Angel Reese chasing her dream of being a “Video Vixen”

The Baltimore native has already dipped her toes into the music world, appearing in a music video and proving she can collaborate beyond the basketball court. In fact, she’s been open about her interest in taking a different path. “This is a different kind of route for me. I had never— I always said I wanted to be like a video vixen. I don’t know why I always said that,” Reese shared on her podcast earlier when she hosted fellow stars Latto and Mariah the Scientist.

While still a star at LSU last year, Reese made a memorable cameo in one of Latto and Cardi B’s music video “Put It on Da Floor Again”. The song even gave a shout-out to Reese’s college team with the line, “I been ballin’ so damn hard, could’ve went to LSU.” As Cardi B delivered the basketball-inspired lyric, the camera zoomed in on Reese, who confidently stood tall and locked eyes with the lens.

Later in her podcast, Reese also opened up about how both excited and nervous she felt when the chance to appear in the music video came her way. “I always said I wanted to be a little video vixen, and then when you (Latto) DM’ed me, I was like, I had to text my agent, like, ‘Should I do this?’ I was like, ‘Is it going to be ghetto?’ I didn’t know what to expect. It was ghetto,” said Reese when hosted Latto.

As Reese makes the most of her off-season—attending New York fashion shows, posing with Cardi B, and hosting top-tier celebrities—her recent podcast episode with GloRilla suggests she might soon fulfill her dream of being a video vixen once again. While the timing of her off-court project remains uncertain, one thing is clear: fans can look forward to seeing her back on the court at the Unrivaled League, set to kick off next January.
