Mary J. Blige is undefeated in 2022.

The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at last night’s fifth and final round of 53rd NAACP Image Awards winners in the non-televised award categories. 

Blige’s portrayal as Monet Tejada, a Queens, New York, queenpin in Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost, took home the award against Alfre Woodard (See), Bianca Lawson (Queen Sugar), Chandra Wilson (Grey’s Anatomy), and Susan Kelechi Watson (This is Us).

It’s the second year Blige won the award. Last year, she picked up a win for this same role. 

Earlier this week, Jazmine Sullivan, Silk Sonic, and Anthony Hamilton were announced as winners in the music categories. 

Sullivan, who recently tested positive for Covid and postponed Heaux Tales Tour dates, took home three trophies, including Outstanding Album for Heaux Tales. 

Getting back to Blige, she is scheduled to perform live at the NAACP Image Awards tonight at 8 p.m. EST on BET. 

Blige is expected to give her first televised performance of new material from her 15th studio album, Good Morning Gorgeous. 

Recently, the album debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard 200. As for the title track itself, it made its inaugural appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 83.

The D’Mile-produced track marked Blige’s first entry on this chart since 2012’s “Mr. Wrong” featuring Drake, peaked at No. 87. 

The album’s lead single, also co-produced by H.E.R., netted Blige’s seventh number-one single at Adult R&B. 

Earlier this month, Blige performed the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar. 

Blige is set to headline the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in June. But before that, on March 12, she takes the stage as the top bill at Jazz In The Gardens in Miami.
