As reported, R&B diva Brandy was the recipient of the 2026 Black Icon Award at the fourth annual Black Music Collective Recording Academy Honors on Thursday night (January 29).
Held at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles as part of GRAMMY Week, the event saw the award-winning actress-singer bestowed the prestigious trophy by Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. for over 30 years of “artistry, innovation and service that has shaped the industry and inspired generations around the world.”
Per usual, the honor was accompanied by a star-studded tribute which – in this case – saw toasts raised to Bran courtesy of rocking performances of FLO, Coco Jones, and Kehlani singing ‘The Boy Is Mine,’ ‘Full Moon,’ and ‘I Wanna Be Down’ respectively.
