Even with this major cosign, Johnson credits his authenticity as the appeal of his videos. He told BuzzFeed News: “Yes, Miss Ava did give me a shoutout and that was a blessing I still cannot believe. Even though we haven’t actually talked, her noticing me is cool enough and I think what connects me with my audience is the natural funny. I really talk an act like this in person so I don’t have to try hard to make people laugh, and I think the audience can sense that.”
