Flau'jae Johnson's Instagram story from July 17, 2024

Flau’jae Johnson’s collaboration with Lil Wayne came when the rapper was in conversation with WNBA legend Sue Bird.

Johnson's LSU Tigers were in the thick of their 2023 NCAA championship run when Bird joked with Wayne about the timeline of his song with Johnson. Wayne promised that he would connect soon with the LSU star for a musical collaboration.

The next checkpoint in Johnson's rap career will be a music video with Lil Wayne, which the two rappers were seen shooting for in Los Angeles on July 10.

"Best of Both Worlds" resonates with Flau’jae Johnson's mindset

Johnson experimented a lot in her debut album, be it in terms of mixing, choice of flow or style of rap. However, one thing that came up consistently throughout the album was her passion for basketball and music and how she intends to live through the best of both worlds.

Flau’jae Johnson has previously claimed that she will shun her musical endeavors as soon as the women’s basketball season begins and will devote her energy to the court. She believes that the segregation between her dual-careers could be her key to sustaining successful multi-industrial profiles.

She backed her approach in a BET interview with former NFL star Cam Newton last week. The quarterback signaled his reservations about fostering two careers. In response, Johnson cited that almost everyone, including Newton, indulges in two full-time roles because of parenthood, which is enough motivation for her to pursue basketball and music at the same time.
