On Sunday, rapper&nbsp;Drake was honoured with the Artist of the Decade Award at the Billboard Music Awards 2021. Drake went up on stage to accept the award with this three year old son Adonis.&nbsp; 
 
Wearing red flannel and braids, Adonis held onto Drake`s BBMA trophy as Drake began his acceptance speech. Throughout his speech, Drake grabbed onto his son`s shoulder as fans watched in awe.&nbsp; 
 
The Canadian rapper follows in the footsteps of Mariah Carey (1990s) and Eminem (2000s) by taking home the special award for the 2010s decade.

Accepting the award Drake said, "I want to dedicate this award to my friends, I want to dedicate this award to my longtime collaborators. I want to dedicate this award to all my peers, all your decisions, and the music you make really does have me tossing and turning at night trying to figure out what I should do next. Thank you to my beautiful family." 
 
The three year old, perhaps intimidated looking at the crowd, burst into tears as Drake finished his speech. The rapper picked his son up and brought him close to the microphone. "I want to dedicate this award to you," Drake said with a laugh.

Adonis` attendance at the awards show ceremony marked a rare appearance made by the toddler, whom Drake shares with artist and former adult film star Sophie Brussaux. 
 
Last May, Drake opened up about his decision to introduce his son on Instagram, when he joined Lil Wayne for an episode of `Young Money Radio with Lil Wayne on Apple Music`. During the conversation, Drake shared that posting photos of Adonis on social media was not a move he had planned. 
 
"It was great for me. It was great to just share that with the world," the artist said of his Instagram post that was shared at the end of March 2020.

He further added, "I just woke up one morning and I was like, you know what? This is just something that I want to do." 
At the time, it was the first time Drake had ever revealed photos of his son.&nbsp;

Before this he had only &nbsp;posted glimpses into his life as a dad, sharing photos of his son`s artwork, Father`s Day gifts and birthday party decorations, but never any photos of Adonis.

Billboard`s Artist of the Decade award is based upon the "activity on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and the Billboard 200 albums tally, as well as social media data and touring revenue from Billboard Boxscore, from Dec. 5, 2009, through Sept. 28, 2019," as per a press release from Billboard. 
 
Drake, who is the most awarded artist in the show`s history, has scored eight No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and garnered an impressive nine No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, the latter being the most of any artist over the past decade. 
Drake is the only solo male artist to have over 50 career weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and a record 232 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with 45 of the songs being top 10s. 
 
This year`s awards show was based on chart data from March 21, 2020, through April 3, 2021, with winners based on "key fan interactions with music," including song sales, streaming and social engagement.&nbsp;

BBMAs 2021: Cue the awws! Drake dedicates Artist of the Decade award to little son Adonis

Morgan Wallen won three Billboard Music Awards at this year’s ceremony even after his name cropped up in a major controversy when he was caught saying a racial slur.&nbsp;

Morgan Wallen was awarded for ‘Dangerous: The Double Album’ as he took home Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist and Top Country Album at this year’s BBMAs.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/the-weeknd-named-top-artist-at-billboard-music-awards-full-winners-list-387039">The Weeknd named Top Artist at Billboard Music Awards</a>

While making the announcement at Billboard Music Awards 2021, the organization said, “Morgan Wallen is a finalist this year based on charting. As his recent conduct does not align with our core values, we will not be including him on the show in any capacity (performing, presenting, accepting). It is heartening and encouraging to hear that Morgan is taking steps in his anti-racist journey and starting to do some meaningful work. We plan to evaluate his progress and will consider his participation in future shows.”

Earlier, Morgan Wallen had been heard saying, “Take care of this p**** ass n*****” and “take care of this p**** ass mother******” after which he issued an apology and said he was “embarrassed and sorry” for what happened. He had added, “I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bbmas-2021-cue-the-awws-drake-dedicates-artist-of-the-decade-award-to-little-son-adonis-387047" hreflang="en">BBMAs: Drake takes son Adonis on stage to accept Artist of the Decade award</a>
