Angel Reese set social media abuzz with a playful, seven-word birthday message to rapper Latto, fueling speculation about potential pregnancy rumors. The post, which hinted at something more than just birthday wishes, has left fans eagerly awaiting more details, as Reese’s teasing comments have ignited a flurry of online chatter.

Angel Reese has never been far from the celebrity scene, thanks to her fashion-forward personality and those “video vixen” vibes she’s embraced since stepping into the spotlight. So, of course, she couldn’t let the weekend go by without giving a shout out to rapper and singer Latto, who celebrated her birthday on Sunday. The ‘Chi-Town Barbie’ had a sweet message for Latto—no surprise considering the rapper was a guest on her podcast just a few months ago in September.

Reese and Latto have shared a tight bond since her college days, and that connection shone through again when the rapper celebrated her 26th birthday on December 22. Latto went all out for her big day, showing off a chic, airplane-themed birthday setup in a video she posted. However, when Reese noticed it, she didn’t just drop a casual comment and took it up a notch, reposting the video on her Instagram story with a heartfelt message for her longtime friend.

She shared the clip on her story, adding, “UGH CAN’T WAIT UNTIL TT BABY PLAYS BASKETBALL & A RAPPER,” followed by a smirk emoji. The Sky’s #5 seemed to hint at Latto’s future child inheriting basketball skills while also channeling their mom’s rapping talent.

Latto, meanwhile, had captioned the clip, “Check back in 9 months #26.”

Just weeks earlier, rumors had been swirling about Latto’s possible pregnancy after a clip from her recent ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’ tour stop in Atlanta, Georgia, went viral. In the video, Latto rocked jeans, a white T-shirt, and an Ed Hardy jacket while performing on stage.

Fans couldn’t help but speculate about a noticeable bump, sparking questions about whether the rapper might be expecting. But Latto quickly shut down the chatter with her trademark candor. Taking to X, she shared a screenshot of her verse from GloRilla’s track ‘Procedure,’ which read “B***h, I’m big mama, but ain’t none these **** worth my womb.” 

The singer’s recent birthday post could reignite those pregnancy rumors, even if it was all in good humor. Adding to the buzz, Angel Reese’s playful comment about Latto’s future kid pursuing basketball and rapping only adds more fuel to the swirling speculation. But that wasn’t the only message Reese shared on Latto’s special day. She also wrote a heartfelt note reflecting their strong friendship.

Prior to Latto sharing her birthday clip, Reese had already posted a four-photo collage that captured their close bond through candid moments. Along with the pictures, she wrote a heartfelt note that read, “happy birthday to my BIG MAMA! love you sis! thank you for always loving & supporting me! You keep getting FINE by TIME!” And Reese’s affection for the rapper is no surprise, as she’s previously shared that Latto’s music holds some of her best memories.

In an interview with Us Weekly, the Chicago Sky player revealed, “The song that brings back the best memories is ‘Put It on Da Floor Again’ by Latto and Cardi B. It reminds me of my championship season at LSU and being in the music video with two of my favorite artists.” This highlights her love for Latto’s music, and in a full-circle moment, Latto returned the favor by showing support for Reese during her debut.

Latto, famous for her courtside cheers for the Atlanta Hawks, turned her attention to the women’s game in May. On May 15th, when LSU alum Angel Reese made her debut with the Chicago Sky against the Dallas Wings, Latto made sure to attend the game in person to show her support.

During a sideline interview, when asked about her presence, Latto kept it simple with two words: “Angel Reese.” Now, Latto’s 26th birthday is another moment showcasing the strong bond between these two stars from different worlds—basketball and rap. What’s even more intriguing is whether Latto’s future child will follow Reese’s wish to pursue basketball, rap, or carve out their own unique path.
