Drake has surpassed Adele‘s record at the 2017
Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, picking up 13 awards.
Adele
set a record at the show in 2012 with 12 wins. The rapper, who walked into the
show Sunday with 22 nominations, won top artist, top male artist and top
Billboard 200 album (Views), among others, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las
Vegas.
‘I got my whole family up here,’ said Drake, who
stood onstage with nearly two dozen people, including his father, Lil
Wayne and Nicki Minaj.
Drake
was presented the top artist award by Prince Jackson, the late Michael
Jackson‘s eldest son.
The Canadian rapper beat out Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Adele, Ariana
Grande, The Weeknd, Twenty One Pilots, Shawn Mendes and The
Chainsmokers for the top prize.
Of
those nominees, only Drake and The Chainsmokers attended the Billboard Awards.
‘One Dance’, his collaboration with
Nigerian pop star Wizkid won
three awards on the night: Top Streaming Song, Top R&B Song and Top R&B
Collaboration – making Wizkid the first African to ever win a Billboard Award.
