Pop singer, Janet Jackson, was honored with a prestigious Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards, which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 20, 2018.

The award was presented by singer Bruno Mars, who knelt before the pop star to present the award to her, as she became the first ever black woman to receive the Billboard Icon Award in recognition of her long career.

“The name ‘Jackson’ represents artistic genius and iconic performance,” Bruno said while presenting the award. “The Jacksons are music royalty and the first family of entertainment…She is an activist… She’s a humanitarian. She’s a powerful woman. And she is the first black woman to receive the Billboard Icon Award.”

During her acceptance speech, Janet thanked the audience and made reference to the Me Too movement.
