Cardi B continues to trail blaze as she won two solo awards for favorite rap/hip hop artist and favorite song/ hip hop for “Bodak Yellow” and a joint win with Bruno Mars for “Finesse”. Cardi B also lit up the stage bringing tropical vibes to perform the smash hit I like it along with Bad Bunny and J Balvin.
Post Malone debuted a new look on the red carpet with a hair cut. Malone also took away two awards including favorite male artist pop/rock and favorite album for rap/hiphop for beerbongs & bentleys.

Although we had a loss in the music industry with rapper XXXTentacion, he received the award for Favorite soul/R&B album and his mother accepted the award on his behalf. The death of the 20 year old catapulted him to the top of the charts setting a new standard for streaming services after a artist has passed away.
