Blige, who knows a thing or two about a “Family Affair,” joined Diddy’s eldest daughter, Chance, in announcing the icon’s big honor. His other children were there, too, including son King — who subbed for rapper Mase on “Mo Money, Mo Problems” — and twins D’Lila and Jessie, who backed up their dad’s choreographed dance moves.
