LSU women's basketball star Flau'jae Johnson releases debut EP in collaboration with Lil Wayne

With Angel Reese moving on to the WNBA, Flau'Jae Johnson could be poised to emerge as the LSU women’s basketball team’s biggest star next season.

But the rising junior guard from Savannah, Georgia, isn’t just making headlines for her stellar play on the court. She’s also pursuing her music career, rapping under the stage name “Flau’jae.” And on Friday, Johnson’s debut EP, titled “Best of Both Worlds,” was released in collaboration with Louisiana native Lil Wayne.

The title of the EP, which features nine songs in total, is a reference to Johnson having to manage the life of a college basketball player while also building her off-court brand, which includes her music career.

Johnson recently spoke with Rolling Stone ahead of the release of her EP, explaining how her discipline as a basketball player helps her in other aspects of her life.

“Basketball has made me have a certain discipline in my life that helps me demolish the music side. It’s taught me that you work at something every day, you put the hours in, you just fall in love with the process.” Johnson said.

Johnson, a Second Team All-SEC selection this past season, is one of the biggest names in the country, both in terms of performance and NIL value. Her profile is only set to increase in the future, and she seems to be doing a good job of managing to wear multiple hats.
