Mary J. Blige, the Queen of hip-hop soul, hit the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Congress Heights, delivering a memorable performance for the venue’s grand opening weekend.
The Grammy Award winning, double Oscar nominee, sang in front of a sold-out audience, which included D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
