WNBA star Angel Reese went viral after her appearance on Nick Cannon’s “Wild ‘N Out” tour, captivating the crowd in a form-fitting purple jumpsuit that many on social media described as “quite revealing.”
The 22-year-old Chicago Sky forward exuded confidence, showing off dance moves rarely seen on the basketball court. Reese completed her bold look with cowboy-style boots, adding to the entertainment for fans.
In front of a packed United Center in Chicago, Reese took to the stage and dropped a few bars, impressing many in attendance. She rapped, “You know I look good, you wanna climb this tree. Can’t get me pregnant, this s*** ain’t cheap.” Her performance quickly gained traction online, with fans applauding her confident delivery.

However, her appearance has sparked debate among sports fans, particularly in light of her ongoing rivalry with WNBA star Caitlin Clark. Following the event, Reese promoted her podcast, “Unapologetically Angel,” before congratulating Clark on being named WNBA Rookie of the Year.
Clark secured 66 of the 67 votes, a near-unanimous win, to the surprise of many Reese fans. Reese’s timing in promoting her podcast drew criticism, with her initial response to Clark’s accolade being a post stating, “NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!! WE DROPPED SOME GEMS!!” Some fans urged Reese to apologize for what they saw as self-promotion, while others were more supportive, commenting, “She can have it all and more,” and “Talent… I need to see this.”
After Reese’s performance at the “Wild ‘N Out” event, a fan added, “Get her in the studio. Really loved that.” However, social media trolls and critics also emerged, with one commenter remarking, “Guess she will be a socialite rather than a baller,” referring to Reese’s desire to be respected as an athlete. Some felt her outfit was too revealing and believed she might be sending the wrong message to her female followers.
Despite the controversy, Reese appears unfazed by the criticism and seems focused on making an impact both on and off the court.
