Stepdad Ameen Brooks gets Father's Day tribute from Flau'Jae Johnson

The LSU guard celebrated Father's Day with a heartfelt tribute to her stepdad, Ameen Brooks. Valued at $1.2 million NIL (per On3), Johnson shared photos featuring her family, especially Brooks, on Instagram. In her post, Johnson expressed deep gratitude, writing:

"I never got a chance to meet my dad. But I do know what it feels like to have a father. You came into my life and showed me what a real man should be, and I appreciate you for everything, especially taking care of my mama. Thank you for being my best friend🫶 .. Stand Up Guy #HappyFathersDay."

Johnson's biological father, Jason Johnson, was tragically killed in a gunfire incident five months before her birth. Ameen Brooks, who married Johnson's mom, Kia Brooks, said in an interview with On3:

"I don’t even call it stepdaddy because I feel like as a position of a dad and I married her mom, it’s like filling the gap.”

Johnson’s stepdad also played a crucial role in managing her burgeoning music career and the extensive travel it entails.
