Summary

On this episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe sits down with LSU basketball star, rapper, and Roc Nation signee Flau’jae Johnson — a true force in both sports and music. She reflects on being discovered on Lifetime’s The Rap Game with Jermaine Dupri, seeing Latto on the show before her own rise, and meeting legends like Queen Latifah, Da Brat, Fabolous, and Rick Ross. She reveals her dream collabs — Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B — and shares her Female Rapper Mount Rushmore. Flau’jae dives into her unforgettable America’s Got Talent moment and the impact of Simon Cowell’s words: “You’re going to be a star.” She gets emotional discussing the loss of her father before she was born, the pain of hearing stories she never got to live, and his unsolved case — including the powerful dream that brought her closer to him. From performing in clubs at 8 years old to touring with Mindless Behavior, Flau’jae explains how music was always in her blood. She shares how Boosie, Birdman, and Jeezy respected her father, and how Boosie looked out for her early on. She speaks on her respect for Coach Dawn Staley, while showing love to other coaches like Yolett McPhee-McCuin. Though her dream school was originally Georgia, LSU gave her the chance to shine — and under Coach Kim Mulkey, she never had to dim her light. She breaks down winning the national championship, the bond with Angel Reese, Jasmine Carson, and LaDazhia Williams, and her take on women’s sports rising, Caitlin Clark, and whether there’s real tension in the WNBA. She addresses the media pitting Caitlin and Angel against each other, and celebrates Angel’s WNBA 2K26 cover.
