South Carolina WBB Suspends DJ Who Trolled LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson

The in-arena DJ for South Carolina women’s basketball has been suspended for one game after playing a song by the late father of LSU star Flau’Jae Johnson.

The South Carolina women’s basketball program announced Sunday it suspended its arena DJ for one game after she played a song by LSU star Flau’jae Johnson’s father when the Gamecocks were solidifying their victory on Friday. 

The LSU star’s father Jason Johnson, whose rap name was Camoflauge, was murdered in 2003, six months before his daughter was born. 

On Saturday Johnson tweeted with an image from DJ T.O.’s Instagram story in which the DJ shared a laughing emoji about having played a song by Camouflage in the closing moments of South Carolina’s win over LSU on Friday. 

“I’ll take my L on the chin, but this just nasty behavior. Nun funny bout that,” Johnson wrote on X. 

The DJ apologized on Saturday, writing in part that it was “never my intent to disrespect anyone or offend anyone when my job is to have fun and make sure other people have a good time.”

“We are addressing Friday night’s inappropriate in-game song selection and subsequent Instagram post,” South Carolina’s women’s basketball program wrote in a statement. “Her actions were understandably upsetting to Flau’Jae Johnson and her family and disrespectful to the LSU program and fans. Conference rivalries and passionate fan bases should only serve to enhance sports, not be used to target individual players personally.”

The punishment for the DJ is relatively light compared to how the South Carolina program has reacted to allegations of abusive behavior toward athletes in the past. 

In 2022, South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley canceled a home-and-home series against BYU after a Duke volleyball player said she had been the target of a racial slur at BYU. 

“I just wanted to make sure our players didn’t have to endure that,” Staley said at the time. “Because if something happened of that manner, I don’t have the words to comfort them.”
