Mary J. Blige is now an Apollo Legend.
The nine-time Grammy-winning singer and music icon celebrated her induction into the historic theater’s Walk of Fame on Friday in New York City.
The Twitter account for the Apollo Theater celebrated Blige in a series of tweets on Friday.
The Apollo Theater, a staple in New York City with a rich history of highlighting and celebrating Black artists and performers since the 1930s, began the installation of its Walk of Fame with plaques honoring famous entertainers in 2010.
Prior to her induction into Apollo’s Walk of Fame, Blige received an abundance of love from her fans when she celebrated her 50th birthday in January.
