The Stellar Awards lit up, and one name dominated the night: Pastor Mike Jr.
The Birmingham pastor and gospel powerhouse made history, winning in all nine categories in which he was nominated.
Most notably, he secured Artist of the Year for a record-setting fourth time, pulling ahead of gospel greats Kirk Franklin and Marvin Sapp, who have each won the honor three times.
With this achievement, Pastor Mike Jr. cements his place as the top winner in the history of the category.
For the brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi , this victory carries a special shine. Pastor Mike Jr., who pledged Kappa Alpha Psi at 17, continues to represent the bond and brotherhood with excellence on one of gospel’s biggest stages.
