Shortly after that response, Johnson took to Twitter to congratulate Luvu and his team. He also mentioned how he is in touch with his team and would send Luvu some tequila from his brand.
Johnson himself is a football fan and seeing the Panthers end their losing streak and call Johnson’s brand of tequila was a healthy moment for him, leading Johnson to congratulate him.
