His brother, Andre Johnson, shared of photo of them enjoying celebrations on their infamous multi-million-dollar yacht. In a touching tribute he gushed:

"Your voice gives hope to your generation and I pray that it rings even louder this year. I love you and here's to many more good laughs."

Many of Andre's followers joined him in wishing his brother a happy birthday. One fan commented on their lavish getaway and said, "Johnsons always party in style!"

EJ commented on the post and thanked his brother for the tribute, and they engaged is a touching exchange in which they revealed their nickname for each other "gur."

While sharing more photos from EJ's birthday party on their family yacht, Magic posted a proud message to his son and

"Happy birthday to my amazing son EJ! I love how you touch the world. Continue to let your light shine! I love you!"

In the years since EJ came out, Magic sat down with Ellen DeGeneres and discussed how he had dealt with his son opening up about his sexuality.
