The arena DJ for South Carolina University's women's basketball team has been suspended for one game over his song choice at the end of the Gamecocks' win over LSU on Friday.
According to the local Fox affiliate, the DJ, who goes by the stage name DJ T.O., played the song “Cut Friends” by Camouflage. The artist, whose real name was Jason Johnson, was the father of LSU player Flau’Jae Johnson. He was murdered in 2003, about six months before Flau’Jae was born.
