EJ has been a significant voice in the LGBTQ community. He's been vocal about his experience coming out and supporting other members of the community. However, his 28th birthday is all about him. Surely, his parents made him know that.

Magic explained that he worries his children could also be victims of police brutality.

As for Magic, he's also been a voice of reason at a time when the country appears to be on the brink of a revolution.

He revealed in a recent interview that he continues to worry about his children and possible police interactions. In part, he said:

"I had that conversation because it's important that I have that conversation with both EJ and Andre."

Johnson further said that George Floyd, the Minnesota man whose death sparked the protests, did everything he should have. Despite that, the police officer continued to choke him.

With the reality of the situation, Magic explained that he worries his children could also be victims of police brutality. If it could happen to George, it could happen to them too.

Magic added that the death goes on to show the distrust between members of the African-American community and police.

Putting his support behind the protesters, he said that the reason for such outrage is understandable. People are fed up, and they want a change.
