Flau\u2019jae Johnson may have had her bag full with the NCAA title and all the First Team honors, but that did not mean she was ready for the WNBA draft just yet.\u00a0\u201cI definitely want to win, but I want to make sure I\u2019m being developed to be the player that I want to be in the WNBA,\u201d she told First Office Sports. While her basketball future seems certain for now, Flau\u2019jae might just be cooking up some big off-court moves this offseason too!<\/p>\n
Before we get into that, Flau\u2019jae has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this past week. Her recent interview with Shannon Sharpe stirred up controversy after a clip was taken out of context. The backlash was enough for Flau\u2019jae to speak out, saying, \u201cYeah that was messy, I\u2019m not doing any more interviews.\u201d\u00a0What was the interview about?<\/p>\n
It all started when Shannon Sharpe asked Flau\u2019jae about Aces star A\u2019ja Wilson\u2019s claim that she could take on an NBA player. Flau\u2019jae responded honestly, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s not physically possible,\u201d which prompted Sharpe to burst into laughter. She added, \u201cYou know what I\u2019m saying? I can barely grab the rim, and you\u2019re over the backboard. I\u2019m not about to play you.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was clearly a clip made for the internet\u2026 something that would go viral and spark debate among the community. And it did! Thousands jumped in to mock women\u2019s basketball, twisting it into a men vs. women debate and using it to take shots at A\u2019ja Wilson. But that was never Flau\u2019jae\u2019s intention. The LSU star was clearly frustrated with how Club Shay Shay\u2019s X page framed the video, captioning, \u201cA\u2019ja Wilson is wrong!<\/a> WNBA players can\u2019t beat NBA players.\u201d<\/p>\n Johnson later made it clear that A\u2019ja was her GOAT, and she would never speak against her. The conversations may continue to swirl, but the LSU guard has decided she is moving on. She is laying controversy to rest and pulling the attention elsewhere:<\/p>\n \u201cY\u2019all won\u2019t believe what I just did \ud83d\ude2b\ud83d\ude2b adding something to the resume \ud83d\udc40,\u201d that\u2019s what Flau\u2019jae posted on X earlier tonight, leaving fans buzzing with excitement. And honestly, who can blame them? She\u2019s already built a solid rap career, signed under Jay-Z\u2019s Roc Nation. So, whether it\u2019s a new venture outside music or a major collab dropping soon, one thing\u2019s for sure\u2013 Flau\u2019jae\u2019s got something big up her sleeve!<\/p>\n Yall won\u2019t believe what I just did \ud83d\ude2b\ud83d\ude2b adding something to the resume \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n
