Blige was visibly emotional as she took the mic, sharing that The Breakthrough proved her talents while also showing her growth as a person. "Tonight, we celebrate the better human being [I've become], because for so many years, I had been talked about negatively, but this time, I’ve been talked about positively by so many people."
She closed things out by thanking every single person that helped her grow along the way, from her husband to co-producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Revisit her heartfelt speech above, and head to GRAMMY.com/videos for more episodes of GRAMMY Rewind.
