Tony Yayo, whose gesture inspired John Cena, defends Angel Reese against criticism for waving at Caitlin Clark. Yayo notes a double standard in the reaction to the gesture.
Yayo called out media hypocrisy to TMZ Sports: "I think it's kinda crazy...when Angel Reese do it it's a problem and then when Caitlin Clark did it it wasn't a problem."
The rapper expressed that trash-talking is a common part of any game, whether it's video games or real sports, and it's just a competitive instinct.
Yayo lauded Angel Reese for her significant role in promoting women's basketball, recognizing her influence as a young player in expanding the sport's popularity and reach beyond its current limits.
