Flau’jae Johnson attended the 2025 BET Awards with her mom, Kia Brooks, and brother, Tray Milz. While they all looked glam for the event, Brooks shared a behind-the-scenes video of their preparation for the event.
On Thursday, the LSU star’s mom posted the video on Instagram and used it as a teachable moment. She captioned the video:
“The secret to avoiding last minute chaos? Being 1.5 hours early, trust me, I’ve been there as a manager. We faced some wardrobe snags, but my team still delivered and that’s what I’m most proud of. By handling pressure and thinking on their feet, they’ve developed problem solving skills that set them apart.”
She also added a message in the video:
“They almost missed the BET red carpet but I have raised some industry savages.”
Johnson wore a glamorous wine-red high-low gown paired with matching heels to the event, while her brother was styled in a black suit. Kia shared a video a couple of days ago that showed Johnson’s brother adjusting his sister’s gown during a photoshoot.
Johnson’s mom has often spoken about the bond between her kids, despite the LSU standout having a different father from the others.
Johnson has three brothers, but Trayron Milton, known by his rapper name “Tray Milz,” is the most famous of the three.
Tray once made headlines after storming the court during LSU’s loss to South Carolina during the 2024 SEC Championship game. He was arrested on charges of assault, battery and disorderly conduct but was later released on bond.
Johnson has said several times that family is what she falls back on and what keeps her going while juggling two careers. The LSU star has been one of the biggest names in college basketball since her freshman year, while she also has a thriving music career, inspired by her late father.
Flau’jae Johnson clears the air on relationship with Angel Reese
Johnson and Reese shared the court at LSU, winning a national championship together. However, their relationship is not as harmonious as it once was.
“We’re not friends, but that bond we had—that thing we did together, winning a national championship—you can never take that away from us,” Johnson explained during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” on Monday. “Sometimes stuff happens, you wish it didn’t, but it does. And you just gotta grow.”
Reese is already in the WNBA with the Chicago Sky, while Johnson has delayed entering into the draft by another year, citing that she needs more time to develop her game.
