Drake walked away with two awards at this weekend’s anticipated Juno Awards in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada. Entering the ceremony on the strength of four nominations, including a nod for single of the year, and an anticipated performance, Drake wowed audiences by taking the stage for a performance with fellow nominee, Justin Bieber. Unfortunately for Bieber, that performance ended up being his only highlight as Drake stole the show with wins for Best New Artist and Rap Recording of the Year. As previously reported, Melanie Fiona was also nominated for a Juno Award along with Michael Buble’, who won Artist of the Year. Drake’s forthcoming album, “Thank Me Later,” is due in stores June 15.
It was a night of celebration for hip-hop artist Drake as he took home an impressive four Juno Awards at the 43rd annual ceremony. The multi-Grammy winning rapper’s achievements have been recognized yet again and his fans couldn’t be happier.
The Toronto native won all four awards that he was nominated in, including Album of the Year, Rap Recording of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year. This marks only the second time ever that one person has taken home such an unprecedented number of wins in a single year—the first being singer/songwriter Shania Twain back in 1997.
Drake has certainly had a successful career thus far and these latest accolades are proof that there is no stopping him anytime soon. With this accomplishment under his belt, it will surely inspire future generations to reach for their dreams.
