[autotag]Flau’jae Johnson[/autotag] is a star on the court for the LSU women’s basketball team, and she could be poised to become one of the nation’s best players as a junior next season.
But Johnson has also had quite a big impact off the court. She manages her brand as one of the highest-valued athletes in the nation when it comes to NIL, and her interests extend outside of basketball, including her budding music career.
She’s also a budding rap star, and her debut EP “Best of Both Worlds” was released earlier this week in collaboration with Lil Wayne.
Johnson has been announced as part of the inaugural “BET Culture Class ’24,” a group of creators who “represent a diverse spectrum of Black culture, spanning music, comedy, social media, sports, fashion, food, politics, community, and wellness.”
She and the rest of the class will feature heavily in the annual BET Awards, which take place on Sunday night. Johnson is also on the ballot for Sportswoman of the Year at those awards, joined by former LSU athletes [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] (Johnson’s college teammate) and sprinter [autotag]Sha’Carri Richardson[/autotag], who will make her Olympic debut in Paris next month.
