake love” to Malaysia Pargo last week when the latter celebrated her 39th birthday.

“I want to wish you all the love and happiness in the world, all of which you deserve. Happy birthday!!! @malaysiainthecity ❤️🙏🏽” Lozada wrote in an Instagram post dedicated to Pargo.

Pargo responded with love, deeming Lozada “the best” but fans dissed the castmates’ love fest.

“Fake love.”

“When two goofballs link up 🔥💕”

“‘The best’? This is the person who dissed your cousin’s fiancee, spread a nasty rumour, made a racial joke. The family and this and the family that. Thought you ride for them? Guess not.”

“Fake recognizes fake. 😂😂”

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.
