The NAACP Image Awards wrapped this weekend with Usher being honored with the President's Award for Entertainer of the Year. Oprah Winfrey made a surprise appearance to present the honor.

The singer paid tribute to the women in his life.

"They say behind or beside or with every strong man is a stronger woman, and for that I thank my mother and I thank my beautiful wife, Jennifer, for holding me down," he said, before giving a nod to his kids and his late grandmother, Ernestine Carter.
