John Legend to receive inaugural Global Impact Award at Recording Academy gala

John Legend has to make room on his trophy shelf for another major honor.

The EGOT recipient will be honored with the Recording Academy’s first-ever Global Impact Award during a Black Music Collective event during Grammy week.

The invite-only event will take place at Resorts World Las Vegas on April 2, ahead of the 64th Grammy ceremony Sunday.

DJ D-Nice will provide music throughout the night, while Summer Walker is set to perform and veteran rapper MC Lyte will host the celebration of Legend, his career achievements and his charitable efforts.

Legend, whose given name is John Roger Stephens, already has won 12 Grammys out of 33 nominations from the nonprofit organization that produces the coveted music awards.

“It is our distinct honor to celebrate John Legend as the inaugural recipient of the Recording Academy Honors’ Global Impact Award,” Recording Academy co-president Valeisha Butterfield Jones, said in Monday’s announcement. “John is one of the most important artists of our time, someone who leads by example and pushes important boundaries consistently across music, philanthropy and activism. His contributions and impact to music and our culture are unparalleled.”
