Watch: USC star JuJu Watkins links up with $25M worth Chance the Rapper to answer a super easy question
JuJu Watkins had a one-of-a-kind freshman season last year. She shattered the all-NCAA freshman scoring record, was second on the NCAA scoring board, earned the AP All-American team member selection and was recognized as USBWA National Freshman of the Year. While preparing for an even better sophomore season, Watkins collaborated with Meta's 'Super Fan' even in the Big Apple.
As part of a promotional activity, Watkins faced a rapid-fire set of AI-generated questions fronted by the $25 million-worth Chance the Rapper (as per Celebrity Net Worth). Watkins shared a few glimpses of the same on her Instagram story nearly a week after the event unfolded.
The first question probed the real name of the interviewing rapper, which Watkins didn't need to think twice before answering. However, she missed the second one, which was to name the Hip Hop Collective with Chance the Rapper as its founding member.
Nevertheless, the competitor in Watkins rebounded with a smirk for the third question, perfectly landing the organization the rapper donated $1 million to in 2017. Here's the video:
JuJu Watkins was at the event to discuss the impact of AI on aspiring athletes and youngsters all over the globe. While she recognized the frailty that comes with AI, she also highlighted the information resources communities can consume through the same.
Moreover, she also highlighted that due to the strictly facts-oriented approach of AI, fans can separate themselves from mainstream media and make their own opinions about a player.
JuJu Watkins accidentally recreates viral Adele reaction at a WNBA game
The USC star was in the Crypto.com arena on Tuesday attending the Los Angeles Sparks' matchup with the Minnesota Lynx. During the third quarter, JuJu Watkins accidentally recreated Adele’s famous courtside moment, which went viral as a meme.
As Watkins sat courtside, she was looking around the court as if she was uninterested and reserved, probably because her Sparks trailed by double digits since the first buzzer.
Nevertheless, the live telecast captured her unbothered by the game, with fans claiming that she was mimicking Adele. However, Watkins' reaction gained traction, and she clarified in one of her Instagram stories that she was unaware that the camera was recording her.
