Rival Team’s Employee Mocks Flau’jae Johnson as Basketball Community Showers Support Toward LSU Star

LSU’s undefeated season hit a brick wall on Friday when South Carolina used its signature lockdown defense to clinch a 66-56 victory. After a neck-and-neck first half, Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks turned up the heat, going on a third-quarter run that left LSU playing catch-up for the rest of the game. While the battle on the court was intense, what happened after the final buzzer had the basketball community in an uproar.

LSU actually started strong, hitting 12 of 24 shots early on, with Flau’jae Johnson scoring 11 points in the first half. But then things went ice cold. LSU managed just one bucket in 11 attempts during the second quarter. Johnson, who’s been putting up crazy numbers all season, could only add 2 points after halftime. Shooting 6-for-18 overall, it was, well, hands down her worst performance of the season.

But as the game ended, South Carolina’s DJ Shejayto TO played F-k Friends, a song by Camouflage—Johnson’s late father. To make matters worse, she reposted a fan story that said, “Playing camouflage at the end of the game was crazy,” captioning it with “🤭my bad 🤣.” Johnson wasn’t having it. She screenshot it, shared it on Twitter, and wrote, “I’ll take my L on the chin, but this just nasty behavior. Nun funny bout that.” 

From some perspective, Jason ‘Camouflage’ Johnson was a beloved rapper in Savannah, Georgia, whose life was cut short when he was shot outside a studio while walking with his toddler son in 2003. It was five months before the baller was even born. The case remains unsolved to this day.

And Johnson, following in his footsteps (the rapping career), continues to keep his legacy alive. Now, at 21, she maintains Camoflauge’s hungry, ambitious energy.  So, for anyone wondering, this hit deep. Fans knew it very well and quickly rallied around Big 4.

Fans stand behind Flau’jae Johnson amid post-game controversy

One fan hit the nail on the head, saying, “Can only be mad at the DJ.” And honestly, it was the DJ who chose to play that song and then doubled down by mocking it. If it was already bad, mocking it just made it ten times worse. Another fan didn’t hold back, calling the act “weird and disgusting asf,” adding, “This is a basketball game. God gone handle them for sure.” 

It’s the kind of thing that feels bigger than sports, you know? People were pointing out how life’s struggles—like losing someone—aren’t things you mock just because your team won. Then some wanted immediate action. One fan wrote, “That’s so disrespectful you don’t do that! DJ need to be fired.” 

And it’s not hard to see why some are calling for accountability. For them, this went way beyond rivalry—it was about basic human decency. What stood out, though, was a comment from a South Carolina fan who stepped up, saying, “You might not see this, but I’m an avid SC fan and I want to apologize for this. This is distasteful and not a reflection of how we move.” 

Rivalry aside, even some Gamecocks fans knew this crossed a line. Humanity > basketball, and this fan showed it. But not everyone agreed. Some came to the DJ’s defense, claiming, “THEY PLAY THIS AFTER EVERY GAME. Are y’all f-g serious right now?” 

Sure, maybe it’s tradition, but wouldn’t you pause and think, maybe this isn’t the best time for that song? Hence, a lot of people felt the DJ completely missed the mark and could’ve avoided it just on that specific day. 

So, along with the loss, this game ended on a pretty hurtful note for Flau’jae Johnson. Whether the Gamecocks address this or not, fans are definitely waiting to see if we’ll get any kind of explanation or escalation from their side.
