Angel Reese, one of the best players in college basketball and a First-team All-American, has recently been the target of online rumors linking her to rapper NBA YoungBoy. The LSU forward took to social media to clear the air and deny any relationship with the controversial artist.
Reese, who transferred from Maryland to LSU last year, posted a video on TikTok on Friday, March 24, where she addressed the speculation that she was dating NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden. In the clip, she lip-synced to a song by Doja Cat that says “Please stop” and added the caption “I’m not his girlfriend.“
The video quickly went viral and received over 1.5 million views and 300,000 likes on TikTok. Many fans and followers commented on the video, expressing their support for Reese and praising her basketball skills. Some also joked about how NBA YoungBoy has eight children with seven different women and how Reese dodged a bullet by not being involved with him.
