This summer, Flau'jae Johnson established herself as a musical artist with the release of her debut EP, "Best of Both Worlds." The album, featuring Lil Wayne, NLE Choppa and more, was well-received by her fans and critics, who praised her storytelling and rap flow.
As she continues her music journey, Johnson is often asked about her dream collaborations. In a video posted on Tuesday by Highlighter on Instagram, the LSU guard was asked to name a basketball player she'd like to collaborate with for a song.
"LeBron, because LeBron is funny, bruh," she said. "LeBron is the funniest basketball player to exist on this earth."
Flau'jae Johnson has been vocal about her admiration of James. During an episode of her "Best of Both Worlds with Flau'jae" podcast in August, the junior guard spoke about LeBron James' influence on her life.
"But another person in the sports world would probably be LeBron James," Johnson said. "Just like his discipline and his longevity that he’s had so long and him being consistent and everything that he’s been doing for the past 21 years. Like, it’s inspiring.
"So, what he does off the court, though, like he make impact in his community, and that’s something that really inspired me and something that I want to do for, for generations to come. Like, I want to change generations, and that’s what LeBron (is) doing. So, I got to give a heads-up to the GOAT, man. Thank you for everything, King.”
