Angel Reese Makes Shocking Season-Ending Injury Announcement

Angel Reese’s season is officially over after suffering a wrist injury during the Chicago Sky’s win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday night. She made the shocking announcement on social media on Saturday night with a lengthy statement.

“What a year. I never would have imagined the last bucket of my rookie season would be a 3 but maybe that was God saying give them a taste of what they will be seeing more of in Year 2 lol,” Reese began. “Through it all, I have showed that I belong in this league even when no one else believed. All I have ever wanted was to come into the W and make an impact. I can confidently say I have done that and will strive to keep doing so. I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season ending injury, but also filled with so much gratitude for what is next. Although this is God’s timing and not mine, I am finally able to give myself a physical and mental break. ‘God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.’”

From there, Reese confirmed that she’d still be cheering her teammates on from the bench for the rest of the season. She concluded: “You’ll still see me being the biggest cheerleader on the sideline! And Unrivaled league, see you soon!” The Sky drafted Reese with the seventh overall pick in the 2024 draft after her stellar season for LSU. Her rookie season ends with her having league-leading 26 double-doubles. She had already set a WNBA record with 15 consecutive double-doubles earlier this season.

Are Angel Reese & G Herbo Dating?

Since the Bayou Barbie became one of the hottest players in women’s basketball, everyone has been trying to get a piece of Angel Reese. Fortunately for the WNBA’s Chicago Sky, she’s all theirs (at least until her contract is up). But on the romantic court, Angel Reese hasn’t appeared to publicly draft anyone to her roster.

However, that hasn’t stopped fans from tying the WNBA star to another prominent Chicago figure, which would make her “Hip-hop’s favorite rookie” title stick. Users online are convinced that Angel Reese and “No Guts, No Glory” rapper G Herbo are secretly dating. Now, Angel Reese has opened up about the ongoing rumors. Continue below for more information.

Are Angel Reese & G Herbo Dating?

Yesterday (September 5), during the premiere episode of her new podcast, Unapologetically Angel, Angel Reese addressed those pesky G Herbo dating rumors.

Around the episode’s 31-minute mark, Angel Reese brushed off the public’s speculation. According to Angel, her relationship with G Herbo is more sibling than lover. In fact, she called out users online for pushing it further than that based on dull video footage circulated online.

“You didn’t see me in the car kissing this man,” she said. “So, where did y’all get [dating] from?”

Angel’s comments were in response to co-host Maya Reese’s mentioning of the pair being spotted riding around Chicago together (viewable here) in late June. Angel revealed that the night in question, she, Herbo and two friends, who were seated in the back seats but obscured by the tinted windows, were leaving popular nightclub Bevy. Earlier in the month, Angel Reese and friends attended Herbo’s concert at the United Center, where the pair then connected backstage (viewable here).

Angel went on to say that G Herbo has been like a big brother to her since getting drafted to the team. He’s helped her navigate the city and is a go-to support system with any help she needs securing anything locally.

But for those who doubt her story, Angel added why she wouldn’t date G Herbo. “That man has three kids,” she said. “I don’t do kids.”

Watch the full episode of Unapologetically Angel above.

Angel Reese Sets The Record Straight On G Herbo Relationship

After months of speculation and debate, WNBA star Angel Reese is clearing things up around G Herbo. If you remember, a video taken by a fan in a car over from the rapper’s showed them riding around together. People online were split on this, as some were questioning the Chicago Sky forward for messing with a man who has kid’s and baby mamas. Then, you had others who weren’t trying to immediately jump to conclusions. They felt they were just hanging out as platonic friends. However, the dating rumors were fueled, perhaps accidentally, by Reese, with her posting a video to TikTok lip-syncing Dej Loaf’s “Try Me”.

The lyrical choice had commenters convinced she was referring to G Herbo. “All these n****s love me, can’t get ’em off me / F*** around, gave him my number, he won’t stop calling“. However, it was all smoke and mirrors because Angel Reese explains that they are essentially homies. The speculation was debunked in the first-ever episode of the hooper’s brand-new podcast, Unapologetically Angel.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Her co-host, Maya Reese, a veteran podcaster, content creator, and nonrelative, asked her about the G Herbo situation. Reese was adamant that he’s someone that’s going to have her back at all times. She explained that since she was drafted by the Sky, he’s essentially been a big brother to her. If she needs any help navigating Chicago, or really anything, Herbo is going to be at the ready. Angel also hilariously said that she’s 6’3″ and he’s around 5’10”, further putting the nail in the coffin, so to speak. Overall, though, it’s good to see that these are like siblings to each other, and we hope to see their relationship flourish.

What are your thoughts on Angel Reese clearing up the dating rumors surrounding her and G Herbo? Do you think we normalize that platonic relationships can’t exist anymore too much? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Mustard and Dr. Dre.

Angel Reese Addresses The Narrative That She Only Rebounds Her Own Misses

Angel Reese came into the WNBA as an established college basketball superstar. Overall, she was thrust into a rivalry with none other than Caitlin Clark. Clark struggled during her first few outings in the league, while Angel thrived thanks to her rebounding. Early in the season, it was believed that Reese was the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. However, in recent weeks, CC has completely taken over, while Reese has continued to be a rebounding machine.

Unfortunately, Reese has been wrapped up in a destructive narrative about her game. Objectively speaking, her shooting percentages at the rim are atrocious for someone of her size. More often than not, she gets more rebounds than she does points. This has subsequently led to some people claiming that all of her rebounds are from her own misses. While this is not literally the case, it is still a narrative that has people questioning whether or not Reese has a strong enough offensive bag.

Angel Reese Dives Into The Debate

After a recent loss, Reese was asked about the narrative surrounding her rebounds. This led to an interesting answer in which she stood up for herself and her abilities. “A lot of people think it’s because I get my own rebounds, but statistically, it’s not,” Reese stated. “A lot of people think it’s because I’m the tallest on the court, when I’m not the tallest on the court.” Reese is clearly not here for any of the slander, and you have to appreciate that. We cannot wait to see her continue to grow as a player.

Let us know what you think of Angel Reese and her rookie season, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that people are being too disrespectful to the Chicago Sky star? Do you believe she deserves rookie of the year over Clark? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Joe Budden Refuses To Back Down During Caitlin Clark Vs. Angel Reese Debate

Joe Budden is someone who has never shied away from inserting himself into some pretty massive debates. Overall, Budden has a podcast, so talking is kind of his whole job at this point. With that in mind, fans always expect him to be unfiltered with his thoughts on a particular subject. Most recently, Budden gave his opinion on none other than Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese of the WNBA. Both of these players are rivals and are currently competing for Rookie of the Year.

While Reese was a bit better than Clark early in the season, Clark has proven to be the better overall player. She is now leading the ROTY race, and fans are excited to see her prove herself in the postseason as the Indiana Fever continues to win games. Meanwhile, on the latest episode of his podcast, Budden dove into the Clark and Reese debate. As you can see below, he believes it is no context, and that Clark is Jordan, while Reese is Rodman.

Joe Budden Keeps It Honest

“I’m telling y’all, and I’m not trying to cause a kerfuffle, Caitlin Clark is a hell of a lot better than Angel Reese,” Budden explained. “Nobody ever said Ben Wallace could give Michael Jordan a run for his money. And [Reese] is grabbing all the boards in the world — hey, the double-double princess — and she got a podcast now, and she got a Reese’s Pieces deal. I’m telling y’all that Caitlin Clark, if we’re talking about a basketball… she has been on an absolute warpath since y’all left her off the Olympics. And I’m not just gonna ignore it because she’s white. She is smoking you b****** out there.”

Let us know what you think of Joe’s comments, down below. Do you agree that Caitlin Clark has been better than Angel Reese so far this year? Do you believe that it is inevitable that Clark will end up winning rookie of the year? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Angel Reese Is Nicki Minaj Fans’ Latest Target After Supposedly ‘Disrespecting’ Her On TikTok

Angel Reese has become hip-hop’s favorite basketball player over the past few months, drawing Latto to sit courtside at one of her games and appearing onstage with Megan Thee Stallion during her Chicago tour stop.

But fans of one rapper have seemingly turned on the record-breaking WNBA star after she supposedly “disrespected” Nicki Minaj in a video on TikTok. The Barbz are now attempting to undercut the All-Star, digging up more examples of perceived anti-Minaj sentiment. So, what’s got the notoriously prickly fanbase riled this time?

In the TikTok video, Reese and some friends are seen lounging in the entrance hall of a mansion listening to the remix of Sexyy Red’s breakout single “Pound Town.” Reese appears for a few seconds to lip-sync to the lyrics and lightly twerk, but slides out of the frame as Minaj’s verse starts. This was, in the view of some Barbz, a sign that Reese does not mess with the Queens rapper, and the green light to dig up as much dirt as they could find.

It didn’t take long for them to find a video of Reese answering an interview question about who she’d want to perform if she hosted SNL in which she names Cardi B, GloRilla, Latto, and Megan Thee Stallion. The Barbz noted that she did NOT say Nicki Minaj — because nobody is allowed to have their own opinions, I guess — and that everybody she DID name has been targeted by Minaj (conveniently ignoring the common denominator here).

Of course, cooler heads have pointed out how much Barbz appear to be overreacting.

Angel Reese Draws Wrath Of The Barbz For Alleged Nicki Minaj Disrespect

Fanbases in general are unique, obviously. But Nicki Minaj’s, also known as The Barbz, are a different breed. If we had to select one word in order to describe them, it would be toxic. Sadly, it’s part of the reason why the superstar femcee can be seen as controversial. Fans are great for a lot of reasons, but sometimes they can taint the image of the musician. The Barbz do exactly that and quite often as well. If they spot a sliver of what could be disrespect, you best believe they are all over it. Unfortunately, the target in their crosshairs is someone who really does not need nor deserve the extra criticism. That would be WNBA star Angel Reese, who is being accused of hating on Nicki Minaj in a recent TikTok video.

The Chicago Sky forward is seen with some friends of hers, with one of them dancing. Reese joins in before Nicki begins to rap. However, has soon as the Pink Friday 2 creator begins, the athlete dips out of the camera’s frame. Yes, this is apparently a slight to the almighty Queen of New York and The Barbz are letting Reese hear about it.

Angel Reese Has Made Another New Enemy In The Form Of Nicki’s Fans

They are digging up old clips, such as one of her being asked about which musical guest she would like to have on if she were to host an episode of SNL. In that interview she listed all of Nicki’s foes such as Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Cardi B, and GloRilla. It is worth mentioning that Reese had been onstage with several of these femcees. Latto had even popped out to the basketball player’s pro debut to show her support. It’s most likely playing a role in this Barbz attack and at the end of the day, all we can do is throw our hands up in the air and sigh. Thankfully, though, some Twitter users came to Reese’s defense.

What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj’s fans claiming that Angel Reese is disrespecting her? Do you think her moving out of frame when she start’s rapping warrants this backlash, why or why not? Does the Trinidadian artist have the pettiest fanbase of any MC? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Angel Reese and Nicki Minaj.
