Video: Flau'jae Johnson's mom Kia Brooks showcases her youngest son getting attention during the FIBA Women's AmeriCup in Chile

Kia Brooks, the mother of LSU basketball star Flau'jae Johnson, shared a lighthearted video on Instagram, showing her youngest son, Aythan, receiving unexpected attention during their visit to Santiago, Chile, for the FIBA Women's AmeriCup.

In the video, Aythan sits in a stroller wearing a light blue Gucci tracksuit. A woman ties his entry wristband. As Kia talks to him, he remains distracted. His attention is captured when people in line call him cute as he adorably attempts to flash his own watch when prompted. She wrote:

"Aythan’s watch is making him a mini celebrity in Chile! 😂 People are going wild, taking pics and stopping him on the street! 🤣Now, I’m thinking of starting a watchline for my little fashionista⌚️.
