Flau’jae Johnson, a freshman guard for the LSU Women’s Basketball team, has been making headlines both for her impressive performance on the court and her burgeoning rap career. She recently signed a deal with JayZ’s Roc Nation label, making her the highest-earning NIL player in the Women’s NCAA Tournament Final.
Johnson’s unique first name is a tribute to her late father, who was a famous rapper. He passed away when she was just an infant, but his legacy lives on in Johnson’s music. Her music career started when she was young, and she has already performed on stage and recorded songs.
JayZ’s sports management firm reached out to Johnson’s mother about representation, and soon after, she signed with Roc Nation. The partnership allows Roc Nation to distribute her music on all streaming platforms while Johnson owns all the master tapes.
Johnson’s success as both a basketball player and rapper is paving the way for other athletes who want to pursue music as well as sports. She is estimated to earn $669,000 annually from her NIL deals.
Personal injury attorney Gordon McKernan recently launched a podcast series called “Grubbin’ with G”, combining his love of food and conversation. Each episode features McKernan dining with a guest at a local restaurant for a meal and conversation.
Johnson joined McKernan on the latest episode of “Grubbin’ with G” at her favorite Baton Rouge restaurant, Fiery Crab. They discussed a wide variety of topics during the meal, including her music career and Coach Mulkey’s unique sense of style.
Johnson has also partnered with JBL Audio ahead of the release of her new EP and the NCAA championship game. She is a multifaceted star, and JBL considers her an all-around superstar who embodies their values of individuality and self-expression.
Johnson’s father inspired her to be a fearless rapper, and she has a coach who pushes her to be a great basketball player. Her dedication, unwavering passion, and natural talent have propelled her to champion status in both arenas.
In addition to playing for a national championship, Johnson will soon release her new EP titled “Best of Both Worlds”, which promises to showcase her talents as both an athlete and musician. With multiple endorsement deals and a flourishing career in music, Johnson is proving that she truly is a rising star on and off the court.
