LSU star Angel Reese received support from the original creator of the "You Can’t See Me" taunt – Tony Yayo – nearly a week after the controversy stemming from the star basketball player giving Iowa’s Caitlin Clark a little bit of her own medicine.

Reese received criticism for her celebratory gestures as LSU was wrapping up its first national championship last Sunday against Iowa. Yayo addressed the controversy in an interview with TMZ Sports on Friday.

"When a Black girl do it, it's a problem, but when a White girl do it, it's not a problem," Yayo said.

The G-Unit rapper was the original creator of the "You Can’t See Me" move, which was popularized by WWE star John Cena. The pro wrestler acknowledged Clark’s use of it during the tournament when she dropped back-to-back 40-point games.

"I just don't want all this stuff to overshadow the win," Yayo added. "There are other people on the team. There's a great coach [Kim Mulkey] over there. I'm definitely looking up to anybody that's a role model to Black women in this world."

Clark told ESPN last week Reese shouldn’t be receiving any criticism.
