Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky quickly turned from ballers to fangirls after Usher made a surprise appearance. The R&B singer visited the ladies in their locker room after a win over the Las Vegas Aces on July 16.
In the viral clip, the Sky’s coach, Teresa Weatherspoon, escorted the living legend inside. You could hear the hysterical screams as Usher entered! To say the hoopers were gitty would be an understatement. You wouldn’t think the women were just on the hardwood a few minutes earlier aggressively playing their opponents!
The entertainer wore dark shades and a white T-shirt and flashed his pearly whites, and the women went bananas at the sight of him. He said, “Congratulations,” applauded the team’s victory, walked around the locker room, and high-fived every player.
Furthermore, they took a group picture with the ‘May Way’ singer, and the athletes said, “Usher Baby” at the count of three. Angel was seated on the floor in front of him and did a body roll as she recited the words. The women’s giggles filled the room after the camera snapped.
Additionally, Reese nabbed a selfie video with the crooner. She requested that he say, “Usher baby.” He obliged, and Angel gleefully laughed as she walked away.
Commenters under The Shade Room’s Instagram report weighed in on the women’s interaction with the R&B star.
