Angel Reese, the rising WNBA superstar and internet personality, is no stranger to the spotlight. But when YouTuber-turned-rapper DDG crooned his way into her latest TikTok, fans lost their collective minds. DDG performed his track “What U Bad For” in what many thought was a flirty serenade. Reese, however, wasted no time in shutting down the drama faster than a buzzer-beater three.
“It’s literally a TikTok. RELAX 😂,” Reese tweeted, sprinkling in just the right amount of side-eye emoji energy to remind everyone that not everything needs to be a conspiracy theory.
When TikTok Turns into a Soap Opera
Despite her clear disclaimer, social media detectives were already crafting wild narratives.
“DDG and Angel Reese — two stars, one exciting potential!” an optimist cheered. Meanwhile, another user shot back, “I can’t believe failed rapper DDG would be anywhere near Angel.” Ouch. But perhaps the comment of the day was: “I pray Angel learns that not all publicity is good publicity. I need her protected from bums like DDG.”
Poor DDG—he can’t catch a break. Another fan offered a much-needed reality check: “I don’t like DDG either, but Angel is literally just standing there. Y’all acting like she twerked on him.”
Reese, unfazed by the chaos, continues to thrive both on and off the court. And for the record, she’s not here for anyone’s unsolicited relationship counseling.
From TikTok Queen to Double-Double Machine
Let’s not forget, Angel Reese isn’t just a social media darling—she’s a WNBA force to be reckoned with. The Chicago Sky forward lit up the league in her rookie season, averaging a monstrous 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. She didn’t just dip her toes into stardom; she cannonballed right in, earning All-Star honors and narrowly missing out on Rookie of the Year.
Offseason? Not for Reese. She’s already back in the gym, working on her catch-and-shoot three-pointers. In her rookie campaign, Reese barely ventured beyond the arc, hitting just 18.8% of her threes. But judging by a recent video of her practice session, that’s about to change.
“Y’all better guard me at the perimeter next season,” Reese joked in the caption of her latest training clip.
Next Stop: 3-on-3 Greatness
When she’s not shutting down internet gossip or grinding on her shooting, Reese is gearing up for the inaugural 3-on-3 Unrivaled league. Organized by WNBA superstars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, this new venture promises fast-paced hoops with a dash of flair. Reese, always one to rise to the occasion, will be looking to dominate yet another format when the league tips off in January 2025.
In the meantime, let’s all take Reese’s advice and relax. Whether it’s a TikTok duet or a highlight reel dunk, Angel Reese knows how to keep fans entertained—and just a little on edge.
