took the stage to present her with the Lifetime Achievement Award, where she said the singer "changed the game with her unique sound and that Mary J. Blige style."
She later told her fans,"Words cannot express what your support means to me." Blige also briefly touched upon her spirituality, saying,"Although I'm a leader, a queen, a living legend... Although I'm all these things, I'm a servant as well and I'm here to serve. Being a servant is not always glamorous or popular, but it's the job and the assignment that I was given. Because in order to become an authority, I had to come under authority.
"It means so much to me, I mean...to be alive, to have lived through so much," she said while talking about the award. "A lot of times didn't think we were gonna make it but I'm here, you know, I worked hard… I had some triumphs. I had some trials. But my fans have been there the whole time, so I'm here to celebrate all of us."
