John Legend won a Tony Award last night taking him one step closer to reaching that EGOT status. Get the deets on his win and see the YBF stars work the red carpet inside…
Issa win for John Legend!
Last night, the R&B crooner won a Tony Award as a producer of the play revival “Jitney” at Radio City Hall in NYC during this year’s Tony Awards ceremony. The win brings the musician one step closer to the coveted EGOT status.
The “All Of Me” singer has won 10 Grammys and he won an Oscar alongside Common two years for co-writing the Best Original Song winner “Glory” from the SELMA soundtrack. Now, all he need is an EMMY to reach EGOT. Nice!
Congrats John!
