Flau'jae and Lil Wayne’s New Video "Came Out a Beast" Is Basketball Meets Rap With Cameo by LSU’s Kim Mulkey

LSU Tigers guard Flau'jae Johnson takes rap to the basketball court in the music video for her Lil Wayne-assisted single "Came Out a Beast."

Last performed at the 2024 ESPY Awards in July, the Terrius Mykel-directed music video reenacts an LSU women's basketball game–with team coach Kim Mulkey making a cameo–and where Johnson races against time to bring home the win. The four-minute visual cuts to scenes of the 20-year-old rapping alongside Weezy, and performing among teammates before popping bottles to celebrate a winning conclusion.

In a press statement, Johnson shared that working with Lil Wayne was "a dream come true."

“He’s a legend in the game, and being able to collaborate with him on this track was surreal. The energy on set was incredible, and we both brought that fire to the video," she said.

She also spoke about her LSU women’s basketball teammates, who are featured in the video.

“Having my teammates in the ‘Came Out A Beast’ video was a real moment for me. We’re all grinding together on and off the court, so bringing them into this part of my life felt natural. It’s cool to show that connection in a different way, outside of basketball. I’m really thankful they were a part of this moment with me,” she said.

On Coach Mulkey's music video acting debut, she notes, “She’s always been in my corner, both on and off the court, pushing me to be my best. Her support means everything to me, so it was amazing to have her be part of this moment. It just shows how much she believes in all of us, not just as players, but as individuals with our own dreams.”

"Came Out a Beast" appears on Johnson's debut project, Best of Both Worlds, which released last month and also features fellow Southern rhymers NLE Choppa ("AMF") and 2Rare ("Karma").

Complex caught up with Johnson in May, where she acknowledged being on former Lifetime music competition The Rap Game as a child.

"I don't think anybody else forgot but it was so long ago," Johnson said. "I was on The Rap Game when I was 12 years old."
