Magic Johnson yet again proves talent recognizes talent. Beyonce recently dropped her latest album and the ex-NBA legend is all awestruck. The 3x NBA champion took to his social media to give her the highest possible appreciation in the industry. He compared the 42-year-old singer with Michael Jackson. “You are women’s history!”, he wrote.

“Just like I say Michael Jackson is the greatest male entertainer of all time, you are the greatest female entertainer of all time,” he stated in his appreciation post on Instagram. The ex-LA Lakers icon started his tribute by recognizing Beyonce as a living icon for her latest album, ‘Cowboy Carter’. He further termed the singer a multifaceted force as a singer, songwriter, director, actress, record producer, and entrepreneur.

“With over 160 million records sold, countless awards won (including a historical 32 Grammys), featured roles in eight movies, two fashion lines, and now a new hair care line..it’s impossible to argue that your influence on culture is irreplaceable,” read the post. Magic Johnson further emphasized that he was looking forward to the 42-year-old singer bringing more representation into the country genre and ‘amplifying the Black voice’.

He raised his voice in her support when he felt that Grammys’ recognition of the singer was underwhelming for her record-breaking achievement. “Over the weekend, I was very disappointed with the lack of tribute and recognition the Recording Academy showed Beyoncé after she became the most decorated artist in Grammy history with 32 Grammy awards,” read a post by Magic Johnson in Queen Bey’s support. And this support now remains constant with the 64-year-old’s praise for ‘Cowboy Carter’.
