Latto showed off her Angels love last year when the pro baller appeared on her show ‘Put It On The Floor’ music videos.
Check out Latto’s comments and interview below:
As previously reported by Shade roomReese was traded to the Chicago Sky on Monday, April 15. She was the number seven first-round draft pick.
Om3.com reports Reese will walk away with $73,439 in his first year with Sky. In 2025, she will earn $74,000 per year. Furthermore, this number will increase to more than 82,000 USD by 2026.
After Reese learned she would be playing in the Windy City, she asked her followers to give her a new nickname. Angel’s nickname was Bayou Barbie when she played for LSU. Even though she received a lot of advice from fans, she still announced the ultimate nickname for her followers.
“Hey guys, this is Chi Barbie,” she greeted her followers. “I want you all to know that I’m still going to be Bayou Barbie, but like, now I’m going to Chicago, so they basically inherited me in Chicago…the love from Chicago just got deeper and more crazy ,” she speaks.
The angel continued, “So I am Chi Barbie, I am Baltimore Barbie and I will always be Bayou Barbie.”
Good luck with your first season, sister!
