Drake was honoured at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday with the Artist of the Decade award.

The rapper walked out on stage, but it was his three-year-old son, Adonis, who stole the show.

While the rapper said he's always been "self-conscious about my music" and said he "didn't write a grandiose speech about how to make it work or what it took" because "I don't quite understand it myself", he added: "I just know that I've spent an incalculable amount of hours trying to analyse all the things I did wrong, but tonight for once, I'm sure as hell we did something right."

He then turned to his son, whom he shares with artist Sophie Brussaux, picked him up, and said: "And to you, I want to dedicate this award to you."
