The ascent of Final Four Most Outstanding Player Angel Reese continues to reach new heights.

Reese, who propelled LSU to a program-first national title in April, briefly appeared in a new music video for "Put It On Da Floor Again" featuring rappers Latto and Cardi B. A line of the song's lyrics specifically mentions the Tigers, with Cardi B saying "I've been ballin so damn hard, could've went to LSU."

LSU saluted the shoutout, tweeting "ok @iamcardib were ready for you" with a photoshopped graphic of the rapper wearing an LSU jersey.
