College basketball star apologises after using 9/11 reference in song

LSU star Flau'jae Johnson has apologised after she made a reference to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in a music video shared on social media.

The 19-year-old musician is also a freshman at LSU and a guard for their Women’s Basketball team. Johnson recently helped LSU win the national title, averaging 11 points and 5.9 rebounds per game this season.

One of Johnson’s most recent songs was a remix of Latto's "Put It On Da Floor”, which she posted, and later deleted, on Twitter. In the song, she used the lyric: "In this 911, blowing smoke just like them towers,” whilst talking about a Porsche 911 sports car.
