Caitlin Clark captured the imagination of the entire sporting world during her time with the Iowa Hawkeyes. A singularly gifted athlete, her combination of scoring and passing made her one of the greatest women’s college basketball players of all time.

However, her success at Iowa was also met with some stiff competition, with a rivalry against Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers drawing comparisons to the Magic Johnson-Larry Bird rivalries of old. So, when another LSU superstar, Flau’jae Johnson, mentioned her by name in a song, Clark had to respond.

Caitlin Clark Reveals Conversation With Flau’jae Johnson

Alongside her success on the court, Johnson has also found success in the music industry as a rapper. She is following the footsteps of her father, James Johnson, who found success before his untimely murder.

On top of her success, Johnson is now making headlines by mentioning Clark by name in a new song.

The lyric, “Double C’s on my jacket like I’m Caitlin Clark,” caused quite a stir online, especially with the storied history behind the two women and their college rivalry. However, speaking to Meghan Hall of USA Today, Clark was fully onboard with the song.

“It was awesome,” Clark said. “Her music is really great, she’s so talented, and I’ve honestly been a really big fan of her since we’ve played them at LSU. I think her game is really good. It’ll be fun to watch her this last season in college.”

The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year then went on to reveal that Johnson was planning on adding her to a song and had even taken explicit permission from the all-time scoring leader in NCAA history.

“She told me a while back, actually, that she was putting me in a song. So I’ve kind of been waiting for it. I know it takes a while to make music and get everything into production, but yeah, she wasn’t lying. She really was actually putting me in a song. So yeah, she’s incredible.”

Johnson was part of the LSU starting lineup during the first LSU-Iowa matchup in the NCAA Tournament Finals in 2023 that set the college basketball world ablaze. A freshman at the time, she contributed nearly 11 points to her team during their run to the title.

A spectacular second season saw her earn her first All-SEC honor, as she was a huge reason for the Tigers making it to the Elite Eight, where they lost to the Hawkeyes and Clark. In her junior season, she’s had her best year to date, averaging 18.6 points and shooting over 38% from 3-point territory.

Entering her final year, there is going to be a ton of pressure on the youngster to lead the Tigers back to the promised land. She’s shown herself more than capable. But now it will be interesting to see if she can take another leap in her final collegiate season.
