BATON ROUGE, LA – LSU Tigers Women’s Basketball Star Flau’jae Johnson Announces Major News, Sends Shockwaves Through College Basketball World
BATON ROUGE, LA – LSU Tigers women’s basketball standout Flau’jae Johnson has announced thrilling news that has captivated fans across the college basketball community and beyond. The rising star revealed over the weekend that she is officially launching a dual career as both a college basketball player and a music artist under a major record label.
In a groundbreaking move, Johnson announced she has signed a record deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, marking a significant milestone in her journey as both an elite athlete and a hip-hop artist. The sophomore guard, known for her electric presence on the court and powerful voice in the studio, shared the news with fans via a heartfelt video posted on social media, showcasing her passion for both basketball and music.
“This is a dream come true,” Johnson said. “To be able to play the game I love at LSU and now be part of the Roc Nation family is something I’ve worked for my whole life. I’m grateful and ready to keep pushing.”
Johnson, who played a key role in helping LSU win the 2023 NCAA championship, has quickly become one of the most dynamic and recognizable names in college sports. Averaging double figures in scoring and serving as a vocal leader on and off the court, she’s drawn attention not only for her athletic performance but also for her vibrant personality and lyrical talent.
The announcement has sparked conversations nationwide about the evolving landscape of college athletics, especially as NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities allow student-athletes to explore professional endeavors while competing at the collegiate level. Johnson’s deal with Roc Nation is seen as a landmark moment in that progression.
LSU head coach Kim Mulkey praised Johnson’s ambition and discipline. “Flau’jae is one of the most driven young women I’ve ever coached,” Mulkey said. “She’s focused, talented, and fearless — whether it’s on the court or on the stage. We’re proud of her.”
Johnson has already released several songs and performed at major events, including halftime shows and college festivals, but this new step signals a serious expansion of her music career. Roc Nation, home to major artists across multiple genres, is expected to help elevate her reach while supporting her basketball aspirations.
With March Madness behind her and new horizons ahead, Flau’jae Johnson is proving that success isn’t one-dimensional. She’s rewriting the narrative — as a baller, a rapper, and now, a trailblazer.
