I knew I wanted to be a rapper: Flaujae Johnson sheds light on her humble beginnings from small town of Savannah – Sportskeeda

Flaujae Johnson may now be known as the championship-winning LSU guard, but her first shot at fame came when she appeared on Lifetime's The Rap Game at the age of 12. Johnson competed in the reality series against other budding hip hop artists for a shot at scoring a record deal.

Later, the Savannah native joined America's Got Talent where she performed her self-written song called 'Guns Down'. She advanced to the quarterfinals and received the judges' coveted golden buzzer. However, due to insufficient public voting, she did not reach the semifinal despite great reviews from the judges.

Johnson spoke about her journey from her hometown to LSU during an interview with Cam Newton that was released on Monday via his YouTube channel.

Johnson owes her rap career to her father, Jason, who was known by his stage name: Camoflauge. He was fatally shot a few months before his daughter's birth. She spoke about the impact of his death in a 2019 feature in St. Joseph's/Candler.

While much of her music is inspired by her late father, she also pays homage to her roots as she emphasizes the importance of giving back to her hometown.

Johnson is currently promoting her new EP called "Best of Both Worlds" where she raps about her life as a basketball player as well as a musical artist. At the same time, she is also preparing for her junior season with the LSU Tigers.
