What kind of person was “Uncle Johnny” who appeared in Beyonce’s Grammy acceptance speech?
On Sunday, February 5, the 65th Grammy Awards ceremony, the world’s premier music festival, was held at the Crypt.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, USA.
At this year’s Grammy Awards, she won four awards, including “Best Dance/Electronic Album (Renaissance)” and “Best R&B Song (CUFF IT),” bringing her career total to 32 Grammy awards. She made history by becoming the most decorated Grammy winner of all time.

In her acceptance speech, she thought of her late uncle “Johnny.
However, some people did not know who this “Uncle Johnny” was and had some doubts.
The album “Renaissance,” for which Beyonce won four awards, contains many songs that express her love for black culture and queer culture.
Beyoncé mentioned that “Uncle Johnny,” who was also a member of the LGBTQ community, was a big influence on her music making.
This time, her mother Tina Knowles-Lawson wrote details on social networking sites about the Uncle Johnny that Beyoncé revealed in her speech.
Last July, Tina Knowles-Lawson spoke at length about Johnny on her Instagram.

Johnny was the closest person in the world to me. We grew up inseparable. He was my nanny, my housekeeper, my designer, my dance partner, my mentor, and my best friend,” she wrote. When he passed away, I felt like a part of me left with him. Solange (Beyonce’s sister) and Beyonce adored him. Johnny helped raise those girls, so his uniqueness and unique sense of style rubbed off on them. He even made Beyonce’s prom dress. Last night she asked me to listen carefully to the song “Heated” all the way through, and I listened to it for the first time. I listened to it for the first time, and I couldn’t stop crying because it included this episode.
