BIG fan din pala si Drake ng Game of Thrones gaya ng karamahin.
Bigla nalang kasing binigyan ng shout out ng 32 taong gulang na rapper ang pangalan ng GoT queen, si Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), habang tinatanggap ang kanyang award para sa Top Billboard 200 Album for Scorpion sa 2019 Billboard Music Awards sa Las Vegas, Nevada, nitong Miyerkules.
"Thank you, this is amazing. I guess I gotta thank everybody who contributed to this project. It was a really lengthy album, so it's a lot of people to mention, but thank you to everybody who gave me their time, their energy, stayed away from their family and friends while we were trying to complete this," sabi niya. "I always had a dream of doing a double album, and I finally did it, so now I'll never do it again."

"And, yeah, thank you to the Billboards, and I need a glass of champagne," sabi pa ni Drake. "And, hey, shout out to Arya Stark for putting in that work last week!"
Sa kabila ng pinagkakaguluhang epic takedown ni Arya sa Night King sa nakalipas na episode ng Game of Thrones, hindi ito ang unang beses na nagpahayag ng pagkagusto sa naturang HBO series si Drake. Sa kanyang 2015 song, ang You & the 6, ay binanggit niya ang pangalan ng show, ayon sa ulat ng Entertainment Tonight.
"I pull the knife out my back and cut they throat with it, momma/ I'm Game of Thrones with it, momma/ I'm Home Alone with it, momma/ I really hate using this tone with you, momma/ I really hate getting aggressive on this phone with you, momma," rap niya.
Samantala, nanguna si Cardi B sa 2019 awarding rites sa 21 nitong nominsyon (kabilang ang top artist), na sinundan ni Drake at Post Malone sa 17 nilang nominasyon bawat isa. Ang iba pang celeb na may ilang nominasyon ay sina Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, Dan + Shay at ang yumaong rapper na si XXXTentacion. May pitong nominasyon naman ang host ngayong taon na si Kelly Clarkson, ayon sa ulat ng Variety.
Si Taylor Swift, na may pinakaraming natanggap na parangalan, ay nakaposisyon para basagin ang kanyang record, kung magpapawagian niya ang award para sa mga kategoryang top female artist at top touring artist.
