On Sunday night, DrizzyĀ accepted theĀ award that only two artists before him have earned: Mariah Carey, who was recognized for dominating the ā90s, and Eminem, who previously took control of the charts in the ā00s.
Drake graciously accepted his award alongside his son, Adonis.
āI want to dedicate this award to my friends, I want to dedicate this award to my longtime collaborators,ā he said during his speech. āI want to dedicate this award to all my peers, all your decisions, and the music you make really does have me tossing and turning at night trying to figure out what I should do next. Thank you to my beautiful family.ā
At that point, Adonis started crying, prompting Drake to say, āI want to dedicate this award to you.ā
