Angel Reese Gets No Attention as Chicago Star’s Harsh Scolding Makes $14M Worth YouTuber’s Football Life Tough
Angel Reese doesn’t just lead—she takes charge. Whether it’s on the basketball court or the flag football field, she brings the same fierce energy. Coaching a team at the Super Bowl Flag Football Game on February 8, she made one thing clear: there was no room for sugarcoating. But her no-nonsense approach left a certain $14 million celebrity learning a tough lesson—being captain doesn’t mean calling the shots.
In a recent episode of her YouTube channel, “Unapologetically Angel,” Reese pulled back the curtain on what went down behind the scenes. From setting expectations to dealing with Kai Cenat, Reese gave a candid breakdown of the experience.
“We got players that don’t want to listen already. What y’all doing? My players are not listening, y’all!” she vented at one point. Later, she reflected on how tough coaching and getting attention could be: “I don’t like players that don’t listen. That’s why Kim [Mulkey] was on me like that. I get it now. I understand.”
One of the players struggling under Reese’s firm but playful approach was none other than popular YouTuber and streamer Kai Cenat.
In a hilarious back-and-forth, Kai tried to negotiate for more playing time, insisting, “I need as many minutes as I can get.” But Reese wasn’t about to let him slide. “Okay, listen. I’m just being honest here. If you’re not playing well, I’m subbing you out,” she said with a grin.
Kai, taken aback, pressed for clarity. “Wait, so if I’m bad, you’re taking me out?” Reese didn’t hesitate. “Yep! Do your job.” Refusing to back down, Kai pulled out his trump card: “But, but—I’m the captain!” Reese wasn’t buying it. “That don’t mean nothing,” she shot back. Kai finally conceded, laughing. “Alright, I respect that. If I’m not playing well, sub me out. But if I’m not on that field enough, I’m gonna let you know.” Reese smirked, giving him a reality check. “Fair, but you can’t be selfish. I’ve seen you at the All-Star game before, and you just wanted to score and not pass the ball.”
Kai, in full defense mode, protested. “No, no, no. I went 100% from the field at Sunbury!” But Reese wasn’t letting him off that easy. “You only took one shot,” she pointed out, making Kai scramble for another excuse. “Yeah, but they subbed me out! That was Janine’s call!” The playful banter summed up the dynamic—Cenat might be a star online, but on Reese’s team, he had to earn his minutes like everyone else.
Cenat, who played only 12 minutes in the NBA Celebrity Game, finishing with four points, one steal, and one block while shooting 2-for-6 from the field, was clearly looking for redemption in the NFL flag football game against Team Speed. His competitive spirit was evident, but Reese wasn’t about to let him slide with anything less than full effort.
But despite Reese’s tough love and Kai’s hunger for redemption, Team Speed stole the show in a star-studded showdown.

Despite Kai’s determination and Angel Reese’s no-nonsense coaching style, the game ultimately went to Team Speed, who edged out a 30-29 victory. The matchup wasn’t just about competition—it was a star-studded spectacle featuring legends and internet sensations alike. Team Speed, led by streamer iShowSpeed, had former NFL MVP Cam Newton as their quarterback and was coached by former NFL safety Ryan Clark. Their lineup included rapper Quavo, musicians Latto and Sexyy Red, viral sensation Khaby, and elite flag football quarterback Diana Flores.

On the other side, Team Kai was led by Kai Cenat, with retired NFL star Michael Vick commanding the offense. With Angel Reese calling the shots as head coach, the team featured a mix of influencers, athletes, and entertainers, including Duke Dennis, Deestroying, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, and Shedeur Sanders. The game took place at the Super Bowl Experience in New Orleans on February 8, serving as a high-energy precursor to Super Bowl LIX.
Reese’s Super Bowl appearance wasn’t just about calling plays—it was a full-circle flex. A die-hard football fan, she’s been rocking with the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears for years. And this time, she switched things up, throwing her support behind the Philadelphia Eagles. Riding the Jalen Hurts wave, she joined forces with her close friend and WNBA star Kahleah Copper, proving that when it comes to sports loyalty, Reese knows how to keep things interesting.
With a massive audience tuning in for the star-studded event, Reese proved that whether she’s playing or coaching, she brings the same energy and passion. And while Cenat may have felt the heat, it was all in good fun—just another lesson in the competitive world of sports.
