Flau’jae Johnson aims for LSU basketball championship success

March Madness is exciting for both men's and women's college basketball, with 68 teams competing for national titles. Among the standout players is Flau’jae Johnson from LSU, who is aiming for her second national championship. In 2023, Johnson and her teammate Angel Reese won LSU’s first national championship by defeating Iowa in the title game. Reese has since moved on to the WNBA, while Johnson has gained fame as a rapper signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label. Johnson isn’t the only athlete balancing sports and music. Renaldo Woolridge, who played college basketball for Tennessee and USC, is also a successful musician. He created his own record label while still playing, and his music has been featured by both schools. The connection between Johnson and Woolridge runs deeper. Woolridge's father, Orlando Woolridge, was a teammate of Michael Jordan when he made his debut with the Chicago Bulls in 1984. Their shared stories highlight how athletes can shine in different fields. As Johnson aims for another championship, Baton Rouge fans are excited to see if she can lead the Tigers to victory once more, possibly celebrating with her music afterward.
