Singer Mary J. Blige performs onstage at the (Belvedere) RED Pre-Grammys Party with Mary J Blige held at Avalon on February 9, 2012 in Hollywood, California.

The 41-year-old Queen of Hip-Hop Soul sang several of her most famous songs including “No More Drama” and “Family Affair” at the Avalon nightclub on Thursday night to support the (RED) campaign that raises money to fight AIDS and HIV. She has supported the charity for years.

The singer, who has more than a half-dozen multiplatinum albums, gave a few emotional speeches where she talked about the importance of giving back. Mary J Blige said: “I’m delighted to be supporting (Belvedere) RED in their fight against HIV & AIDS in Africa. It is one of the most devastating issues faced by millions in Africa and if we can raise awareness with this event and encourage people to buy (PRODUCT) RED, we’ll be one step closer to an HIV / AIDS free generation in 2015.”
