Followed by Drake in third place, the Canadian rapper managed to win five awards at this year’s BBMAs. Drake won the categories for Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Rap Artist, Top Rap Male Artist, and Top Rap Album. However, adding five more trophies this year, Drake is still the musician with the most BBMAs awards in history.
