At the 2016 Billboard Music Awards last night, a couple of rappers won big and none bigger than Philly’s own Meek Mill.
Although the rapper’s feud with Drake seemed to have made his fans run into hiding, last night’s win over the Canadian rapper seems to have brought them right out of their holes.
True to type, Twitter was set ablaze once more with fans asking how Meek won the award over Kendrick, Drake, J. Cole and others.
Check out the tweets…
If more than 1 big artist is competing in an award category, it splits the vote & the underdog ends up winning. That’s how Meek Mill won.
