fanMAIL: Who knew Evelyn Lozada was a former video vixen?

Entrepreneur Evelyn Lozada, who has emerged as the face of VH1’s hit reality TV show Basketball Wives, was once a video vixen sashaying her hips in music videos such as Jay Z’s “I Just Wanna Love You (Give it 2 Me)”.

This according to my sharp-eyed reader, Justtina K., who spotted the young Evelyn Lozada wearing a powder blue dress and bikini throughout this video.

If you notice, Evelyn manages to keep her face out of most of the video frames. No doubt because she knew she had a daughter at home who would one day be old enough to view the video (Shaniece would have been 7 when this video was made back in 2000).

Hey Sandra,

I was watching videos the other day and Jay-Z’s video “Give it to me” came on. I know this may be old but one of the girls in the video dancing looks just like Evelyn Lozada. You know she had the biggest issue with the way Royce was dancing. Just wondering if you can confirm this for me.
