Billboard Music Awards 2022: See the full list of winners
The 2022 edition of the Billboard Music Awards has been garnering a lot of attention even before the ceremony because of the organisers’ decision to provide a platform to artists such as Travis Scott and Morgan Wallen despite their past debacles. After the event, most of the conversation has been dominated by the big winners.
“To have Morgan and Travis be able to come back and touch the stage again with the mindset of getting a second chance at life,” Diddy said. “Everybody in the room is getting a second chance at life, you know, because we’re back outside with no masks on. We need love and I’m excited about celebrating that.”
This year, Olivia Rodrigo made a big splash by becoming the winner with the most number of accolades – seven. Kanye West came pretty close with six awards while Doja Cat also ended up making a significant mark on the event winning in four categories such as Top R&B Female Artist and Top R&B Album.
