If LSU hopes to win the NCAA title again, Angel Reese needs to continue playing at a high level. Louisiana-born rapper Lil Wayne offers guidance to “Bayou Barbie” as she and the Lady Tigers make their way back to the top.

Louisiana native and rapper Lil Wayne shared some important advice with LSU women’s basketball star Angel Reese recently. Known affectionately as “Bayou Barbie,” Reese has become a prominent figure in NCAA basketball. However, her journey hasn’t been devoid of challenges, most recently her four-game absence this season.

Lil Wayne, familiar with the pressures of early fame from his time with Cash Money Records, understands the intricacies of living in the limelight. In a recent podcast for Bleacher Report, he emphasized his support for women’s basketball and took the opportunity to offer Reese guidance.

“Angel’s a smart, smart young lady, very smart. She takes time to think about the decisions she’s gonna make, rather than your opinion in right or wrong, she takes time to think about them before she makes ’em… Angel has reached out to me before, not even about this situation,” Lil Wayne said. “”The advice I would give her, though… is just embrace every part of it, you know, embrace every single part of it – ’cause if you do, you will know it will never be always amazing. It will never be always good. It will probably be the majority tough, not bad, but it will be majority tough, so you’ll enjoy the good and the amazing much more.”
