In the video, she appeared to be speaking rationally one moment, only to shift into an intense, almost unhinged demeanor the next. This new persona has sparked curiosity among her fans, many of whom are eager to see how Monae will influence her music.
“Monae is my alter ego. She’s usually more calm and collected, but she just had a crash-out moment😂, meet lover girl Monae. ‘Flau & B’ drops 2/14 Valentine’s Day,” she wrote in her post.
One of her fans commented, “Ohh, we already love Monae.” To which Johnson playfully responded, “She’s insane.”
Johnson is not just a basketball sensation—she is also an established artist. She noted that the upcoming album, “Flau & B,” is deeply personal.
“I poured my heart into this—every lyric, every melody. This ain’t just R&B. This is Flau & B,” she wrote.
Johnson is a rising star both on the court and in the recording studio. As an LSU guard, she has built an impressive athletic career.
With two albums, nine singles, and one EP already to her name, Johnson has worked with well-known artists, including NLE Choppa and Lil’ Wayne.
Her passion for music is deeply rooted in her family history. Johnson’s late father, Jason Johnson, pursued a rap career under the name “Camouflage” in the early 2000s. His influence continues to inspire her today, as she honors his legacy by pushing forward in the industry.
While some may struggle to balance two demanding careers, Johnson embraces the challenge. She excels on the basketball court while also making a name for herself in the entertainment world. Her ability to juggle both passions has set her apart from her peers, proving that she is much more than just an athlete.
