Music star and former "Sexiest Man Alive," John Legend is more than grateful to Micahel B Jordan, the newly minted "Sexist Man Alive," as he handed his title over. On his Twitter page, Legend shared a congratulatory note lightly addressing B Jordan.

The award-winning singer's post came as a retweet of Jordan's appreciation tweet regarding his acclaimed title. Bringing on his goofy side, Legend, 41, shared his good wishes before going ahead to thank the actor for "bailing" him out of the title.

Last year, when Legend was presented with the title, his star wife Chrissy Teigen had a field day poking fun at him and basking in her spouse's then-new recognition. On social media, the cookbook author had fans reeling with laughter as she lightly showed her excitement for days.

Now that Legend has passed the mantle to Jordan, it's all about fun. Speaking to People, the "Black Panther" star made it known that his new accolade was well-received by the women in his family.

"[They] are definitely proud of this one. This is one that they're definitely going to have a special place for."

Before Jordan, several prominent men have held the position and many fans confirmed in the past that it was well-earned. While the "Creed" star took over from John Legend, Legend's predecessor was Idris Elba.

Other celebrities who have attained the milestone include Blake Shelton, Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson, David Beckham, Chris Hemsworth, Adam Levine, Channing Tatum, and Bradley Cooper, amongst others.
