Speaking to E! News backstage at the Grammy Awards, Johnson said his family roots for Beyonce, when asked if he is a fan of anyone. “Well, I mean, I think between Beyonce and Adele. Between both of them, for sure. We love Beyonce. We got a Beyonce household,” The Great One said.

The $500 million worth singer did not disappoint her fan. From her nine nominations, she took home four awards. Now, there are reports that she’ll feature in rapper Travis Scott’s new album- Utopia. This might help Beyonce to win more awards and give a reason for her famous fan to cheer for her.
