DJ T.O. reshared someone's post about the song on Instagram and wrote "My bad" with a cry-laughing emoji.

"I'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. Conference rivalries and passionate fan bases should only serve to enhance sports, not be used to target individual players personally. 

"We regret that it came to that in our venue after a game that saw both teams capture the level of national attention that women's basketball has earned and we apologize to Flau'jae, her family and LSU.

"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."
