Angel Reese didn’t wait long to indulge herself with a luxury. The new star of the Chicago Sky treated herself to a brand new $183,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV with a pink interior. But Angel made a mistake by sharing her happiness on Instagram.

Bayou Barbie was driving through the streets of Chicago while recording herself with her phone, a maneuver that is not safe and puts her life at risk. The excitement of sharing her new “ride” with her followers may have outweighed the patience and awareness of doing it safely. With the car parked and no imminent danger, watch the moment when Angel Reese decided to use her mobile phone while driving.

Angel Reese, the former LSU All-American forward and prominent figure in the NIL era, revealed her latest splurge-an AMG G-Class SUV-via her Instagram Story during her visit to Illinois on Tuesday. The luxury vehicle boasts a Nappa leather red interior and sleek black rims, starting at a price of $183,000 according to Mercedes-Benz.

In her Instagram post, Reese captioned the unveiling with, “New city. New beginnings. New big body Barbie Benz,” while giving credit to Champion Motoring in San Diego, Calif., a trusted destination for many professional athletes.

This isn’t Reese’s first encounter with Mercedes-Benz; she previously signed an NIL deal with Mercedes-Benz of Baton Rouge and received her first Benz just before her 21st birthday in May 2023.

Excited about her new wheels and her move to a new city, Reese shared her joy on TikTok, posting a video of her behind the wheel with her teacup Yorkie, Tiago, riding shotgun, captioning it, “Getting my dream car at 21 in my new favorite city
