Angel Reese Gets New Nickname After WNBA Draft, 'The Chi Barbie'

Angel Reese is no longer the "Bayou Barbie!"

Nope ... the new WNBA rookie says she wants to be called the "Chi Barbie" now instead.

The former LSU hoops star made the announcement Thursday ... just a couple days after the Chicago Sky selected her with the 7th overall pick in the draft.

"Hey y'all," the 21-year-old said in a video on her TikTok page. "So, it's the Chi Barbie here."
