Additional honorees at the event included Jermaine Dupri, Jason Flom and Jesse Collins.
Hosted by Kenny Burns, the gala began with a mission statement. “Tonight we gather to pay tribute to the remarkable individuals who have utilized their platforms, resources and influences, to propel the fight for social and racial justice through intentional and impactful action,” said Burns. “However, let’s be clear: everyone in this room tonight bears a responsibility of being a change agent.
“Last night, I was in D.C. with ASCAP and I was at the Library of Congress, because I don’t fuck with A.I.— I think A.I. has taken the emotion out of music. The emotion that everybody had when they came up on stage and talked about their awards and how they feel, you can get that in A.I.
