She claimed, “Hating pays my bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at [in Chicago]. I’m gonna do the math real quick. I don’t even know my [WNBA] salary.”
She thenspoke about how much she paid for rent, which shocked some viewers.
“Yo, I’m living beyond my means!” She then turned to someone nearby and clarified, “No, my rent is actually more than that. It’s $8,000. I’m living beyond my means.” She added, “Babe, if y’all thought… I couldn’t even afford a sandwich with [the WNBA salary]. I wouldn’t even be able to live.”
The clip sparked mixed reactions online, with some suggesting she may be overspending.
One user commented, “8k for rent?! I don’t care how much I make. Ain’t that much luxury in the world.”
Another wrote, “I like Angel Reese, but she might wanna keep track of what she’s spending her money on or get a better financial advisor. That $8,000 alone in rent is just ridiculous, look into a house.”

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
