People magazine has named singer John Legend the ‘Sexist Man Alive.’ The Ordinary People singer is the second Black man in consecutive years to win the title; last year actor Idris Elba won. “I was excited, but I was a little scared at the same time because it’s a lot of pressure…Everyone’s going to be picking me apart to see if I’m sexy enough to hold this title. I’m [also] following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me! he told People magazine.
His wife Chrissy Teigen congratulated him by posting the cover of the magazine on social media

John Legend stated that “I’m so proud that I have a wife and two kids I’m so in love with and so connected to. I’m also so proud of my career,” he said. “I love writing songs and performing on stage. I get a lot of joy from it and give a lot of joy to other people. I’m pretty at ease with myself now!”
