NCAA Division 1 women’s basketball tournament culminated last night with a one-sided Final taking place between the Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU Tigers at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The Tigers came out victorious in the epic battle as multiple players displayed their mettle on the big stage. LSU’s versatile guard Angel Reese was one of the biggest stars to come out of March Madness. Her name trended throughout the month and the 20-year-old even had to shut down a rumor suggesting she was dating a millionaire rapper over a week before lifting the trophy.

The millionaire rapper who was being linked with Reese is none other than Kentrell Gaulden, popularly known by his stage name NBA YoungBoy. The 23-year-old rapper is one of the rising stars who has shown great versatility on his projects. He has also worked with notable artists like Quavo, Lil Yachty, and Juice WRLD among others. Both the rising stars of their respective fields became the talk of the town in the past week.

Last month, Raphousetv shared a post on their official Twitter handle that suggested that NBA YoungBoy was dating Reese. However, shortly after the post circulated on the internet, the 20-year-old entered the scene to speak the truth. She responded to the post by saying, “(A string of emojis) I’m not this man GF. please stop”

Her remarks expressed that she was apparently frustrated and there was nothing going on between them. Incidentally, the two rising stars of their respective fields have connected with each other in the past over social media. In fact, they once interacted on Instagram Live where they were discussing the possibility of the 23-year-old being present during one of the Tigers forward’s games.
