The 2016 Billboard Music Awards went down at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas last night.
R&B crooner The Weeknd was the reigning king of the BBMAs and he “Earned It!” The Toronto native won a whooping 8 awards, including Top R&B Song, Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Album, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Song Sales Artist, Top Radio Songs Artist, Top Streaming Songs Artist, and Top Streaming Song (Audio).
Surprisingly, rapper Meek Mill beat his nemesis Drake for Top Rap Album. Of course, Meek wasn’t able to accept his award because he’s still in Philly serving his house arrest sentence. But, Drake did cop an award for Top Rap Artist.
Thanks to the NAVY, Rihanna copped the fan-voted Billboard Chart Achievement Award.
Wiz Khalifa went home with two awards, Top Rap Song and Top Hot 100 Song for his hit track “See You Again” featuring Charlie Puth. Patterson native Fetty Wap won the Top New Artist award.
Gospel singer Kirk Franklin won three awards in the Top Gospel Artist, Top Gospel Song and Top Gospel Album. And Silento won the Top Streaming Song (Video) Award for the hit dance track “Watch Me.”
