Drake stole the show at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in more ways than one, taking home 13 honors, surpassing Adele's mark as the artist with the most BBMA wins in one night.
Adele won 12 Billboard Music Awards in 2012.
Drake went into the event at Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena with 22 nominations, which tied him with The Chainsmokers for the most nominations in a single year.
Drake brought his father, Nicki Minaj and many others onstage with him to accept his record-breaking award.
His wins included the prestigious Top Artist prize, which he won over Beyoncé, Adele and Rihanna, and Top Streaming Song (Audio) for his smash hit ‘One Dance’.
Drake was handed his Top Artist prize by
Prince Jackson, son of the late Michael Jackson. “I got my whole family
up here,” Drake said as he was joined on stage by his father, Nicki
Minaj, and Lil Wayne, among others.
Drake sealed a stellar evening by
performing ‘Gyalchester’ in the famous fountains of Las Vegas’s Bellagio
Hotel. Other performances on the night came from Lorde, Ed Sheeran,
Bruno Mars, Imagine Dragons, Nicki Minaj and Cher, who won the Icon
award for lifetime achievement.
