Rapper and LSU player Flau’jae Johnson’s brother has been taken away in handcuffs after storming onto the field to protect his sister in a nasty tantrum during the Lady Tigers’ SEC Championship loss to South Carolina.

Tempers flared in the final minutes of the fourth quarter of Sunday’s high-profile game when an intentional foul by Johnson on Milaysia Fulwiley led to an exchange of shoves between women on both teams. Johnson also shoved Ashlyn Watkins when she appeared to mock the LSU player by celebrating the soon-to-be win in front of her opponent.

But the melee between both teams didn’t stop there, as South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso came out of nowhere to knock Johnson to the ground, and continued to both benches to get into it.

That’s when Johnson’s brother — Trayron Lennoris Milton Jr., popularly known as Tray Milz, because of his stage name as a singer — entered the field from the stands. This prompted highly alarmed officers to restrain him before getting him off the floor. Milz boasts 68.8k followers on Instagram where he has shared a post about being the ‘brother of a national champion’ last year when LSU won the NCAA title and was once enrolled at Georgia Southern University, according to Weekly magazine for the music industry.

He also tweeted Sunday’s championship game: ‘LSU VS SC will always be a gamer, I’m in this arena throwing stuff.’

After the referees reviewed the incident on replay screens, which led to a 20-minute game delay, Johnson was called for a deliberate foul, while Cardoso was given a disqualifying foul. What’s more, the final 2:08 was played in which LSU had no bench with all of the team’s substitutes ejected for their involvement in the game.

“I just want to apologize to the basketball community,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said in a postgame ESPN interview, first. ‘When you play in championship games like this in our league, things heat up.

‘No bad intentions. Their emotions got so far ahead of them that sometimes these things happen. So I would like to apologize for us playing a part in that. That’s not who we are. That’s not what we’re about.

“But I’m happy for the players who were able to finish the game to get us another championship.”

The South Carolina Gamecocks entered Sunday’s game as the No. 1 ranked team in the nation and with an undefeated record (31-0). On the other hand, No. 4 LSU (28-4) is the reigning NCAA champions. The players on both teams had plenty of words to say about each other coming into the high-profile match.

South Carolina went on to capture their eighth SEC title in 10 seasons by defeating the Lady Tigers, 79-72, after the long delay.
