Canadian rapper, Drake received the Artist of the Decade Award at the Billboard Music Awards 2021 on Sunday, May 23. Drake took the stage with his son Adonis after he was honoured with the prize. He walked onto the stage to accept his prize, his timid Adonis clinging to his leg.
He gave a speech where he talked about his lack of faith in his music. The iconic rapper also said he had always wondered how he could make music better. This, he added, encouraged him to keep creating music.
On the top artists of the 2010s chart, Drake was followed by Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Adele, Ed Sheeran, and Justin Bieber.
Drake is nominated for many awards at Sunday’s BMAs, including Artist of the Decade. He’s up for Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Billboard 200 Artist, Hot 100 Artist, Streaming Song (“Life Is Good”), and Rap Artist. He was named Top Streaming Songs Artist earlier today.
Drake, who has won 28 Billboard Music Awards to date also holds the record for the most Billboard awards, with 12 awards in 2019.

The “Take Care” coroner and Sophie’s son was born on October 11, 2017, making him three years old at the time.
The couple kept Adonis a secret for nearly a year, with Drake revealing the explanation in June of the following year.
In his song ‘Emotionless’, Drake rapped: “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world. I was hiding the world from my kid. From empty souls who just wake up and looked to debate. Until you starin’ at your seed, you can never relate.”
Sophie is a 30-year-old retired porn star from France who now works as an artist. She was first seen with Canadian rapper Drake in January 2017. It was there that they dined together with a group of friends in Amsterdam.
Sophie gave birth to their son in October 2017, about nine months after her photo with Drake was taken.
However, the star was initially doubtful that the baby was his, so he underwent a DNA test, which verified that he is the father.
