The University of South Carolina suspended a DJ who played a song by LSU star Flau'jae Johnson's late father after the team's win over the Tigers on Friday night.
University of South Carolina athletics said Sunday it suspended the DJ who played a song to troll the LSU Tigers women’s basketball team and its star Flau’jae Johnson after the Gamecocks’ win in their pivotal matchup. No. 2 South Carolina topped No. 5 LSU, 66-56, on Friday night. The Gamecocks’ win ended the Tigers’ undefeated streak to start the season.
South Carolina’s official DJ, DJ T.O., played the instrumental version of Camoflauge’s 'Cut Friends.' Camoflauge was shot and killed in Savannah, Georgia, outside Pure Pain Records while he was walking his son. He is the father of Flau’jae Johnson and the shooting occurred six months before she was born, according to NOLA.com. DJ T.O. reshared someone’s post about the song on Instagram and wrote 'My bad' with a cry-laughing emoji.
’ll take my L on the chin, but this just nasty behavior. Nun funny bout that,' Johnson wrote on Saturday. South Carolina then addressed the incident. 'We are addressing Friday night’s inappropriate in-game song selection and subsequent Instagram post by the DJ who is hired to work our women’s basketball games,' the school said. 'Her actions were understandably upsetting to Flau’jae Johnson and her family and disrespectful to the LSU program and fans.
As a result of her actions, DJ T.O. will be suspended for the next women’s basketball home game, and we will meet with her to provide further education on our expectations of her in the future.' Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
