LSU women’s basketball star Angel Reese has come clean about rumors that she is dating NBA rapper Youngboy.
Reese — a 6-foot-3 sophomore forward and the NIL’s leading scorer — took to Twitter Thursday, writing:
“I am not this GF man. Please stop.’
Reese then referenced a video featuring fellow phenom Flau’jae Johnson about the romance rumors.
“You know I’m with that Youngboy,” Johnson said in the clip, which showed the Tigers heading to the locker room during March Madness.
“Wow @Flaujae,” Reese wrote, adding a tearful laughing emoji. “Since you want to play I got the total for you.”
