Common

Celebrity

There are only 17 artists who have earned the EGOT title for their impressive works, and these first-time Emmy winners are only a Tony award away from achieving such a prestigious status.

AceShowbiz - With an Emmy, an Oscar and a Grammy under his belt, Common is just a Tony away from being one of the artists to earn an EGOT. The rapper, music composer and producer first won a Grammy in 2003 for his 2002 collaboration with Erykah Badu titled "Love of My Life".

Then in 2015, Common veered into Oscar territory when he sealed a trophy for "Glory" with John Legend. In 2017, the 50-year-old star became the very first rapper to win an Emmy, Grammy and Oscar after he notched an Emmy for his socially conscious track "Letter to the Free".
