Whatever you want to say, wherever you want to say. How you doing? I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. I don't know if people know this, but you're from the Seaport. You grew up about three outside of here in Savannah, Georgia. Yeah, most of them, most of them. R.I.P. Camouflage.

That's what we do at the Seaport. Let me ask you this. How do you balance the two? Because obviously you're good at this rap game. You play basketball at an elite level. What's the schedule? How do you balance the two? Because obviously you're good at this rap game. You play basketball at an elite level. What's the schedule? How do you find time to, because basketball, you own a basketball scholarship.

But you still, this is your passion also. So how do you balance that? I mean, it is hard, but it's not impossible, right? You just gotta, it's just time management. But I know in the summer, I gotta take full advantage of my time in music, you know what I'm saying? So I just try to go full throttle while still working out and trying to get better in the off season.

Because during the season, Coach Moki like, all right, this is my time. You know what I'm saying? That was kind of our deal. You give me everything you got in the season, and in the summer, I'm gonna let you rock and do your music. So yeah. You know you give me everything you got in the season in the summer. I'm gonna let you rock and do your music so yeah Tell us the story I saw you over in Cannes and you was telling the story that you had a concert one night

You had to do the concert, but you had to fly back got back early in the morning You were sleeping you was tired, but you know you had to get it because coach Mokie was gonna be on yo You know what had you not yeah? No, so what happened was, Rod Wave, he gave me the chance to open up for him in Atlanta. So we had a game that night. The next day after games, we always have off days. So I flew to Atlanta on my off day,

and then I drove back seven hours to go to BR, right? And I'm already knowin' it's a stigma of, nah, she can't do both for real, you know what I'm sayin'? So I don't even wanna give people a thought to even be like, oh, she came to practice and she was tired. No, when I came to practice, I was like bouncing off the walls for real. Because I knew that I had to come in and kill. You know what I'm saying?

And I was the first one in the gym, last one out, like always. So I mean, my mindset, you know what I'm saying? I think it's more mind over matter. I think your mind can make you do things that your body sometimes won't allow when you determine. That's how I feel like I work all the time. You know what? We all have dreams when we're growing up as kids. Obviously my dream I want to be an NFL player.

One of your dreams I'm sure is to play in the WNBA. Will you continue your path as far as, I don't want to word it the right way, actually wanting to rap as well and be able to balance both at the highest level? Yeah, I think it'll be easier honestly because I don't have as much commitment. Yeah, like oh my gosh. School, you got school first of all, then you got tutoring sessions and all of that, and you got weights and you got All the other you know requires some athlete practice everything

So I think it'll be easier You know saying to be able to build my schedule how I want to do my goal is to like Play an arena during the day and then sell out that same arena at night like playing basketball You have to work that out with the coach. I don't know if she's going to be going for that one. She better go. Flau'jae, you just dropped your project called Best of Both Worlds in July.

It's a nine-song studio EP. What was your process? Have you always wanted to do an album? Well, yeah, it's an EP, not really album. I want to save the album title for when I do my big one. But yeah, I mean, just putting together a body of work, you know what I'm saying, that's always been a goal of mine. And having Lil Wayne on it was just like,

I knew I needed that big stamp, that big co-sign, right? Like this girl, she dropped the project, okay, it's cool. She go to LSU, that's a vibe. But when you got Lil Wayne on it kind of holds some weight You know what I'm saying? So it was just important for me to put that out and the title was important because it was just like I really got The best of both worlds, you know, when did you realize that you could rap? When I was on America's Got Talent

I was on America's Got Talent when I was about 14 and I got the golden buzzer, and Simon Cowell came to the back, and he was like, you know, one day you could be a superstar. And I'm like, but, I'm like, that's Simon Cowell, he don't even like singers for real. So him telling a young black girl that he sees some type of superstar power in her, that kind of just gave me the confidence that I could do it. Because right before America's Got Talent,

I was on the rap game with Jermaine Dupree and I lost. And so that was like, when I lost that, I went into my room and I just wrote all day. And then America Got Talent called and I was ready for the opportunity. And I got that validation that I kind of needed as a 14 year old. And ever since then, nobody could tell me nothing for sure.

Who are some of the artists, as you continue to grow in your career, who are some of the artists, you continue to grow in your career? Who are some of the female artists or male that you would like to collab with? Man, I don't want to just do rap. I have an R&B project out. I don't know if you all heard that. It's called For the Lovers. You all can go listen to that. It's dope.

But I want to work with Adele. Like I said, I want to work with Rod Wave. I want to work with like Adele. Like I said, I want to work with Rod Wave. I want to work with Meg. It's a lot of people I want to work with. Kehlani SZA. A lot of different people in the industry. But people really love the craft. Like that's what I want to work with. That's live. That's live. You've already won a national championship. So what would mean more to you? Winning a Grammy and rap or winning a WNBA title? Oh, that's a good one. I think being, I've done that, being an Olympic gold medalist.

Oh, you want to be on, okay, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, and don't, the WNBA, they was like the best players in the world to me, but I

think when I sat down on my podcast with Khalia Copper, she was telling me, that's elite, playing the best players in the world and saying that you're one of the best in the world. That's dope, but that Grammy is something that's special to me, only because I got into music because of the man on my shirt my dad so you know I always felt like music was our bond and you know He was he was murdered before I was born and I felt like you know his legacy got cut short And it was always like my job to continue the legacy and make sure people know his name and so

Getting that Grammy would kind of just be like that that way to just submit his legacy Offseason what is Flau'jae working on? What is she doing to improve her basketball game? Yeah, for me, this off season, I mean, I've been working on it a lot, but I keep getting better. It's crazy. You know the process of seeing that leap you take? From my freshman to my sophomore year, I took a beautiful leap.

It was more so my confidence. And then this year I just learned that it's more, that's like 90% mental and 10% physical, right? And but it's just been getting my cardio together, just getting my ball handling together, and just being more consistent on my shooting. I think I've become a better, a smarter player just watching film.

But for me it's's been my cardio, just been working on that. Because last year I feel like I was kind of out of shape. I'm a freak athlete, so my endurance, my energy carries me, but I still feel like fatigue. I don't want to feel like that. Because I play both sides of the ball, and I want to be defensive player this year,

defensive player of the year as well this year. So I'm going to have to be in immaculate shape to do both. Can I ask you this? You won the national championship, you guys beat Iowa. The next year you guys come back and you played them in the semi-finals and you faced Kaitlyn Clark again. Was there a difference between her

in the national championship game in which you guys won and the semi-final games in which you guys lost? No, she's the same player. I feel like a player like Kaitlyn, you can only contain her. It's not like, no, we're gonna make her score 10 points this game, that's not gonna happen. But it's just like, I feel like our team the year before

was just more equipped. Like, you know, I think. To deal with it. Yeah, we had more of a strategy, we had a fuller roster. We had a deeper bench. Like our bench won that championship game for us that first year. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't even really the start of it.

So I think we needed more depth and we didn't have that. But I feel like we gave it all we had. But this year, you know, we're coming different. You know, I wish Clark was still here, but she's going, dominating the league now. So you know, this next year, you know, we're coming for it for sure if You think about what you're doing with rap what you're doing with basketball outside of that. What do you like to do? You got to have something that you enjoy that you would consider. I don't consider you rapping I don't consider that a hobby. That is something that you can do as a profession, right? So what?

Outside of it. What is your piece, your safe haven? My little brothers, I have four of them. Yeah, I have four little brothers and just being a good big sister, man. I know I'm a role model for a lot of kids, but those babies in that house, they look at me like I'm just the best person in the world. Like Queen Sheeva for real.

So just trying to be the best person that, cause I feel like now kids are being raised on social media. You know what I'm saying? And it's true, it's like nothing you can really do about it. Kind of like all they're doing is on the iPad. So just being that person that they can really look up to. You know what I'm saying? Like off the camera, cause they really know me for real.

So that's just important to me. And I just like to chill, do regular kid stuff most of the time. But I'm really deep into the community too. I got a lot of big stuff planned for the community. So you gave backpacks or something back in Savannah back in your home town? Oh my gosh, yeah. Every year I do like this six figure give back, right?

And all of my NIL partners, I'm like, I tell them, put in the budget. I need all of this. You know what I'm saying? I need JBL, I need speakers, headphones for the kids. Puma, we gave away like a thousand shoes. Jansports, we gave away a thousand backpacks. Wow. That's live.

Give it up. That's live. That's amazing. Yeah, and so we do that every year. This year we gave away thousands and thousands and thousands of stuff for kids and they were sending me their pictures. It's so important for kids to go to school looking good.

Like, you know what I'm saying? And having that confidence, like it means the world. And so I know that. And so just doing that for the community just, it just does something for me. And also just, I just became an ambassador for the K-Y'all Fund. And, you know, I was just, they, they, my grandma died from cancer, my cousin died from cancer, and I was just sitting down with them and they were just saying how cancer is three times more likely, is some type of gene, in black women, that's gonna,

is three times more likely to affect black women. So I'm partnering with them and we're gonna send a bus down to Savannah to give away free mammograms for all women and things like that. So certain things in the community I just try to do. You know what I'm saying? That's amazing. That's awesome. That's awesome.

You see what's transpired with the WNBA. There are more eyes. The viewership is through the roof. The sponsorship, the advertising, the sales. And you see what's going on. How does that make you feel to see the transformation? Great players, Asia Wilson, and we got Stewie, and you got Inescoie and you got a nest cool

And you got all these and then obviously you get Caitlin Clark and you get Angel Reese and you get Rekia Jackson and Cameron Brink Who's injured but that's what you about to go into a next year to know I think is beautiful And I think is it's even more beautiful house like trickling down like that last weekend I was coaching overtime select was's a bunch of high school girls. They get in this national media attention and it's happening because of what's going on in the WNBA and what we're doing in college is giving them that experience. It's gonna be a time in the league where a girl is gonna go into a league and she's gonna have a million dollar deal.

That's gonna be crazy. You know what I'm saying? That's awesome. Nobody would have thought of that. It's probably not gonna be me, but it's gonna be that, you know what I'm saying? Like that's awesome, like nobody would have thought of that. And it's not probably not gonna be me, but it's gonna be that next generation. So I think it's just like about us inspiring and the other little girls that's coming, like it's beautiful to see.

I'm excited to be a part of it for sure, but they're the best of the best for real. It's live, I like it. Short term goals, long term goals. Short term goals, I wanna lead my team to a national championship. Yeah. For sure.

Short-time goals. Before I graduate, I need one of my songs to at least go gold or platinum. So I got that. Y'all, when I say stream, I mean that. Go stream. But no, yeah, just continue to build my music portfolio. I think it's just, you know, I gotta set the bar high. I feel like I won a national championship and then I got a future with Weezy, so that was like my national championship in music.

So now I just gotta keep building on that. But I definitely wanna win another national championship. It's no feeling like that. I did it my freshman year, right? So I didn't lead my team to a national championship. Although I did start all the games, I was freshman my freshman year, right? So I didn't lead my team to a national championship. Although I did start all the games, I was freshman of the year, but I didn't lead it. Like, you know what I'm saying?

I wanna actually lead my team and show that I can be that kind of player. Right. Other than yourself, what's on your playlist? Ooh, Adele. Real bad. I love Adele, I don't know why. She's unbelievable in concert.

You went to her concert? I did, I've seen her several times. You didn't have to do that. Um, uh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. There's so many people. I don't know, Adele, I'm just gonna leave it at that. You're leaving it at Adele? No, ooh, I got a good one.

Favorite female rapper. Right now. Who the best female rapper right now? Who is the best female rapper right now? We know that. I really like Flo Milli. I like her swag. she got that swag. She's a pretty chocolate girl, she's making waves.

I love that for sure. But I mean, I feel like the women putting on GloVilla's going crazy right now. Listen, they all going crazy, that's why I wanna hear. You got Meg, you got sexy red. I mean, I love them all, and it's like I love them because they so different. You got Lotto, Iceberg.

caught up in a bizarre situation. HGV explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns in church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked, Voila, you got straight

I don't like energy like that, different energy. You know, I don't trust people. Right. Another thing we have as athletes, once we do make it,

do you have a problem with family members and everybody always asking and asking and asking and what people would do is they would continue to ask and ask until they bleed you dry do you have a problem saying no because I noticed with most rappers everybody has an entourage yeah and most of the time the person that takes care of that entire entourage is that one alpha that's leading leading the way I ain't got no problem saying no like I'll tell you like you ain't I look

out for a person but you you not finna just keep on doing it just because you know I got it. Like, if you ain't gonna do nothing with the money, it's like I'm giving it in vain. You know what I'm saying? I'm only gonna take care of the people I supposed to take care of. You know what I'm saying?

Home, my mom, my granny, like stuff like that. But I don't have people around me who feel like they obligated either. You know what I'm saying? My partners, I all kind of wanna pull their own way to try to do their own thing. But if they need me, they know I got them. You know what I'm saying? partners are kind of gonna pull their own way to try to do their own thing Yes, but if they need me they not I got them, you know I'm saying so it's already understood I got real people around me like real friends

So it ain't never been nowhere is like everybody just want some just want some but I'll tell a nigga like yeah Like, you know, you just you own your last one You finna keep on doing it now do you do Cuz a lot of it's hard to tell family know because like you said you lie to your partners I've been with you since you were 13 and 14 Family's been with you since day one and sometimes they can make you feel guilty Cuz if it was me I would I would do it for you

I Still know how to say no like you can't you can't you can't butter me up I still know how to say no like you can't you can't you can't butter me up I know who's around I know who who really like supporting me. I like that's cool You know I'm saying but like if I say no I say no and I go like like a lot of people don't even got My number like if it's some extended family members my mama kind of you got to go through my mom anyway Cuz she had like my mama ain't trying to hurt none of that To this day like she ain't trying to none of that ain't trying to hurt her none of that. To this day, she ain't trying to hurt none of that.

You opened up for Jay-Z and Beyonce on the Run Tour 2. What was that experience like? It's like, it was different. Like 70,000, 60,000 people. That was something I ain't never experienced. And then when I came out, the hometown just showed love. Hometown, I always going to show love. So it was just like a beautiful thing.

Is it everything that you, doing what you did? Cause for me, like all I wanna do is make money to get my grandmother, get my family out of that environment. I mean, I really didn't think about like 70, 80,000 fans cheering for me. That wasn't what I really wanted. I wanted the fortune, the fame I could have done without. But obviously that's a part of it. Is it everything that you imagined that when you like in your bed and you

thinking about man I'm going on this journey and one day I'm gonna be 60 70 thousand in a in a stadium not arena a stadium is it everything you thought it would be yeah like it's like a bittersweet feeling cuz like you pray for a lot of stuff and then when you actually live in your dream Bro, like you got to understand like it's a lot of people out here praying to be in your position You know I'm saying it's a lot of people been chasing dreams 30 40 years and they seen no success with it So I'm one of them that can actually say that I made it so every chance that I get but I'm gonna pray about it I'm gonna thank God and be grateful for everything because like it's a lot of people that want to be in my position. Yeah

What are some of the things that came along with this this fame that you came with that you didn't expect Yeah for sure a lot of hate It's one of those six ways like damn if you do damn if you don't right and it's like one of six ways What you got to just really just, you gotta be built for it, because a lot of people, if you're not built for this, like success will turn you down too. That's a side to down too.

Like there's a lot of critics, like they gonna critique everything you do, they gonna think whatever they think about you, you know what I'm saying? If you wanna change the narrative, you can't be at the same time you gotta have tough skin, because people gonna hate, they gonna be jealous, they gonna envy you, they gonna just say anything. And if you want to change the narrative you can't be at the same time you got to have tough skin Cuz people gonna hate they gonna be jealous. They gonna envy you They gonna just say anything there and if you let it get to you like it a turp motherfucker down like you know I'm saying

But I ain't never been a type that let it turn me down But I didn't know it was gonna be like so much bullshit like to come along with you know Yes, yes the funny thing with the bullshit it only happens because of success So now that you have this success What is continued to inspire and motivate you to continue to want to climb that mountain and ladder in your in your credit? I just want to shit on more folks who don't think it's still in me Everybody they hate I like I'm glad y'all hating on me I'm glad that you feel like you're something sweet cuz I love proving motherfuckers wrong like it's I'm here for a reason

You know I'm saying like God ain't bringing me this far just to turn his back on me so I damn sure ain't finna let no motherfuckers Tell me like otherwise, you know I'm saying Listen you could you you've collaborated with some dope-ass major artists Is there one person you haven't had a chance to collab with that you want to besides me I Gotta give one with the light-skinned nigga man Drake. I got to bro. It's just okay. We got a week no dark skin Yeah, you know y'all I'm dark your heart, but you know yeah Yeah, I've been picking on us since we was you know since since the beginning of time so I gotta I gotta do

80s though in the 80s Y'all ran the 80s. Yeah, I probably yeah, I ain't alive. I definitely would have been shitting on y'all I ain't a lot. I would have a different type attitude Michael Jackson Prince I would have had a perm and everything Hey, we best probably got Michael Jordan Western's night. They was over y'all. Yeah We better gotta got Michael Jordan Weston's night. They was over y'all. Yeah Come on man, what a yellow nigga there but now gotta be Drake I want to do one with Nikki Okay, I want to do some afro beach to like with with burner boy I want to get on Rihanna to hang on that and uh Bob Cortez just came home free here

I mean shout out to him I want to do one with vibes. I want to do something with just everybody bro. I ain't gonna let you know what He think about the names. He just named right like some of the biggest in the world man What's the process like do you get a phone and be like hey? I got something I want to send it to you. I want to work with you. How does that work? I really think they go off like relationships like you've got to be at the right place at the right time I tell people all the time relationship worth more than money. Yes, sir You know I'm saying like certain shit you just can't buy like people just got to want to fuck with you gene

Yeah, and that's why I get like a lot of my features like it people be thinking like I know he paid for this He paid for that, but I don't be paying for nothing Like niggas literally be looking out for me just off the strength just because of who I am and hot what type of gene was sold I had you know which is the blessing you know I'm saying I don't be thinking like I'm gonna get it for free just need No, I fuck with you. It would really be fucking me up though You know I'm saying but relationship is being solid having a good face card to take a motherfucker for life That's awesome. That's unbelievable. I tell people that all the time in business people think business is about money Business is about relationship because a lot of times that since I've been in business for myself

A lot of times that people that I've met they're in position. They weren't in that position in the beginning But if they've climbed the ladder they become CFO they become CEO It ain't what you know about who you know And they say man I remember when I was such-and-such in the way you treated me and the way I introduced you to my dad I introduced you to my brother my friends and man and I said hey This is the guy I want to be a part of and so it's all about relationships You think it's about money and it's about relationships for you never know

You never know who's gonna be in a position to help you. So just make sure you treat people on the way up when you're trying to rise because you never know who's gonna be in a position to really help you out.
