Angel Reese - collegiate basketball star, professional trash talker. There are so many reasons that the LSU junior has been in the news lately. She set an NCAA record for single-season double-doubles. She led LSU to their first-ever women's basketball National Championship. She beefed with the Bidens about the response to her conduct in the National Championship Game. Angel Reese is the face of college basketball right now. There is no one bigger than her.

But she's not the only LSU star shining right now. Two of her teammates were just drafted into the WNBA. And then there's Flau'jae Johnson. Johnson won SEC Rookie of the Year for her performance at LSU alongside Reese and company. She's also a musical star in her own right and is currently working on collab with Lil Wayne. From team leaders to future stars, LSU's players have truly put themselves on the map.

Khaled, Reese, And Johnson

In a seemingly neverending tour of music and sports royalty for LSU's stars, DJ Khaled was the latest figure to link up with them. A post on the rapper's Instagram with the caption "Bless up and congrats" showed him meeting both Angel Reese and Flau'jae Johnson. It's yet another big name throwing vocal support behind not just women's sports, but players who have had to battle adversity and criticism in recent weeks. If the support carries over into next season, expect star-studded crowds at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Regardless, LSU's stars are capitalizing on a wave of support from some of the biggest names out there.

Additional context about the meeting could be found on Johnson's Instagram. In a post of her own, Johnson wrote "Wow, God Doing His Big One... Flaujae X @djkhaled coming soon". This indicates that it was not just a social link-up, but a business meeting for the young rapper. Along with collab with Lil Wayne, Johnson's track Point Of View recently surpassed 200,000 views on YouTube, according to her most recent Instagram post. A meeting with an industry giant like Khaled speaks to big things in the works for Johnson and the rest of her LSU cohort.
