The rapper has been a major figure in the basketball star's life.

Flau'jae Johnson is one of the hottest names in women's basketball. The LSU freshman played an important role in the team's first-ever National Championship. However, Johnson is also a rapper. Performing under the stage name Flau'jae, Johnson previously appeared on The Rap Game and America's Got Talent. However, she has since signed with Roc Nation and is prepping collabs with a number of artists. But she also shares a deep connection with Boosie Badazz.

Boosie is not having a great time as of late. The rapper was arrested on Wednesday following a court appearance. Subsequently, he was denied bond and reportedly faces several felony firearm charges. These charges allegedly stem from a May Instagram Live, in which Boosie was spotted in possession of a firearm. However, amid all the chaos, an interview has been released detailing the deep connection Booise shares with Johnson.

Boosie Explains Being There For Johnson After Father's Murder

"I was cool with her dad," Boosie explained, referring to rapper Camoflauge. "All through her life, I've been there. She calls me uncle. She been playing in my backyard since she was little." Furthermore, the rapper couldn't help but smile as Vlad asked him how it felt to see Johnson win a National Championship earlier this year. "It made me proud. It got me emotional, it made me proud. I saw it. I saw it coming. When she was about going to LSU...I'm just happy for her. I know her daddy looking down on her, happy for her."

Camoflague, born Jason Johnson, was a close friend of Boosie's. However, he was tragically killed in Savannah, Georgia at the age of 21 in 2003. Flau'jae was born a little under six months later. In her own interview on VladTV, she spoke about everything that Boosie had done to help her over the years. "He showed love, even helping me get on The Rap Game, tried to help me navigate as much as he could. He got a lotta kids so for him to even reach his hand out, to take the time to do that, that was a lotta love."
