The 51-year-old Blige gushed over the honor in a statement earlier this month.

“My career has been such an incredible and unexpected journey that has included many turns into avenues I never could have imagined like acting, producing, launching businesses, and now even my own music festival,” she said. 

“Through it all, I always one way or another gravitated back to my first love, music,” the “Be Without You” crooner added, “To be recognized in this way at this moment, with the Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards, is an incredible honor and one that I am truly humbled by.”

The Weeknd is the top finalist for the second year in a row and is up for 17 awards. The “Save Your Tears” and “Starboy” singer scored nods in the top artist, top 100 artist and top streaming songs artist categories. Doja Cat comes in a close second with 14 nominations.
