WNBA star Angel Reese listens to Latto to hype herself up before games, and every time she hears one song in particular, she is transported back to a special moment in her career.
“The song that brings back the best memories is ‘Put It on Da Floor Again’ by Latto and Cardi B,” the Chicago Sky player, 22, reveals exclusively in the latest edition of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. “It reminds me of my championship season at LSU and being in the music video with two of my favorite artists.”
The music video for the song — which gives a shout-out to Reese’s college team with the lyric “I been ballin’ so damn hard, could’ve went to LSU” — was released in June 2023, and features a cameo from the LSU MVP herself.
As Cardi B sings the basketball-related lyric in the video, the camera pans to Reese as she stands imposingly, staring at the camera.
