The Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame—a new endeavor started by the Georgia Entertainment Caucus and the Black American Music Association—inducted its first honorees with plaques displayed outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Beyoncé, OutKast, Missy Elliott, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Sean Combs, Usher, Shirley Caesar, and Kirk Franklin are members of the inaugural class.

A few artists were on hand at yesterday’s ceremony at the stadium. Beyoncé’s induction was accepted by Michael Mauldin, former president of Columbia Records.

With almost no tours having been undertaken in the past year, the Pollstar Awards pivoted in two different directions for the 31st annual edition of the show held Wednesday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel ballroom. One shift in focus was to deliver awards to the top touring artists of the last decade, instead of the year, in different genres. Another was to give out possibly one-time-only awards that were specific to 2020-21, but focus on artists and execs who were innovators, either in finding different ways to perform live or who made a difference philanthropically.

Beyonce won as the top touring artist of the decade. Rob Light, CAA’s head of music, accepted on her behalf and read a statement from the singer in which she wrote, “2020 has taught all of us that the touring community needs to be cherished and is the backbone of our industry.” Beyond thanking a list of cohorts that included Jay-Z, “my ride-or-die,” she gave a shout-out to her ticket-buying fans: “You sing all the choruses, you go hard on the choreo, and I see you every night.”

It's a Destiny's Child reunion!

Michelle Williams shared several never-before-heard recordings of her past "group chats" with Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland on Wednesday to celebrate the recent release of her new book Checking In, which documented her personal mental health journey.

True to the memoir's title, each audio clip featured Williams, 41, "checking in" on her bandmates as they discussed their lives.

"Look who checked in yesterday with me!! The only time we'll let y'all eavesdrop on our group chats!! 😂," Williams captioned one clip, in which the author told Beyoncé, 39, and Rowland, 40, that she "just wanted to check in and see what's going on."

"Oh, we love and miss you so much," Beyoncé replied in the recording. "We're so proud of you, Mimi! You are so inspirational for both of us — and we just love watching you become exactly who you are and the world see your impact, wisdom and beautiful advice."

"Amen!" Rowland added.

Beyonce posted birthday messages for Lauryn Hill, Lenny Kravitz and Sally Ride.
