Latto was courtside to witness Angel Reese make her WNBA debut for the Chicago Sky against the Dallas Wings.
The “Sunday Service” hitmaker made sure she was in town to see the former LSU Tigers women’s college basketball star play her first game at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.
After explaining that she came to watch Angel Reese in action, Latto shared her thoughts on the current buzz surrounding the WNBA. According to Latto, it’s time for the ladies to shine. “It’s the year of the woman, it’s the year of the female, it’s the year of the girl,” she said during a courtside interview. “I’m here for the girl power period. Let’s go Angel Reese.”
She added, “I love Texas, but I did want to be at her first game. You know everybody going to come later, but we did it first.”
