South Carolina apologizes to LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson for playing dad’s song after Tiger loss – WBRZ

COLUMBIA – The official DJ for South Carolina women’s basketball home games has been suspended after playing a song written by the father of LSU basketball star Flau’jae Johnson after the Tigers’ loss to the Game Cocks.

“DJ TO” played Camoflauge’s “Cut Friends” after LSU’s 66-56 loss to South Carolina. The artist, whose full name is Jason Johnson, is Flau’jae’s father. He was shot and killed in Georgia six months before she was born.

In a public statement, the school said DJ TO has been suspended for one week.

After LSU’s win against Texas A&M on Sunday, head coach Kim Mulkey addressed the issue and said he supports his player but can’t control what other teams do.

“All I care about is Flau’Jae, all I care about is her family. What South Carolina does, South Carolina does. I love that child and I couldn’t imagine her thoughts when this happened,” Mulkey said.
