Drake Sweeps Hip Hop Categories At 2016 American Music Awards

We knew Drake was taking home at least one trophy at the 2016 American Music Awards held yesterday (November 20) when he was given a record 13 nominations. And he did, in fact, win a decent amount of the awards.

Drizzy swept the Hip Hop categories, winning Favorite Artist, Favorite Album with VIEWS and Favorite Song with “Hotline Bling.” He also won Favorite Soul/R&B Song with Rihanna for “Work.” Justin Bieber snagged the Pop/Rock awards from his fellow Canadian.

Rihanna had similar success as her rumored beau in the Soul/R&B category, taking home the awards for Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Album for Anti. Chris Brown was named Favorite Male Artist for the genre.

Beyoncé was crowned with Tour of the Year and Ty Dolla $ign won the award for Collaboration of the Year with Fifth Harmony for “Work From Home.”

Awards season continues with the Soul Train Awards next week and the People’s Choice Awards in January with the Grammys coming in February.
