Angel Reese has never been far from the celebrity scene, thanks to her fashion-forward personality and those “video vixen” vibes she’s embraced since stepping into the spotlight. So, of course, she couldn’t let the weekend go by without giving a shout out to rapper and singer Latto, who celebrated her birthday on Sunday. The ‘Chi-Town Barbie’ had a sweet message for Latto—no surprise considering the rapper was a guest on her podcast just a few months ago in September.
Reese and Latto have shared a tight bond since her college days, and that connection shone through again when the rapper celebrated her 26th birthday on December 22. Latto went all out for her big day, showing off a chic, airplane-themed birthday setup in a video she posted. However, when Reese noticed it, she didn’t just drop a casual comment and took it up a notch, reposting the video on her Instagram story with a heartfelt message for her longtime friend.
She shared the clip on her story, adding, “UGH CAN’T WAIT UNTIL TT BABY PLAYS BASKETBALL & A RAPPER,” followed by a smirk emoji. The Sky’s #5 seemed to hint at Latto’s future child inheriting basketball skills while also channeling their mom’s rapping talent.
Latto, meanwhile, had captioned the clip, “Check back in 9 months #26.”
Just weeks earlier, rumors had been swirling about Latto’s possible pregnancy after a clip from her recent ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’ tour stop in Atlanta, Georgia, went viral. In the video, Latto rocked jeans, a white T-shirt, and an Ed Hardy jacket while performing on stage.
