Drake dominates Billboard Music Awards

Rapper-singer Drake took home 13 honours, surpassing Grammy winner Adele’s mark as the artiste with the most Billboard Music Awards wins in one night.
“It’s crazy that we’re all here on earth for a limited amount of time, and we gotta show love while we’re here,” he said on stage, reports billboard.com.
He even praised actress Vanessa Hudgens. “Vanessa Hudgens, you look incredible tonight.”
Hudgens acknowledged that shortly afterward by asking if she was on the invite list for Drake’s afterparty.
Drake won Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist and Top Rap Artist, and took home awards for song sales, song streams and several rap and R&B categories.

The evening’s final honour, Top Artist, also went to him that helped him to overtake Adele’s previous record of 12 in 2012.
“Life is like toilet paper,” he said while accepting his final award. “Either you’re on a roll, or taking sh** from a******s.”
