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.

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.
