Over the weekend, DDG shared a video on Instagram featuring Angel Reese, where he raps along to his newly released song, “WHAT U BAD FOR.” In the clip, DDG stands next to Reese, and fans couldn’t help but notice the height difference between them. DDG himself commented on the situation, joking, “she had heels on, we the same height I swear,” acknowledging the playful exchange about their stature.
Despite the focus on their height, DDG and Reese were actually promoting the track, which also features Real Boston Richey. The song touches on DDG’s recent breakup with Halle Bailey, where he reflects on his son, Halo, and his connection to Bailey. “Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever,” DDG raps, speaking to his love for his child and his ex. However, some listeners felt that a stronger beat could have made the song’s emotional message hit harder.
The breakup between DDG and Halle Bailey has sparked ongoing curiosity, especially after the couple welcomed their son Halo not long ago. While DDG has admitted that he still hasn’t fully moved on, Halle Bailey has remained more reserved, only publicly addressing issues like DDG taking Halo to a Kai Cenat stream without informing her. Despite the drama, both stars have defended each other amid online criticism, always trying to support one another in their personal lives.
The playful height joke might seem trivial, but it seems to have sparked enough attention to bring more focus to DDG’s relationship with Halle, which remains a key emotional thread in his music. Whether this tactic was intentional or not, it’s a reminder of how even lighthearted moments can lead to deeper discussions about a celebrity’s personal life. We’ll see what other antics emerge next in this ongoing saga.
Angel Reese Posts One-Word Reaction to Hailey Van Lith’s Career Game
NCAA women’s basketball star Hailey Van Lith recently led the TCU Horned Frogs to a 76-73 win over NC State, earning an upset victory over the No. 13 Wolfpack.
Van Lith posted her first career 10-assist double-double, finishing the game with 18 points and 10 assists while shooting 8-of-24 from the field.
She took to social media to share a few photos from the game.
“chop wood carry water,” Van Lith captioned the post.
Van Lith’s former teammate with the LSU Tigers, Angel Reese, who currently plays for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA, commented on the post.
Reese agreed with Van Lith’s statement, posting her thoughts on the post in the comment section.
“EXACTLY,” Reese said,
Reese and Van Lith shared the court together with the LSU Tigers during the 2023-24 season. The two led the Tigers to a 31-6 record which ultimately had them listed as the No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Following her sole season at LSU (2023-24), Van Lith transferred to TCU, where she’s playing her fifth season of college basketball.
Van Lith started her college career in 2020. She played three seasons with the Louisville Cardinals, transferred to LSU for one season and is now leading the Horned Frogs.
TCU stands at 4-0 on the season under Van Lith’s lead, with wins against the Houston Christian Huskies, New Orleans Privateers, Texas State Bobcats and NC State Wolfpack.
Angel Reese is switching it up with her looks, and her latest doesn’t disappoint.
Today, the Chicago Sky forward took to her Instagram Story to show off her new hairstyle. She posed in the mirror with her hair done in long braids, while wearing a black and pink Barbie sports bra and black shorts.
Also in the photo, Reese showed off her abs, complete with a flashy belly button ring.
The WNBA superstar has been known to show out with her fits, even her most cozy and relaxed ones. But it never hurts to take advice from elders in the fashion game.
Yesterday, Reese dropped an episode of her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, which featured celebrity stylist Law Roach.
Roach has styled some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Zendaya, Celine Dion, Ariana Grande, and more. During the chat, Roach expressed happiness over the fact that the fashion industry is paying attention to WNBA tunnel fits.
“I like the tunnel fits,” Roach said. “I love the way the fashion industry and designers respecting that now. Because they didn’t used to pay attention to athletes, and now, they’re paying attention to athletes.”
Roach also said that Reese’s dream to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show isn’t too far off. And with her confidence and inventive fashions, we must say we’re in agreement!
Angel Reese Drops 3 Powerful Words After Inspiring 5-Star Talent Architect Major Upset
“When they sleep on you, tuck them in!” Angel Reese had written in her caption while posting on ‘HAPPY REEBOK X ANGEL DAY!!’ three months ago. While many would have thought that the post was done and dusted, there were a million fans who took inspiration from it. And one of them is an NCAA star who as the season started has converted that inspiration into action and upset a team.
After Harvard’s upset over No. 25 Indiana, Harmoni Turner shared that she took a major dose of inspiration from the Chi-Town Barbie which helped her decimate the other team. “Keep sleeping… taking the quote from @Reese10Angel “ when they sleeping on you, tuck em in” great team win! proud of us,’” she stated, and now Reese has reacted to the same. After the quote was tweeted by Harmoni on Friday, Reese reshared the tweet with her three-word message “heard you sis!”
The Harvard Crimson clashed with the Indiana Hoosiers on Thursday in what was their second game of the regular season, defeating them by a 72-68 margin. At one point in time, the Hoosiers led the game with a 60-57 margin which was the largest lead for Indiana. However, Turner played a crucial role as she hit a free throw and then made a jumper that leveled the score. If that wasn’t enough, she assisted Alayna Rocco who got the score to 63-all, and the game went into overtime.
Even during the OT, Turner made a pair of layups before assisting Mona Zaric make a jumper. All this culminated in the Crimson upending the No. 25 ranked Indiana. Notably, Turner had the game’s highest 24 points with 4 assists, 4 rebounds, and 6 steals, assuming the leadership role for her team. She also made 10 out of 17 field goals, thus rescuing the Crimson during crucial moments, and surely Reese was to be thanked for her motivational ideas.
The five-star guard had committed to Harvard in 2019 and from 2021 has been plying her trade with utmost sincerity. It is only a matter of time before she makes a name for herself just like Reese. Meanwhile, Turner isn’t the only star that the Chi-Town Barbie has impacted.
Angel Reese inspires Louisiana girls’ basketball players and more
When Angel Reese & the Lady Tigers. decimated their opponents one after another, finally clinching the Championship title during the 2022-23 season, it sent waves across Louisiana. Inspired by the exceptional success of LSU, Central High School girls’ basketball coach Krystal Huggins-Flowers credited the Chicago star for having a brilliant season. “You know, pay attention to Angel Reese. Do you see her passion? Do you see her fight?,” Huggins-Flowers remarked on being asked one message she would like to give her mentees. However, that was just the beginning.
Even Central High School senior Ty’Reona Sibley revealed that she was planning for Southeastern Louisiana next year and had an amazing learning experience watching the Lady Tigers. “Just seeing them play the game, work hard, and all they were doing, it helped me to keep going and keep pushing,” Sibley enunciated.
This is not it. The Sky No. 5 understands her reach and has always been forthcoming in ensuring that the young girls know they can look up to her. Back in July, an adorable fan came to Reese and asked what motivated her. The seventh-overall pick did not take a second to respond, “Girls like you. Little girls that look up to me. Being able to wake up every day and know that little eyes are watching me. I hope one day that you can do what I’m doing.”
After inspiring a junior NCAA star, Reese has once again proven that she continues to break barriers in women’s sports. Hopefully, someday all those who emulated her will be playing next to her in the WNBA.
WNBA All-Star Angel Reese has signed a multi-year partnership extension with sportswear brand Reebok and will be launching her own signature sneaker in 2026.
The move will mean that Reese becomes only the second WNBA player to receive a signature shoe from the brand. Reese joins other female basketball stars with signature shoe deals, including Breanna Stewart with Puma and Caitlin Clark with Nike.
Commenting on working on her signature shoe, Reese said in a statement: “We’ve already kicked off the design process, and it means the world to me to have Reebok’s full support and confidence with this shoe and overall partnership.
“A signature shoe has always been a dream of mine, and I want all the young girls out there to remember that anything is possible.”
The announcement follows Reese’s first collaborative footwear and apparel collection, ‘Reebok by Angel,’ which launched in August, and Reebok unveiling its first new performance basketball sneaker since the early 2010s, the ‘Engine A,’ slated for release in spring of 2025.
Reebok sees basketball as a focal point of its long-term strategy plan to reclaim its position as a dominant player in sport and sports culture, and Reese signing an extension comes on the heels of three new player signings by Reebok Basketball, including 5-star NIL prospect, Nate Amentt, the youngest pro hooper in USA history Dink Pate, and Bulls rookie star Matas Buzelis.
WNBA superstar Angel Reese debuted her ‘Blonde Barbie’ makeover on the red carpet at a fashion awards show.
Angel Reese did not only emerge as a WNBA superstar during her rookie season with the Chicago Sky, she established herself as a force in the fashion industry.
During the WNBA preseason, Angel appeared at the Met Gala after announcing her decision to enter the draft on the cover of Vogue.
She even jetted off to Paris for the Summer Olympics and attended the pre-Olympic Louis Vuitton party. That party gave the world the link-up that no one knew they needed when Angel rubbed shoulders with Grammy winner Tyla.
Now, she’s making her mark on the fashion world once again with a dramatic makeover on the red carpet of the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards.
Angel debuted her new “Blonde Barbie” look.
Angel Reese just cannot miss.
Reese’s historic season came to a premature end, but she still made a major impact on the WNBA.
Despite her season being cut short, Reese led the WNBA in rebounds per game (13.1), was named a WNBA All-Star, set a WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles (15), and became the fastest player in league history to reach 20 double-doubles in their career.
Now, we’ll have to wait until January 2025 when Unrivaled tips off in Miami to see Reese return to the court.
Angel Reese went old Hollywood at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday in New York. The Chicago Sky player evoked 1950s starlets like Marilyn Monroe in a strapless Simkhai gown featuring a slit skirt and a matching fur coat.
Reese added on black patent leather heels and chunky diamond-encrusted jewelry, including a necklace and rings. She debuted platinum blond tresses, which she styled with curtain bangs. Her makeup included lip gloss and a pop of pink blush.
Like other WNBA stars, Reese has cultivated a high fashion following since going pro. In May, she was a guest at the annual Met Gala, which is widely regarded as fashion’s super bowl. She’s also been dressed by brands such as Diesel and Alexander Wang, displaying her designer “tunnel fits” ahead of the Sky’s games.
Reese was tapped as the face of Good American’s Long Inseam Denim collection in May, appearing in a campaign promoting the brand’s line of denim for tall women.
The Long Inseam Denim collection includes designs with 33- and 37-inches inseams dedicated for women taller than 5-foot, 10-inches — the industry standard for women’s denim is 30- to 32-inch inseams. Reese is 6-foot, 3-inches tall.
For her Met Gala debut that month, Reese selected a mint green gown by the British label 16Arlington. “I feel beautiful and I feel sexy,” she told WWD. The power forward also celebrated her 22nd birthday at the event.
The 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards will take place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York on Oct. 28, with Cynthia Erivo hosting. Honorees at this year’s ceremony include Coach, Michael Kors, Annie Leibovitz and finally, Erykah Badu, who will receive the coveted Fashion Icon Award.

Recently, on her Instagram Live, Angel Reese came forward to spill her financial troubles. Mocking her WNBA salary, the Sky rookie opined that she wouldn’t have been able to afford her rent if she were only dependent on her salary. While it did spark the WNBA salary debate, especially since the players opted out of the CBA after that, what didn’t sit right with two reporters was the way she taunted her remuneration.
On Sunday’s episode of Come And Talk 2 Me, Kianna Nycole joined hands with Treasure Wilson to take a dig at Reese and how she communicated her salary, which had the fans thinking if the 22-year-old really felt undervalued.
“It was just very right… you know just nonchalant, off the cuff. Like ‘Oh, yeah! I’m living beyond my means.’ Like it’s cute. It’s fun. And so it’s just like… I don’t know… it just left me confused. I feel like confidentiality would have been the best option here. We didn’t need all that especially if it doesn’t seem like you’re necessarily bothered right by it. I just think she could have used her platform in a better way if she wanted to convey some sort of message for sure,” Nycole stated, via Come And Talk 2 Me.
“I just hope y’all know the WNBA doesn’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think it pays one of my bills, literally,” Reese had confessed on Instagram Live recently. She also divulged that her rent in Chicago (since she must have shifted base once she was drafted by the Sky this season) was around $8,000. Doing quick math, she realized that she pays $96K in rent whereas her salary is less than that.
Wilson agreed with Nycole’s point of view, adding that “there are some girls making less than you. Who are like dang like what you mean like only 74,000 like it, like to me, like and that’s why I’m saying get your money, sis. Get your money because you’re getting that base salary, you’re getting your endorsement, social media.” Plus, Wilson added that it was somewhere tone-deaf.
Additionally, Reese pointed out that, “I’m living beyond my means.” Apart from disparaging her salary, “I don’t even know my salary—74 [thousand]?” Notably, Reese has a four-year deal with the Chicago Sky worth $324,383. As part of the agreement, she would be making $73,439 during her rookie season. Meanwhile, even Barbara Corcoran dismissed her problems.
Barbara Corcoran slams Angel Reese for her rant
Corcoran recently gave an interview with TMZ Sportz where she subtly stated that Reese’s issues didn’t amount to much. For the unversed, Corcoran had founded the Real estate company The Corcoran Group which operated in New York. And one of the marketing plans of the $100 million celebrity was mailing the prospective clients the average price of an apartment in NY. Hence, going by her experience she is the apt person to comment on rent in the USA.
“$8,000 a month in Chicago, she’s lucky she gets a kitchen for it… Thank God she’s not moving to New York. Here, she’d pay $12,000 for the same apartment. So, it could be worse,” Corcoran revealed while expressing that “paying $8,000 a month in the Windy City ain’t too shabby!!”
And now Reese has been checked one more time. While her problems did strike a chord with her fans, they failed to do so with trained analysts and celebs. Hopefully, next time Reese will make sure to express herself in a better way.
Angel Reese has been wearing many hats since winning a national championship at LSU: record-setting WNBA rookie, entrepreneur, an advertiser and sponsor’s dream.
Through it all, Angel Reese has remained unapologetically herself.
So, when she says something, she means it. When she does something, it’s because she wants to. And, according to her latest Instagram Story, it appears she wanted to make a major change.
Angel gave a sneak peek at a drastic hairstyle change.
In a photo uploaded to Instagram, Angel shows of a new blonde ‘do.
You have to respect a bold move.
Angel Reese has been a trendsetter in the WNBA fashion game, so you can be sure people are paying attention when she makes a statement.
Reese’s historic season came to a premature end, but she still made a major impact on the WNBA.
Despite her season being cut short, Reese led the WNBA in rebounds per game (13.1), was named a WNBA All-Star, set a WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles (15), and became the fastest player in league history to reach 20 double-doubles in their career.
Now, we’ll have to wait until January 2025 when Unrivaled tips off in Miami to see Reese return to the court.
“I’m all about normalizing that you can live both lives.” That’s what Angel Reese said, and she has been living up to it in style. The Chicago Sky rookie has become a fashion icon. After averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game this season, which was cut short by injury, she turned the pre-game into her own runway show. But it seems like fans are not yet convinced with her fashion.
GQ put up a poll on Instagram featuring Angel and another WNBA star from the Seattle Storm, Gabby Williams. Surprisingly, Gabby Williams snagged a whopping 75% of the votes, leaving Angel with just 25%.
Despite all of Angel’s glamorous pre-game outfits, it looks like fans are all in on Gabby’s style. And she has been serving killer looks, too. During a pre-game, she slayed in a black outfit with a green jacket to add a pop. But her midriff and boots stole the show. But let’s not forget how the Chi-Town Barbie has been leveling up the fashion game. Well, as much as they look nice, their costs will blow your mind.
Remember that stunning white Prada one-piece she rocked at Wintrust Arena before their home matchup? It was accompanied by a mini bag worth more than $4,000. The WNBA star also walked into the arena in a Chanel dress that matched her shoes and purse, both from the same designer brand. And let’s not even get into the glamorous red dress she wore at the VS fashion show, which cost $5,000.
Then, at the Met Gala, she was snapped in a custom look by 16Arlington: a turquoise sequined dress with a deep neckline and feathery mini-skirt. It screamed ‘expensive!’ But this isn’t new for someone who enjoys luxury labels, such as Chanel and Miu Miu.
While saying that Loius Vuitton is one of her favorites, she admits, “I’m a Chanel girl, hands down, let me say that.” But this isn’t fast money. Let us tell you that the 22-year-old has been one of those athletes making the best use of their NIL.
Angel Reese: Building the brand with fashion
Back in her college days, she earned the nickname “Bayou Barbie” (Chi-Town Barbie now). The 2024 rookie’s style isn’t just about the clothes; it’s about sending a message. “I make sure my nails, hair, lashes, and edges are done, and then I take it to the court,” Reese said. “That same girl must still be a competitor and a dog on the court.”
“I’m all about normalizing that you can live both lives — you don’t have to just be an athlete,” she asserted. With 4.4 million followers on instagram, fashion is now more like a business for the hooper. And who wouldn’t agree that considering WNBA’s pay, it is necessary.
Although the GQs Instagram poll says otherwise, LV recognized her fashion game and invited her to Louis Vuitton’s Olympics event. And behind all this is the young star’s stylist, Madison Ledyard. Their journey started with a simple tweet expressing her desire to work with the Bayou Barbie. After Angel responded with an eyeball emoji and a “let’s work,” they have been rocking.
Ledyard has styled Angel for some major events, like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue release party and the ESPN Upfront event. Also, in recent music video appearance in which Reese wore a baby blue hoodie and camo mini skirt.
Now, as the athlete gears up for the Unrivaled League this January, we can’t wait to see more of her. But, there are people who don’t get her fashion. Let us see if she manages to grab their attention, too!
