The social media sphere buzzed with intrigue after a TikTok user posted a video capturing a silver Tesla Cybertruck on a Chicago street.
As the camera zoomed in, the individuals in the vehicle began to come into focus. The man driving bore a striking resemblance to the rapper G Herbo, while the woman in the passenger seat appeared to be WNBA player Angel Reese.
The TikTok caption, somewhat provocatively, noted, “Look at Angel Reese & GHerbo ??????,” sparking a flurry of comments and shares.

Further stirring the pot, the TikToker claimed in the comment section to possess additional evidence of Reese and Herbo’s interactions, including footage of the two in a popular Chicago nightclub, Bevy. “& I have video of them in bevy last night…” they commented in response to another user, adding, “I also have video of them in the club. I only deal in facts. next.”
This claim seemed to gain some validation when footage from DJ Sean Mac also surfaced, placing both individuals at Bevy the previous evening.
The video quickly found its way to The Shade Room, where it became a hot topic among followers. The responses varied widely, with some social media users insisting that the sighting was entirely innocuous. Instagram user @skyconner reflected a local perspective, remarking, “This def innocent. This is normal Chicago behavior. Hospitality at its finest.” However, others expressed concern or skepticism, highlighting G Herbo’s familial commitments. “He got 4 kids and a wife. Angel leave that man alone???,” posted @dd.mac.
Others speculated on the nature of their relationship, suggesting familial ties or platonic friendship might explain their outing. “I swear yall be tripping. They cousins and he was dropping her off to practice,” commented @mightyduck, while @ava.joelle_ noted, “The fact that he’s in an untinted cyber truck and in a club proves that he does not care, and he knows Taina isn’t going anywhere.. ????”
The speculation was rampant, with some users humorously downplaying the encounter. @bonitabillionaire joked, “He clearly her Chicago tour guide ??,” and @elisabethhtaylorr added, “She literally just was scared and he know his way around Chicago sheesh he can’t give his cousin a ride home to make sure she safe? Smh.” Meanwhile, @sierra_symone and @esmvralda defended the idea that high-profile individuals can have platonic relationships, with comments emphasizing overinterpretation by the public and the challenge female celebrities face when interacting with male friends.
The backdrop to this social media storm includes Reese’s recent arrival in Chicago, following her draft by the Sky in April.
Her initial encounter with Herbo earlier in the month, captured on video, showed a brief but friendly interaction where Herbo playfully acknowledged her burgeoning influence in the city.
As the story unfolds, neither Herbo nor Reese has publicly addressed the speculation, and Taina Williams, Herbo’s partner and mother to his two youngest children, has also remained silent on the matter.
The ongoing discussion highlights the intense scrutiny public figures often face regarding their personal interactions, magnified by social media’s far-reaching impact.
