The acclaimed R&B singer expressed gratitude for his three-decade-long successful career, citing recent milestones such as a sold-out residency in Las Vegas, marriage, the release of his ninth studio album 'Coming Home,' and a record-breaking Super Bowl halftime performance.
Usher's win was a highlight of the evening, where he bested other talented nominees including Colman Domingo, Fantasia Barrino, Halle Bailey, and Keke Palmer. The award was presented to him by the iconic Oprah Winfrey, adding to the significance of the moment.
