Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky sensation and fashion mogul-in-the-making, is about to hit the coveted 5 million Instagram followers milestone. With 4.5 million followers already hanging on her every post, she’s leaving the rest of the WNBA in the dust. Naturally, Reese took to X (formerly known as Twitter, in case you’ve been living under a rock) to ask her fans what they wanted from her once she hits that big 5 mil mark.
Now, you’d think most responses would be simple: “Just keep being you, Angel!” Right? Well, hold on, because the internet rarely plays it straight.
The Caitlin Clark Connection
Among the heartfelt messages of love and support—”Just keep being happy!” and “You’re our queen!”—came some unexpected requests. One fan chimed in with a suggestion that has fans buzzing: “An apology to Caitlin Clark.”
Wait, what? Apologize to Caitlin Clark? The Indiana Fever star, who happens to be Reese’s NCAA rival from back in the day, doesn’t seem to be sweating anything. But apparently, a faction of fans hasn’t forgotten the drama from that legendary LSU-Iowa showdown. Angel’s “you can’t see me” gesture might still be living rent-free in their heads, and they’re looking for an apology. (News flash: You might want to hold your breath on that one.)
The WNBA Crossover You Didn’t Know You Needed
As if calling for a public apology wasn’t enough, another fan had a completely different—and frankly hilarious—request: “Dress like Caitlin!”
Because who wouldn’t want to see Reese rocking Clark’s game-day fit, maybe even with a side of a Pacers cap? The crossover potential here is limitless, people. Imagine Angel Reese in a Clark-inspired jersey swap! Let’s make it happen, folks.
Fans Get Bold with Requests
Some fans clearly didn’t get the memo that Angel’s an athlete, not a personal ATM. One bold soul went straight for the cash grab, asking for $5k to help pay off their student loans. “5k donation to my student loan debt would be amazing,” they wrote, clearly hoping Reese’s generosity extends beyond the basketball court. Dream big, right?
Others kept it real by suggesting that Reese drop a teaser for her upcoming Reebok signature shoe, set to drop in 2026. Because why not add a little hype to the mix? Who needs patience when your favorite player is inches away from a social media milestone?
Living That Double Life
Angel Reese is not just dominating the basketball world; she’s also a certified style icon. Her “double life,” as she calls it, is the stuff of legend. On the court, she’s all about business—dog mentality, fierce competition, nails done, hair laid, and ready to take on anyone. But off the court? It’s all fashion shows and Met Galas, baby.
In between basketball games, Reese has been making the rounds at high-profile events, including the 2024 Met Gala and Victoria’s Secret fashion show. She’s essentially showing us all how to juggle being a basketball superstar and a fashion queen—effortlessly, might I add.
“I’m a girly girl on the court but still have that dog mentality,” Reese said to People magazine in July, making it clear that femininity and athleticism are not mutually exclusive. Reese is living proof that you can dominate in sneakers and still rock the runway in heels.
Flau’jae on the Pod? Fans Have Ideas
If the fans have anything to say about it, Reese will soon be reunited with her LSU teammate Flau’jae Johnson on her podcast. “We want to see you and Flau’jae on the same podcast,” one fan demanded, proving once again that Reese’s impact goes way beyond the basketball court.
From being a WNBA superstar to becoming a fashion and beauty icon, Angel Reese is doing it all—and fans can’t get enough. But will she apologize to Caitlin Clark? Will she pay off student loans? Or will she just keep dancing her way to the top? Guess we’ll have to keep following her IG to find out.
Until then, keep shining, Angel—and maybe consider that apology (or not). We’ll be here, popcorn in hand, waiting for the next chapter.
