Flau'jae Johnson mother, Kia Brooks, shared a hilarious moment when her daughter “kidnapped” her younger brother, Nixon. Brooks took to social media to expose Johnson’s playful antics, posting a video of Nixon sitting in the backseat of an SUV while Johnson prepared to drive off.
In the caption, Brooks reacted with humor to the situation, showing her daughter behind the wheel and her son along for the ride. She expressed her excitement at how close her children had grown and thanked God for answering her prayers.
“When your adult daughter kidnaps your younger kid because she thinks she the other mom," Brooks wrote. "The nerve of her to be flying him to her home in another state.”
Brooks has been a steady supporter of Johnson’s career and an advocate for the growth of women’s sports. She has been vocal about the importance of support for female athletes. In 2024, Johnson credited her mother’s belief as a key to her success.
Brooks manages Johnson’s career, helping the LSU star shine in both basketball and music. She started TFNA Entertainment and Sports Management, which has been pivotal in negotiating NIL deals for Johnson as a collegiate athlete.
