NWSL star Sofia Cook seems to be an admirer of LSU’s guard Flau’jae Johnson. In a recent video that has gone viral on Instagram, the player from Gotham FC is asked which black icon she would love to have dinner with.
Her answer was simple: Flau’jae Johnson. She also provided her reasoning for selecting the Lady Tigers star:
“And I love Flau’jae too, because she could ball and she could rap”
Johnson has reposted the video to her Instagram story, and she added the following commentary:
“Yeah I gotta slide to a game”
Besides being known as a basketball star for the LSU Lady Tigers, Johnson also has a burgeoning music career as a rapper. She has a record deal with Roc Nation and has so far released three albums over the last three years.
