Drake’s son Adonis made a surprise appearance at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards, joining his father on stage as he won an artist of the decade prize.
The rapper, 34, gripped his son’s shoulder throughout his speech, before hoisting him into the air and saying: “I want to dedicate this award to you.”
The three-year-old burst into tears and left the stage clinging to his father’s leg.
Meanwhile, The Weeknd was the night’s big winner, taking home 10 awards.
Among his prizes were best Artists, top Hot 100 album for After Hours, and top Hot 100 song for Blinding Lights.
The star, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, doubled his career total of Billboard Music Awards, having previously received nine trophies.
Korean pop band BTS also picked up four prizes, winning best group for the second time in three years; and top social artist for the fifth consecutive year.
The band is now just one year short of equalling Justin Bieber’s six-year hold on the social award from 2011- 2016.
Here are some of the other highlights and talking points from the show.
Best rock artist winner Machine Gun Kelly arrived at the ceremony with a rather unusual oral condition: A jet-black tongue. Had he gone overboard with the charcoal toothpaste? Developed a crippling licorice habit? Been cursed by an evil dentist?
Sadly not. A visit to his Instagram reveals that the musician had someone paint his tongue carefully with a cotton bud.
On the red carpet, he made sure everyone noticed, sticking his tongue out for fans, sticking his tongue out for the cameras, and (hold your stomachs) touching tongues with his girlfriend, Megan Fox.
His reasons are still unclear. Is it a reference to The Rolling Stones Paint It Black? Or is he simply a big fan of giraffes? We may never know.
Pink accepted the Icon Award from rock star Bon Jovi , and confessed she’d been obsessed with the star when she was eight – locking herself in her bedroom for a week after he got married.
“I’m very glad you found lasting love, Jon, but you broke my heart. I take this as an apology,” she laughed, indicating her trophy.
To celebrate her prize, the star performed a career-spanning medley of hits, including Who Know, Get The Party Started, and Just Give Me A Reason.
But the highlight was a breathtaking aerial acrobatic routine, performed with her nine-year-old daughter Willow, set to their duet Cover Me In Sunshine.
