Indiana Fever's new addition, Sydney Colson, reacted to Flau'jae Johnson's inquiry about her commercials on Friday. With March Madness already underway, the 2023 NCAA champion was recruited to star in Powerade's "What It Takes" campaign.
The commercials were popular, and Johnson asked fans if they were annoyed by seeing her on TV all the time.
"Yall tired of seeing my commercials?🤣🤣" Johnson asked on X.

Colson was one of the people who responded. She rejected that notion and said she had watched those ads multiple times.
"Nope, seen bout 4️⃣ of em so far 🔥," Colson responded.
This is the second consecutive year Johnson has been featured in a Powerade campaign. After signing an NIL deal with the company in January 2024, she appeared in the "It Takes More" campaign.
"What It Takes" is the sequel of that campaign, with Johnson now having a bigger role than last year when she shared the spotlight with then-USC star Isaiah Collier.
Johnson wrote an original song that included Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade as the video director.
After rising to stardom last year, helping the LSU Tigers reach the Elite Eight when Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes took them out, Johnson took the torch from Angel Reese and is trying to win a second national championship alongside Aneesah Morrow and more this season.
Meanwhile, Sydney Colson will share touches with Clark in her first season with the Indiana Fever.
