"It's a no-brainer": $1.2M NIL-valued Flau'jae Johnson shares her excitement while filming the "WNBA anthem"

Flau'jae Johnson was featured on "Can't Get Enough," along with rappers BIA and Lakeyah. The song was put together by Culture Jam and is dubbed the official WNBA anthem.

The $1.2 million NIL-valued (per On3) LSU guard spoke about the song and the process on the Friday episode of her "Best of Both Worlds with Flau'jae" podcast.

"It's amazing. I'm super excited to be a part of it," Johnson said. "When they asked me to do it, I was like, uh duh. It's a no-brainer. Flau'jae X WNBA, it just makes sense. They sent me like eight bars I was like, oh bet. So I killed that, murked that.

"It's an anthem, but it's like female empowerment. It's women coming together and I love things like that. So when they asked me to be a part of it, I was like, 'I can't say no to this. This is amazing,'" she added.

Flau'jae Johnson also recounted the filming process of the music video, which she said was shot in Phoenix in the middle of the desert. It was an arduous process that also involved her almost missing a flight. However, Johnson and the other rappers powered through.

With this task done, her focus is now on creating one for the NCAA as well.

"Now I got to work on this anthem for college basketball. Who do I talk to for that? Who do I call? Somebody pick up, immediately," she said.

Flau'jae Johnson shares her future plans, balancing music and basketball

In June, Flau'jae Johnson established herself as a full-fledged music artist with the release of her debut EP, Best of Both Worlds. The record featured songs in collaborations with Louisiana native Lil Wayne and NLE Choppa.

At the moment, Johnson is preparing for her junior season with the LSU Tigers. After failing to defend their 2023 National Championship win, the Tigers are tasked with aiming for another title in the 2024–25 season.

Balancing both these careers is not the easiest job, but Flau'jae Johnson is determined to power through and set the bar as a successful student-athlete and rapper.

"When I was getting recruited, a lot of teams kept asking me, ‘Which one do you wanna do?’ And I’d be like, ‘I wanna do both,’" she said to USA Today. "And they wouldn’t understand me so I was like, 'I’ll just do music (and quit basketball)'. I was already making money, already buzzing.

"But then I found a place (LSU) that really understood my vision and just allowed me to be myself while playing the sport I love,'" she added.

She also has plans for the WNBA but has clarified that it will be short-lived. In the same interview, Flau'jae Johnson said that her twenties will be for basketball, but she will switch to music and team ownership in her thirties.
