On Apr. 11, Angel Reese attended the "C-Suite Ballers" show by Uninterrupted and revealed the behind-the-scenes efforts of making the retirement happen in time.
"I wanna retire my mom in January, and I was like no perfect time than her birthday," Reese said (1:11:30). "So, I called my financial advisor, and I was like, 'let's retire my mom,' and he was like, 'alright, let's get her tax information."
