A year back, the Louisiana State University women’s basketball team clinched their first NCAA title in the program’s history under the leadership of Angel Reese, accompanied by Flau’jae Johnson’s splendid contributions which paved the way to LSU’s first NCAA championship. This historic victory not only elevated Johnson’s status in the sport but also boosted her career as a hip-hop artist, leading to collaborations with other rappers. And recently, Johnson expressed her gratitude to an American rapper for a rather special favor.
On her podcast, Flau’jae Johnson said that rapper NLE Choppa asked her to feature in his music video following her NCAA triumph with LSU. “After we won the championship, he came out with a song called Champions. He came to me and was like I want you and Angel in the video,” Johnson said via Best of Both Worlds with Flau’jae.
During the episode, Johnson expressed heartfelt gratitude to rapper NLE Choppa for the favor, she said, “He didn’t really have to reach out and do everything that he did but he reached out. He just showed so much love and he didn’t even have to do any of that. If you all know how hard it is to get artists to support you and literally stand on their word. It’s super rare.”
