Mother's Day is in a couple weeks, but Drake gave his mom an early gift with a heartfelt speech at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, where the rap star also broke Taylor Swift's record for most wins.
Drake turned up the love for his mom when he picked up top artist, besting Cardi B, Ariana Grande, Post Malone and Travis Scott. He won 12 awards Wednesday in Las Vegas, making his career total 27 .
Family bonding was a theme at the three-hour show, which aired live on NBC and was hosted by Kelly Clarkson "Without getting into all the drama, all the ups and downs of my career ... I guess I always felt like an outsider, someone who doesn't quite belong anywhere, and I still feel like that lost interracial child who had a lot of nerve to believe I could succeed at anything at all in this world. But, and this is the truth, I did believe because I had to," she said. "The truth is I dedicated my life to my music -- my saving grace -- and to my fans.
Drake and Cardi B -- who both won multiple awards during the live telecast -- used their speeches to promote love and appreciation for their peers in the music industry. Swift kicked off the show when she brought her new music video to life with a colorful, eye-popping performance of her song "ME!" Dancers wearing bright, pastel colours spun in the air holding umbrellas and a marching band kicked off Swift's performance -- like most of the world, maybe she was inspired by Beyonce's new Coachella film?
