With newfound stardom comes newfound scrutiny. LSU has apologized for Flau’jae Johnson’s 9/11 lyrics in her new song.
As spotted on TMZ, the NCAA women’s basketball champion is also skilled in another sport. The guard has been pursuing a rap career and has found a way to leverage her recent celebrity to cast a light on her music. This week, Johnson released a video to her freestyle over Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor.” Her version though, featured a pun on the horrific terrorist attacks that took place back in 2001. “In this 911, blowing smoke just like them towers,” which references the popular Porsche luxury coupe and the World Trade Center.
While the track didn’t garner a lot of views upon release, the lyric in question quickly went viral online. So much so that senior officials at Louisiana State University responded to the matter saying they had a word with Flau’jae Johnson. “We spoke with Flau’jae this evening, and while she never intended to offend or upset anyone with her lyrics, she expressed sincere remorse for any possibility of a misunderstanding and immediately took the video down,” LSU said in a exclusive statement to Fox News. “We will learn and grow from this experience together.”
Flau’jae Johnson has yet to comment publicly on the matter. You can see a clip from the video below.

Tony Yayo’s signature hand gesture has taken on new heights. He has saluted Angel Reese for her iconic use of the “You Can’t See Me” dance.
As per Complex the Southside Queens, New York native recently spoke to TMZ Sports about the Louisiana State University women’s basketball team’s championship run. Not only did the LSU ladies defeat Iowa but their star player Angel Reese gave America’s NCAA sweetheart Caitlin Clark a taste of her own medicine by doing it in front of her once the victory was secured. Surprisingly the moment soon went viral and while media outlets largely gave credit to wrestler John Cena for the dance, real ones knew it all started with Tony Yayo.
The G-Unit member put respect on the power forward when asked about her doing the dance. “Any kind of sports, talking trash is a part of the game,” Tony explained. “I mean, it was for the championship game. It’s competition. Even when I’m playing 2k — if you playin’ in the game, with video games, we get excited. You know?”
Yayo went on to share why he originated the move. “It’s just a dance. I don’t take nothin’ personal. It was a dance I created because I was trying to hide from the police. But shout out to all them people — John Cena, Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark — and definitely Flavor Flav. But Angel Reese? You know, she took the ‘U Can’t C Me’ dance to a whole another level.”
You can see Tony Yayo discuss the iconic celebration below.

Nothing can stop Virginia Tech students from supporting their team.
This year, the NCAA is hoping to keep on-campus host sites as neutral as possible by fining a host for playing traditional hype songs, such as Virginia Tech playing “Enter Sandman” as it usually does during women’s basketball games at Cassell Coliseum. Virginia Tech started playing the Metallica hit back in 2000 during the season opener for football at Lane Stadium.
While the NCAA is preventing actual venues from playing hype songs through their speakers, there’s nothing they can do about fans taking matters into their own hands. During VT’s Friday night (March 17) game against Chattanooga, Hokies supporters in the coliseum began belting the chorus to the heavy metal 1991 classic a capella, making for a special, uniting moment.
