"You exemplify what sisterhood looks like": LSU star Flau'jae Johnson gets big shoutout from Taraji Henson during 2024 BET awards

LSU star Flau'jae Johnson is a great basketball player and an amazing rapper. She appeared on the BET Awards 2024 among other stars, athletes and celebrities.

Taraji Henson, an American actress, was the host of the show. She lauded Flau'jae in front of everyone, gave her flowers and called her a 'beast.'

"Flau'jae, you, baby, you're special. You exemplify what sisterhood looks like. You get down in the studio, on the court. Yea, you're monster," Taraji said.

Flau'jae came up to promote her new song "Came Out A Beast" with 5x Grammy winner Lil Wayne. The single is a part of her album "Best of Both Worlds" with Wayne.

The Southeastern Conference All-Freshman of the Year 2023 also discussed her new song "Damage" from the same album. She also posted her recent red-carpet visit to the YouTube Music Leaders and Legends gala, on a Friday. Wearing a stunning black satin dress, she rapped to her new song, captioning the post:

The upcoming face of women's college basketball also had other stars vibing to her song in the gym. She reposted Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young's hitting the gym while using her song.

"Going crazy right now," she wrote in her post.

Besides rapping, Johnson is preparing with LSU and Kim Mulkey for the upcoming season. She averaged 14.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last season while shooting 50.4%. From beyond the arc, she secured 38.0% of her total attempts.

On the nights when Flau'jae Johnson couldn't give her best for LSU on the court, her rapping was blamed. This didn't stop Johnson from rapping, but she spent extra time in the gym to compensate. She has listed her third passion on Fox Sports:

"I'm wearing anything like I'm really a huge hoodie and sweat pant type of girl, right?

I love to be comfy, I love to be cool but I'm just getting into more like less like layers like different styles more patterns, more textures more skirts, and things like that and I just expressing myself more. I don't really care what people think about, I just try to walk it in and own it because at the end of the day, it's my style."

Johnson shared that her trip to New York inspired how she looked at fashion previously, and that's when she started taking it seriously.
