NBA Youngboy chimed in after Reese said that she wanted to appear as a video vixen in Lil Wayne & Flau'jae's collab.

NBA Youngboy has his eye on Angel Reese. The LSU star is coming off of a big win that’s stirred up quite the debate. Her hand gestures earned criticism, though she’s also made some fans among hip-hop’s elite. Just days before the tournament, Lil Wayne hopped on FaceTime with her to wish her and her team luck but it seems like NBA Youngboy’s also invested in LSU’s success, whether on the court or in the booth.

Lil Wayne recently indicated that he has music in the works with Flau’jae, the LSU guard who also has a promising music career ahead of her. Flau’jae appeared on The Rap Game when she was 13 years old and later, inked a deal with Roc Nation. However, with a potential Wayne feature in the pipeline, it seems like things are only going up from here. Still, Angel Reese wants in as a video vixen in the upcoming music video. “Just let me be the video vixen,” she wrote.

NBA Youngboy Wants In 

It seems like Flau’jae might get some ad-libs from NBA Youngboy in the future as well. The rapper hopped on Instagram where he appeared to shoot his shot and land an appearance alongside Reese. “And just let me do the humming,” YB wrote after quoting her tweet. Given that Lousiana State University is located in NBA Youngboy’s hometown of Baton Rouge, his appearance on the record would make nothing short of appropriate.

After he shared the tweet, he hopped on Instagram Live with Angel Reese who said that he should’ve popped up to one of her games. Given that he’s been on house arrest, it seems unlikely that he would’ve been able to show face. However, she encouraged him to tune into her game on Friday, April 7th at 4pm. Youngboy promised that he’d tune in to the game. Shortly after, Reese took to Twitter where she celebrated the victory with a slight reference to YB’s lyrics. “Who sliding to the parade outside the city tomorrow. WE OUTSIDE,” she wrote. Hopefully, we’ll end up catching YB and Angel Reese in Flau’jae’s upcoming collaboration with Lil Wayne.
