In case you missed it, a few days ago NBA Hall of Famer, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, went viral all up and down these social media streets. Why? Because a Twitter account posted what appeared to be Magic Johnson donating his blood to the Red Cross. Needless to say, after word began to spread — that the NBA legend who tested positive for HIV in the 90s had recently donated blood — people were goin’ off about it online.
Fast forward to today, and Magic is finally speaking out about it. He has now released the following statement:
“I’m aware of the false story circling the internet,” the 63-year-old said, “and to be clear, I have never donated blood.”

In other words…Magic says ‘hell to the naw-naw,’ he did not donate blood to anyone, and that photo is BS.
However, Magic also didn’t elaborate on what exactly he was having his blood drawn for in that viral photo. Because it closely resembles the same process as donating blood, a lil’ further clarity what’ve been good to calm the online chit-chatter, and ease some nerves.
As you all know…after initially being diagnosed with HIV in 1991, and ultimately retiring that same year, Magic Johnson has since become an advocate for HIV awareness. It’s good to see the brotha continuing his fight.
