Rod Wave has been full of surprises during his tour, the latest of which saw he bring a multi-talented hoops star out on stage.
During the latest stop on his multi-city tour on Wednesday (December 13), the “Rags to Riches” MC brought out Flau’jae Johnson of the LSU Tigers — the same team that Angel Reese calls home — to spit some bars.

The star athlete — who has also followed in her father Camouflage’s steps musically — performed her track, “Big 4,” just days before she’s set to hit the court with her basketball team on Sunday (December 17).
TMZ Sports was on hand for the fire performance, which you can check out below.
Last month, Rod Wave made headlines when Baton Rouge native Boosie Badazz demanded more than $200,000 in what he called “emotional damages.”
During an Instagram Live on November 30, the Baton Rouge rapper claimed he asked Rod to give him $200,000 and 25 percent of the publishing of his song “Long Journey” — which Boosie claims interpolated his 2010 track of the same name — to settle their dispute, but his proposition was rejected.

“I told dude, give me $200,000 and 25 percent of the record going forth and I’m not going to sue you or nothing,” he said. “‘Cause you already made money off my thing, and you made people choose sides in the industry. You done affected me in that way also.
“This dude thought I was gonna tell him $2 million! No, n-gga! I’m not gonna tell you $2 million. I don’t own 100 percent of [the song]!”

Boosie then claimed that Rod Wave attempted to negotiate and offered him $150,000, but he wasn’t prepared to accept anything less than $200,000.
“I’m already spending $30,000 to my lawyer to sue you!” he continued. “We was on the phone, he was like, ‘I’m a fan, bro.’ I said, ‘I blame the label more than I blame you. You could’ve called me but I blame the label because they knew.’

“He said, ‘Man, I was supposed to tell the label.’ No, the label knew, too. I tried to work with that dude. Now, when the suit come, you gon’ pay me for emotional damages, Instagram, everything.”
In addition to Rod Wave, Boosie Badazz called out other artists for allegedly interpolating his lyrics without permission last month and threatened legal action against him.

In response, the “Heart on Ice” hitmaker said he would “pull up” on Boosie and fairly compensate him while letting him know he’s a fan of his.
