Mary J. Blige was inducted into the Apollo Theater’s legendary Walk of Fame on Friday.

At 50 years old, The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is the youngest living artist to be honored with a spot on the Walk of Fame. “Miss Blige is more than the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, she is a multitalented artist who has paved the way for many of the artists we see today,” Apollo executive Kamilah Forbes told the waves of fans waiting outside the theater to pay homage to the R&B crooner. “None of this is possible without the fans,” Blige said. “So thank you to all the fans.”
