he Billboard Music Awards took over the
airwaves last night. This year’s Billboard Music Awards was held on 21st
of May, 2017 at the T-mobile Arena in Las Vegas with an enchanting performance
by legendary and ageless singer Celine Dion, who performed her all time
masterpiece “MY HEART WILL GO ON” in memory of her husband and brother who both
died in 2016 and the 20th anniversary of Titanic.
The music award is based on key fan
interactions with music, as well as streaming, radio airplay, album and digital
song sales, touring and social engagement.
Drake stole the spotlight, winning 13
awards from his 22 nominations surpassing Adele who won 12 awards at the show
in 2012. With his winning, he beat the likes of Rihanna, Beyoncé, Justin
Bieber, Adele, and the Chainsmokers who were major contenders.
One Dance, Drake’s collaboration with our
very own starboy, Wizkid and Kyla won three awards at the show: Top R&B
Song, Top R&B Collaboration and Top Streaming Song- making Wizkid the first
African to ever win a Billboard Award.
There have been controversial comments
circulating the media concerning Wizkid’s collaboration with Drake. Comments
are saying the starboy didn’t win at the billboard as he isn’t the owner of the
song which won the award.
According to multiple award winning On Air
Personality with the Beat99.9fm Wizkid has no claim to the award but mere
credit by virtue of his contribution to the song as the song belongs to Drake.
If this be the case, why then was his name listed on the nomination list?
Apparently, the nominations won’t be complete with the full description of the
songs.
What is your opinion on this turn of event
as his fans are feeling their star is been disrespected by those saying his not
a winner especially with the fact that he is the first African to ever win at
the Billboard Music Awards?
