Record breaker Drake was all about showing love and publicly mending fences during his Billboard Music Award acceptance speech. Plus, he killed his performance. INSIDE the Bellagio Fountains.
Get it all inside…
Drake sure knows how to keep us talking.
He’s racking up a slew of trophies at the 2017 Billboard Awards, sweeping up 13 awards. The Canadian rapper BEAT Adele's record for most wins in a single night at the BBMAs.
The Young Money rapper won 10 awards in the early non-televised award announcements and 3 more during the telecast, including Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album and Top Artist. While accepting the Top Billboard 200 album for VIEWS, he gave props to Ludacris, telling him he had mad respect for him even though they didn’t see eye-to-eye at one point in time.
You’ll recall, Luda said in a previous interview Drizzy had apologized to him and there was no beef between them. Apparently, Luda was smashing one of Drizzy's ex-chicks and he felt some type of way about it.
Drake had to make it publicly known that everything was all good between them. That was nice of him.
Drake showed love to his labelmate Nicki Minaj, whom he previously had a mini feud with. He said he’s "so glad we found our way back" and he thanked Young Money honcho Lil Wayne for giving him a chance. He also put on his charm, telling co-host Vanessa Hudgens she looks "incredible."

By the way:
No time wasted.
Switching locations, Drizzy left the T-Mobile Arena and trekked it to the middle of the Bellagio Fountains to perform "Gyalchester." The fire and waterworks made for a litty set.
Peep his bomb performance below:
In the audience...
Drake, Wayne Nicki and Mack Maine were all smiles snapping up selfies.
