Wayne had previously mentioned wanting to work with Johnson on music during an interview on the broadcast of ESPN’s The Bird And Taurasi Show. Johnson shared that clip in her post. “Actually, me and Flau’jae, we’ve spoken, but we about to connect musically soon,” Wayne said as LSU’s Final Four matchup against Virginia Tech played. “That’s shoutout to Miss Kim [Mulkey] too. Because Kim told me, ‘you must do something with my girl Flau’jae.’ I was like ‘say less.’” The host of the interview added: “Flau’jae is about to have a legit music career. I’m so proud of her.”

LSU ended up defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes 102-85 on Sunday. Drama quickly ensued for the winning team after Angel Reese taunted Iowa’s Caitlin Clark after the game. Several media pundits caught backlash for labeling the move “classless,” including Barstool’s Dave Portnoy. Clark has since spoken out in defense of Reese, telling ESPN, “We’re all competitive. We all show our emotions in a different way. You know, Angel is a tremendous, tremendous player. I have nothing but respect for her. I love her game.”
