Johnson was born in Savannah six months before her dad, renowned rapper Jason Johnson, also known as Camoflauge, was killed. Inspired by her dad, Johnson carved a niche for herself as a rapper and has become one of the most popular faces in college women's basketball.

With a NIL valuation of $1.5 million per On3 (No. 1 in women's college basketball), Johnson is one of the highest-paid female student-athletes. The weekend giveaway was her way of giving back to the city that raised her, establishing a legacy of philanthropy in her blossoming career on and off the court.

Flau'jae Johnson hosts third annual hometown giveaway ahead of senior season

LSU women's basketball star Flau'jae Johnson was in her hometown, Savannah, Georgia, to host her third annual Back2School giveaway during the weekend.

In addition, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund provided mammograms for eligible attendees, while the young participants had fun playing with bounce houses and other family-friendly activities. Over 2500 people attended the event, according to Johnson, with children using fake money with Johnson’s face on it to "buy" the items that would help them in the classroom.

The Back2School giveaway comes as Johnson is getting set for her senior season with LSU. Johnson waived her 2025 WNBA draft eligibility for college basketball despite being ranked as one of the top picks. The FIBA women's AmeriCup gold medalist is expected to lead the Tigers to a stellar 2025-26 season under head coach Kim Mulkey.
