Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston recently experienced her name being misspelled by one reporter but instead of getting offended by it, the former Gamecocks star addressed the slip-up in the lightest way possible.
One sports reporter over at X recently posted a short post-game interview with South Carolina Gamecocks guard Bree Hall, who spoke fondly of Boston and thanked her for the help she gave.
While the interview itself ended up being a straightforward conversation, the caption was what caught the attention of fans and even Boston herself. The caption of the posted quoted Hall, but something was off in how it was typed.
The caption read: “I have to give a shoutout to Ayhilah Boston. Ayhilah, I love you girl. You are amazing. Thank you so much for helping me this game.”
Fans were quick to spot that Boston’s first name was misspelled by the reporter who uploaded the video.
Apparently, this was not the first time that Aliyah Boston had her name misspelled, but she admitted that it was still a first for her in some aspects.
Boston shared the post, adding in her own comment.
She said: “I have never seen my name spelled this way 😂 BUT breezy you know I got you and God is always in the midst.”
