Gillie Da Kid and Wallo have spoken out against Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy following his controversial remarks about LSU women’s basketball star Angel Reese.
In an Instagram video posted on Monday (April 3), the Million Dollaz Worth of Game co-hosts pushed back against Portnoy’s narrative that Reese was “classless” by taunting Iowa’s Caitlin Clark on her way to winning the women’s NCAA championship over the weekend.
“It’s cool if they do it; it’s a problem if I do it — a great poet from our culture, Finesse2Tymes, once said that,” Wallo said after congratulating the LSU Tigers on their victory. “We don’t stand with nothing that Dave Portnoy said in any type, shape, form or fashion. We’re not in agreeance with that, we’re not in alignment with that in any way.”
The Philadelphia native clarified that their Million Dollaz podcast isn’t owned by Barstool Sports but is engaged in a partnership licensing deal with the company, which was recently renewed in another lucrative contract.
“Million Dollaz Worth of Game LLC is owned by two people: Wallace Peeples and Nasir Fard. We do not work for Barstool,” Wallo explained. “We have a partnership, we have a licensing deal. 100 percent of ownership is by us. We don’t have no bosses. I only got one boss and that’s God and my wife whenever I get married.”
He continued: “Shoutout to Angel Reese, you did a great job. We not just gon’ stand for that. For her to be a ‘classless piece of shit’ because of basketball, you’re wrong about that shit. We fuck with ya Dave, but you’re totally out of pocket, you’re wrong for that.
“For a human being to be a classless piece of shit because of sports where there’s nothing but trash talk, we not doing that… We not gon’ let you do that to ours.”
Portnoy came under fire for branding Reese a “classless piece of shit” on Twitter for taunting Clark with John Cena’s “you can’t see me” hand gesture on the court.
The Barstool boss later defended his tweet, claiming that Reese’s taunting was much different than Clark’s and race had nothing to do with his comments.
“For all the dummies out there who don’t understand why Angel Reese is #classless it’s because she taunted Clark with 10 seconds left in a game that was long over,” he wrote. “Talking shit in the moment is 1 thing. Doing it when she did was #classless and that’s why it’s trending.”
Meanwhile, Boosie Badazz celebrated LSU’s first women’s national championship by taking a page out of the player’s tradition and cutting down his own backyard basketball hoop’s net.
LSU star Angel Reese helped secure the 102-85 victory with 15 points, while Iowa juggernaut Caitlin Clark recorded 22 points in her team’s loss.
Props to Wallo and Gillie for not backing down yet respectfully sharing a different opinion than someone else. NORE and Joe Buddens could learn a thing or two here
Classless is one thing, a piece of shit is something else entirely.
She’s definitely a piece of shit. Look at her. Stupid-ass wig, cartoonish eye lashes, Fritos fingernails. No one with any sense respects someone like that. To top that off, she’s a racist so yeah, she’s a HUGE piece of shit. Way to take the shine away from your entire school for winning a national title while you’re trying to be a silly-ass female thug.
Also “Iowa juggernaught”… word? As an emcee, I know slick talk when I see it. Let’s not forget Reese was voted Player of the Tournament, had 76 points and 51 rebounds in 3 games, and set the NCAA Women’s record for double-doubles this year. No shade to Caitin cause she did her thing but we not gon act like Angel ain’t in her sphere like that
She still garbage though. Womens BB is a joke.
Who the fuck are Gilly duh Kid and Wally? Look, we get that black people are racist. It’s time to grow the fuck up.
