Angel Reese is serving up some serious heat, and her critics are catching it full blast. On March 29, the Chicago Sky phenom fired off a no-nonsense 4-word message on X: “STFU or don’t watch” right after dropping a new Unapologetically Angel podcast episode featuring rapper Chrisean Rock.
With those harsh words, Reese clapped back at haters slamming her guest choice. “This my podcast. STFU or don’t watch. Thank ya.” With a rookie season that turned heads and an Unrivaled League title in her pocket, Reese is owning her lane, and the internet’s going wild.
The drama kicked off when Rock, known for her rollercoaster headlines, hit Reese’s pod. X users lit up with shade, with one user sniped: “Angel giving a platform to someone who smoked and drank while pregnant? Smh“. Reese didn’t flinch: her “STFU or don’t watch” was a sassy brick wall, shutting down the noise with zero apologies.
It’s pure Reese, unfiltered and fierce, just like her 13.1 rebounds per game that snagged her a WNBA All-Star nod last year. “I’m a dog. You can’t teach that,” she told ESPN’s Holly Rowe after a June 2024 win, grit that’s now aimed square at her doubters.
Why Reese’s ‘STFU’ reply is blowing up social media
She’s been dodging flak since her LSU days-remember that “You Can’t See Me” taunt to Caitlin Clark in the 2023 NCAA title game? Critics pounced then too, but now, with a Defensive Player of the Year award from Unrivaled and a Vogue cover, she’s laughing last.
Social media is a split scene, with some fans stan hard, like one who posted: “Angel’s 4 words are everything-haters stay mad!” Others aren’t sold: “Clout chasing with Rock? Lame,” another jabbed, per trending chatter. Either way, her podcast’s her turf, and she’s not budging.
Reese’s rise isn’t just talk-her 4.5 million Instagram followers and Sky-high stats (13.6 points per game) scream star power. “This my podcast,” she doubled down in that X post, a flex that’s got her 2025 season hype soaring. Fans are split, but her “STFU or don’t watch” vibe’s clear: love it or leave it, she’s running this show her way, and the buzz is deafening.
