ANGEL REESE has found herself on the receiving end of a brutal snub from rapper Ice Cube.
The former NWA star recently made a play to sign Reese’s nemesis Caitlin Clark, to his BIG3 basketball league.

According to reports, the Indiana Fever star was offered a whopping $15million to join the three-on-three league.
But after missing out on Clark, Ice Cube – real name O’Shea Jackson – has revealed the same offer won’t be sent Reese’s way.
Cube’s snub of Reese is purely numbers-driven, with the rap icon claiming sponsors told him Clark would be a much bigger financial draw than the Chicago Sky forward.
He told TMZ: “They didn’t tell us the same thing about Angel Reese. I don’t know if we can make that same offer.”
Had she accepted the offer on the table from the BIG3, Clark would’ve become the first woman to play in a men’s North American professional basketball league.
According to BIG3 co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz, Clark’s salary would’ve seen her take home a cool $10m.
He also claims she would’ve received a “percentage of team ownership worth millions, 50 per cent of merchandising revenues from her name and likeness, and ownership of a BIG3 documentary with a seven-figure advance.”
The BIG3, which was founded in 2017, is slowly but surely increasing in popularity.

But it has an incredibly long way to go to catch up to the popularity of the NBA and WNBA.
Cube, however, is happy with how far the league has come since its inception.
The 56-year-old: “We got some great players. Lance Stephenson, Dwight Howard.
“Wesley Johnson’s been great, Montrezl Harrell’s been great. The league has been must-see TV for sure.”
