Magic feels grateful for Nas’ heartfelt shoutout

It’s not every day that a global icon receives a heartfelt tribute from another global icon.  But that’s precisely what happened. Two days ago, Nas dropped his album ‘Magic 2′. The 10-track release has a feature from 50 Cent and a bonus track with 21 Savage. In the last 3 years, the 55-year-old rapper has released 5 full-length projects.

On his latest record, Nas dedicated a track to the five-time champion, named ‘Earvin Magic Johnson’. The news took Magic by surprise, leaving him deeply moved by the kind words.

One of the bars in the song goes, “At The Forum like I’m Magic, and Kareem on the floor. Pat Riley on the bench, calling plays, I just score!”

In a heartwarming display of gratitude, Magic took to Twitter to personally thank the legendary East Coast rapper for the honor. Johnson said, “Thank you for the respect and honor of my business acumen. You’re a hell of a businessman in your own right!”

Despite being retired, Magic Johnson’s popularity hasn’t diminished. His recent visit to Italy and the response from the fans is proof of his immense reach. Magic’s tweet quickly garnered attention, with fans and followers from all walks of life chiming in to celebrate the heartwarming connection between the basketball legend and the rap icon.

Beyond the heartwarming connection with Nas, Magic’s name is synonymous with not only his legendary basketball career but also his remarkable business ventures.
