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.
