Aliyah Boston helped the Indiana Fever beat the Chicago Sky 93-58 on Saturday. The All-Star delivered 19 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks. She anchored the defense that limited the Fever opponents to 26 second-half points.

After the game, Plies, valued at $6 million by Celebrity Net Worth, gave her a glittering necklace. The rapper wrote on X (formerly Twitter) to find “people that deserves the support and support them.”

Aliyah Boston’s eyes widened once she opened the box containing the “bling” Plies gave her. She repeatedly thanked him while looking at the jewelry. After putting it on with help from the rapper, the Indiana Fever center showed off her dance moves.

Boston played a big role in the Fever’s win. She had no trouble toggling between Chicago Sky 6-foot-7 center Kamilla Cardoso and 6-foot-3 All-Star Angel Reese. When teammate Caitlin Clark and Reese nearly had a dustup, Boston stepped in between the two rivals to prevent such from happening.

Besides playing pacifier, Boston impressed fans, including Plies, with her two-way performance. She was a constant threat in the post and freed up shooters with punishing screens. The Shawty hitmaker showed his appreciation for her work by giving her the necklace.
