LSU guard Flau'jae Johnson wants fans to get her name right months before she steps on the court for the 2024-25 women's college basketball season. On Monday, the 5-foot-10 Johnson, who is also inclined toward rap music, reminded college hoops fans about how it should be spelled and pronounced.

The Lady Tigers star made it simple, writing a four-line rap stanza on X (formerly Twitter) that read:

"Hey guys just a lil reminder before the season starts. My a name is spelled 'Flau’jae.' And it is pronounced like 'Flaw- J.' This how you say it, I know it’s unique so I don’t trip 😭😭"

LSU alum Angel Reese hails Flau'jae Johnson's multi-tasking skills

LSU alumnus and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese recently spoke about Flau'jae Johnnson and admitted she admired how the guard was able to balance her time with studying in school, playing basketball with the Tigers and performing rap music with flying colors.

"I think Flau'jae has already created her own brand. Before she even got to college, she was already a businesswoman," Reese said.

"Her brand continues to grow. Without basketball she’s still going to be a great person and without rap she’s still going to be a great person…so I commend her and hope she continues to do that."

Flau'jae Johnson will be at the forefront of LSU's campaign this coming season as the Tigers hope to contend again for the 2025 national title with the coach Dawn Staley-led South Carolina and UConn being the early favorites for the women's basketball crown.
