Superstar Janet Damita Jo Jackson has thrilled audiences around the world. Most recently, Ms. Jackson was on hand to present Blige with the 2022 Billboard Icon Award, an award she herself received in 2018.

When Blige then walked out to deliver her own speech, she returned the love, telling Jackson: “Speaking of icons, you were always one of our biggest inspirations growing up.”

As the tenth and youngest child of the Jackson family, she began her career performing at the MGM Grand.
