Drake made Billboard Music Awards history by becoming the most awarded person at the awards show in a single night. He won 13 honors! Passing Adele! Let’s get a round of applause for Aubrey.
The rapper was initially nominated in 22 categories. But, before the show even started, we already learned that he won 10. These wins were in the categories of Top Rap Artist, Top Rap Album, Top Rap Tour, Top R&B Song, Top R&B Collaboration, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Streaming Song (Audio), Top Song Sales Artist and Top Streaming Songs Artist.
He only needed to win three more awards in order to go down in the award show’s history, which he did. It all came down to the last award of the night, which was the Top Artist honor. Michael Jackson’s eldest son, Prince Michael Jackson, presented the honor. After the nominees were announced, Prince proudly announced that Drake was the winner and the rest was Billboard history.
Shoutout to you, Drake. This is why he’s a favorite. Watch his acceptance speech/victory lap below.
