Flau’jae hires Lil Wayne and Kim Mulkey for the video “Came Out A Beast”

Flau’jae [Johnson]who is just beginning her junior season as an LSU Tiger and currently has the most lucrative NIL contracts in women’s college basketball, just released a video featuring her head coach and Lil Wayne. If you told us 10 years ago that a current college basketball player would be making songs with Weezy and having her coach appear in her music videos, we would have called you crazy, but that’s the situation for today’s NCAA athletes.

The video, directed by Terrius Mykel, begins with Kim Mulkey, head coach of the LSU women’s basketball team, drawing up a play for Flau’jae and her LSU teammates in a huddle. She goes off and even shouts out to her father, the late rapper Camoflauge, while holding her 2023 National Championship trophy while Wayne stands next to her. “And I just won a natty, did it for my daddy/ They see my face, man, I’m in the paper/ Man, I’m one of those people, you see the trophy/ You don’t have to answer if you really know me,” she raps.

The track appeared on their The best of both worlds EP that she released in early June, and she was very grateful that Wayne, her teammates and her coach were able to appear in the video. In a press release, she had nice things to say about all of them.

She said of Wayne:
“Working with Lil Wayne on the ‘Came Out A Beast’ video was a dream come true. He is a legend in the game and to be able to collaborate with him on this track was surreal. The energy on set was incredible and we both brought this fire to the video. This is just the beginning and I’m excited for everyone to see what we created.”

She said of her LSU basketball teammates:
“Having my teammates in the ‘Came Out A Beast’ video was a real moment for me. We all work together on and off the court, so it was natural to include them in that part of my life. It’s cool to show that connection in a different way, outside of basketball. I’m really thankful they shared that moment with me.”

She said about her head coach Kim Mulke:
“Having Coach Mulkey in the ‘Came Out A Beast’ video was special. She was always there for me, both on and off the field, pushing me to do my best. Her support means everything to me, so having her there in that moment was incredible. It just shows how much she believes in all of us, not just as players, but as individuals with our own dreams.”

Flau’jae can rightly claim that she is currently the best athlete rapper.
