Video has emerged of Angel Reese in Los Angeles on Sunday dancing on stage with Usher up close and personal at his concert. Fans of the WNBA star were quick to voice their concerns on social media because of the speculation surrounding Usher‘s connection to disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Usher and Diddy controversy
Over the weekend, thousands of old posts were deleted from Usher’s X account around the same time that news broke of Diddy’s latest arrest. Rumors ran wild, but the singer claimed on Sunday that his account was hacked.
Their relationship goes back to Usher’s teenage years, when he used to live with Diddy in New York. Combs served as his legal guardian and helped launch his music career, going as far as producing his first studio album, Usher.
Angel Reese popped out in LA
It didn’t stop Reese and thousands of others from attending Usher’s show in L.A, which featured appearances from LL Cool J, Boyz II Men, and the Chicago Sky‘s rookie superstar.
As the WNBA playoffs began, Reese started her Sunday by watching the New York Liberty demolish the Atlanta Dream before making her way to the wild Rams vs 49ers NFL game that had as much rivalry drama as when Reese faces Caitlin Clark on the hardwood.
In the evening, she made an appearance at Jordyn Woods‘ swanky Hollywood birthday party, before capping the night at the Usher concert.
What is Usher’s relationship with Angel Reese?
Reese met up with Usher earlier this year when the Sky played in Atlanta, and Usher joined the team in the locker room after the game. They are likely to have many shared connections in the music industry, as Reese is friends with artists like Cardi B, Meg Thee Stallion, Latto, and GloRilla, among others.
While the exact nature of their relationship is unknown, fans of the Chi Town Barbie are wary of the smooth-talking Super Bowl performer, whose relationship with Diddy is under intense scrutiny at the moment.
“GET AWAY FROM HEEERRRRRRR,” screamed one comment on X, while others placed some blame on Reese’s judgement as well.
“Going to a man concert with weird cases is crazy.”
