Angel Reese Demands $50K Bonus After Slamming WNBA Salaries Following Unrivaled Championship Win

Angel Reese secured the first-ever championship title of the Unrivaled League on Monday evening, along with a $50,000 prize.

Reese, who won the college national championship with LSU in 2023 was associated with Rose BC alongside Chelsea Gray, Lexie Hull, Kahleah Copper, Azura Stevens, and Brittney Sykes.

Every participant secured the bonus, and it’s fair to mention that Reese was quite excited.

"Got 50K needed!" she tweeted right after securing the victory.

This led Sydney Colson, who recently inked a one-year contract with Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever, to jest about Reese providing her with funds.

"Hey angel girl, just wanted to check in and see how ur doing and just let u know I’m here for u if u need anything…esp if u need to get rid of 50k by tomorrow or anything like that…" Colson replied to Reese's post.

But Reese turned it down, and it seems her original post wasn't much of sarcasm.

"hey sista. i’m doing well. just won 50k on a flight. I know you are VERY aware & i’m sorry to break it to you but i’m on a rookie contract & that 50k was a little more than half of my contract so I have to keep that to myself…. sorry :( give me a few years and i gotchu. be well," Reese replied .

Reese has spoken about WNBA contracts recently - she made just under $75,000 in her rookie season and will make less than that this upcoming year.

"I’m living beyond my means. Hating pays them bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all," she said back in October. "I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at. Let me do the math real quick. I don’t even know my (WNBA) salary, $74,000?"

Reese also said earlier this month that she's willing to "stay at the negotiating table for as long as it takes" to get players more money.

Reese was named the Defensive Player of the Year in the inaugural season.

K-Pop's Global Stage: Japanese Top Idol Groups Take Center Stage in Korean Music Shows

Sho Yonashiro, the 30-year-old leader of Japanese idol group JO1, recently filmed an episode of Mnet’s “M Countdown” at CJ ENM’s headquarters in Seoul. JO1, whose members are all Japanese, was formed through “Produce 101 Japan,” a joint Korean-Japanese audition program. The group is part of a growing wave of localized K-pop groups that follow the K-pop production model but are based in Japan. Until recently, these groups kept a low profile regarding their Korean connections, concerned about criticism in Japan for focusing too much on overseas activities. But that mindset has started to change. Yonashiro said, “We often study K-pop trends, fashion, and the Korean language together,” and even danced the viral “Han River Cat Challenge” that recently trended on Korean TikTok. Japanese acts such as JO1, &TEAM, ME:I, and INI have started making frequent appearances on Korean music programs despite not having debuted in Korea. This trend gained prominence following JYP Entertainm...
