Mary J. Blige and her hubby Kendu Isaacs were picture perfect as they posed on the red carpet of VIBE’s 1st annual Impact Awards held during the 55th Annual Grammy Awards weekend (February 8, 2013).
Blige was honored at the event, which was held at Los Angeles’ Sunset Tower Hotel and several of her famous music industry friends and supporters came out to toast the queen of hip-hop soul at the pre-Grammy awards show.
Attendees included, Sean “Diddy” Combs, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Babyface Edmonds, Jermaine Dupri, Too $hort, Andrea Kelly, Swizz Beatz, Big Sean, Kurruche Tran and more.
Bu Thiam and his boo Tracey Ellis-Ross breezed through, as well as new couple Ciara and Future…

Michelle u look good ! Why was Karruche even their with her date that looks as if he was trying to swagger jack Chris look a few years ago lol ,She trying I mean she trying . Karruche what do u do ? I guess she’s going to be another Amber Rose and ride it on out of just being a piece of azz that was smashed by an entertainer and hopefully she’ll get up on a real meal ticket to stay in that life.
Oh and Karruche stop letting yer dates wear Chris’s Shirt and hat.He looks as if he’s going to pop out of that shirt. and plus that shirt looks as if it is faded and not properly cleaned right instead of dry cleaned it was washed in hot water and faded plus shrunk !
