"Hating pays too" - Angel Reese drops cryptic post following harsh reviews for her podcast with Kayla Nicole

Angel Reese posted a cryptic message on X on Friday after facing criticism for the latest episode of her podcast. The Chicago Sky young forward sat down with Kayla Nicole in Thursday's edition of her 'Unapologetically Angel' show to discuss various topics, including Nicole's past relationship with Travis Kelce.

One day after the episode's release, Reese took to X to leave an apparent message to those who criticize her show and the type of content she's giving to fans.

"Hating pays too💅🏽," the former LSU star tweeted.

During the episode, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year runner-up touched on some sensitive topics, including Kelse's new relationship with world-famous Taylor Swift. Some fans were quick to call her out, with one commenting that her statement about liking Kelce and Nicole together was "weird and unprofessional."

"I liked you guys together… just saying” was such a weird and unprofessional comment to make," a fan said.

Another fan criticized Reese for hyping up Nicole's story about a wild relationship experience, stating:

"And this air head Angel Reese talking about “clock that” just two birds squawking and looking retarded together 😂😂😂😂," another fan said.

It's easy to see where these people are coming from, but Reese doesn't seem to be losing sleep over any of that. She had plenty more to say during the episode, but those didn't get as much controversy as the discussion surrounding Swift and Kelce.
