Angel Reese Fires Back at Critics Over Podcast Guest Choice

Chicago Sky star Angel Reese isn’t holding back when it comes to defending her podcast choices. On Saturday, Reese addressed criticism over her decision to feature rapper Chrisean Rock on the latest episode of her podcast, "Unapologetically Angel."

The move sparked controversy, as Rock, a Baltimore native like Reese, has faced a slew of legal troubles and has been criticized for allegedly smoking while pregnant. But Reese wasn’t about to let critics rain on her parade. She made her stance crystal clear on X (formerly Twitter), bluntly stating, "this my podcast. stfu or don’t watch. thank ya." Well, that’s one way to remind people who’s in charge.

Reese launched her podcast toward the end of her rookie WNBA season, which was unfortunately cut short due to an injury. Despite the setback, her first year was impressive. She averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, earned a spot as an All-Star, and even snagged an MVP vote. While she finished runner-up to Caitlin Clark for Rookie of the Year, Reese’s performance solidified her as a rising force in the league.

The Chicago Sky, Reese’s team, is looking to bounce back after missing the playoffs last season. The team has undergone some significant changes, including a new head coach, Tyler Marsh, and the addition of players like Courtney Vandersloot and Kia Nurse. The Sky clearly mean business for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, Reese’s unapologetic approach to her podcast is as fiery as her game on the court. It’s clear she’s not losing sleep over public opinion. Love her or hate her, Angel Reese is doing things her way.
