The annual Billboard Music Awards were held in Las Vegas on Sunday (15 May) to recognise and celebrate the music industry’s most chart-topping artists.

The ceremony, which was hosted by rapper P Diddy, saw Drake, Kanye West, and Olivia Rodrigo bagging the night’s top awards.

While Rodrigo won New Artist, Hot 100 Artist, Streaming Songs Artist, Radio Songs Artist, Billboard Global 200 Artist, Billboard 200 Album, and Top Female Artist awards, the Certified Lover Boy singer Drake won five categories, including Top Artist, Top Male Artist, and Top Rap Artist.

West, who legally changed his name to Ye last year, secured all the night’s gospel-related awards including Christian and Gospel Artist, Christian and Gospel Album, as well as Christian and Gospel Song.

Other music artists who won multiple BBMAs are Doja Cat, Bad Bunny, and Taylor Swift.

The ceremony which was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, also saw performances from controversial music artists such as Travis Scott and Morgan Wallen after Diddy announced that his mission for the night is to “uncancel the cancelled”.
