About this episode
In the second half of Flau'jae's conversation on Club Shay Shay, she reflects on playing against Coach Staley, what it would’ve meant to team up with Aliyah Boston, and her goal to beat South Carolina before she leaves LSU. She shares the viral story of her brother rushing the court, and sets her sights on another national title — she’s tired of Elite 8 exits. She keeps it real about the financial realities of going pro — making less in the WNBA than with NIL — and offers powerful advice to college athletes and parents: invest your NIL money. She’s trained with stars like Paige Bueckers, played against Juju Watkins, and recently bought 20 acres of land. Opening up about survivor’s guilt, she discusses feeling conflicted about “making it,” and shares her only job ever outside of hoops: DoorDash. She runs down her brand partnerships — Puma, Meta, JBL, Taco Bell, Doritos, Tinder, Invisalign, TurboTax, Raising Cane’s, Amazon, Samsung, Oreos, and more. Flau’jae shares her thoughts on Ja Morant’s shoes, the launch of WNBA’s 3-on-3 Unrivaled with Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, and how Napheesa is investing in women’s sports. She shouts out her mom and manager, while showing love to Jayden Daniels’ mom Regina. She also reveals her plans to build a community center in Savannah, opens up about privately dating her LSU WR boyfriend. Now signed to Roc Nation, she’s in the same roster as Rihanna, J. Cole, Lil Uzi Vert, Megan Thee Stallion, and more. From flying on LaMelo Ball’s private jet to performing with Lil Wayne at the ESPYs, Flau’jae is proving that you really can do it all. She even picks her dream WNBA starting five and shares why she’d love to play with the legendary Maya Moore. This is more than a conversation — it’s a blueprint for how to be iconic in your own lane.
