Latto’s trip to Chicago was driven by a singular purpose: Angel Reese’s WNBA debut. Reese’s inaugural game with the Chicago Sky attracted considerable attention, with rapper Latto even arriving via private jet to witness the event firsthand.
In a tweet response, Reese enthusiastically acknowledged Latto’s presence, emphasizing her significance. This wasn’t their first encounter; Reese had previously appeared in Latto’s music video for “Put It On Da Floor Again (feat. Cardi B).”
Latto shared the full story on social media after the game, posting a TikTok video of her boarding her private jet immediately afterward. Her luxurious travel arrangements stood out, especially considering the slow implementation of charter flight policies in the WNBA.
“I came here strictly for Angel Reese. I’m out,” Latto declared before departing on the jet. Reese echoed this sentiment, reposting Latto’s video on Twitter with the caption, “love you bookiesss … In & OUT LITERALLY!”
However, Latto’s extravagant journey to support Reese highlighted a double standard that has frustrated WNBA fans. The game against the Dallas Wings was not nationally televised, limiting access to those outside Chicago, contrasting starkly with Caitlin Clark’s highly anticipated debut with the Indiana Fever, which aired on ESP2 and became the most-watched WNBA game since 2001.
Despite the lack of national coverage, Reese’s ability to attract major celebrities like Latto underscores her significant social influence and her potential to draw new fans to the WNBA, awaiting the league’s recognition of her star power.
