Angel Reese recently commented on a post from the Chicago Sky’s official account on social media, poking fun at her newest teammate, Rachel Banham.
The Sky posted a picture of Banham, quietly comparing the Chicago guard to American rapper Latto.
They made a joke that Banham had dropped her album on Thursday and then showed up to practice on Friday since the rapper from Atlanta released her album less than 24 hours ago.
“Dropped an album last night, then showed up to practice this morning (iykyk),” posted the Chicago Sky.
Angel Reese then responded with the message, “BIG MAMAAAA,” which is a nickname for Latto.
Fans seem to believe the comparison was spot-on, with over 60 comments posting laughing emojis or hilarious responses.
Banham was added to the Sky’s roster via trade during the WNBA’s break in the season for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Chicago traded for Banham, Moriah Jefferson, a 2025 first-round pick, and the right to a 2026 first-round pick swap from the Connecticut Sun. The Sky dealt Marina Mabrey and a 2025 second-round pick in the trade.
Banham has averaged 4.8 points and 1.2 rebounds per game during the 2024 WNBA season. She was previously selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 WNBA draft.
Angel Reese, Banham, and the Sky will be back on the hard court, returning from the WNBA’s hiatus on Aug. 15 at 8 p.m. against the Phoenix Mercury.
Banham will make her team debut, while Reese looks to pick up where she left off in the first half of the WNBA season.
The first-year star averaged 13.5 points and 11.9 rebounds during her first few months in the league.
