Brooks included a short caption for his Instagram story. He remembered Camouflage, also known as Jason Johnson, who was murdered outside Pure Pain Records' recording studio on May 19, 2003, while walking with his toddler son.

"Rip camouflage," Brooks wrote with dove and blue heart emojis.

Flau'jae Johnson's post included a video recalling how her father inspired her to become a rapper. Johnson, born six months after Camouflage's death, said that she found out who her father was at seven years old. Johnson then decided to be a rapper, with her dream being to fulfill her father's legacy.

Flau'jae has followed in her father's footsteps, becoming an accomplished rapper. She rose to prominence as a music artist during Season 13 of America's Got Talent, earning a golden buzzer from judge Chris Hardwick to book an automatic spot in the quarterfinals.

She signed a record deal with Roc Nation before releasing her debut album "Best of Both Worlds" last year. Flau'jae collaborated with Lil Wayne in one of the album's songs, "Came Out a Beast," which proved to be a huge hit, leading to the NFL including the song on its playlist for the 2024 campaign.
