Sunday night the 2022 Billboard Music Awards went down in Las Vegas and there were a lot of memorable moments that happened during the show. One main topic of discussion from that night was Doja Cat, who walked away with a total of four awards, most of which were in the R&B category. Many fans have been debating on whether Doja should be considered an R&B artist, or Pop artist following her wins.
As we previously reported, Summer Walker’s boyfriend Larry shared a few words during the show as he advocated why Summer was deserving of winning for her latest album “Still Over It.”
He said, “Billboard explain to me how a Pop artist, Doja Cat, wins 2 R&B categories???? And she has 1 R&B song ever?? Billboard numbers don’t lie, how did she win? As I recall ‘Still Over It,” topped Beyoncé ‘Lemonade’ TWICE. How did Summer Walker not win any R&B women categories…I’ll wait.”
Summer later took to her Instagram story to congratulate Doja Cat on her three R&B Billboard Music Awards, and then says maybe she needs to work harder.
“Well this was an interesting night,” said Summer. “Congrats to everyone, but not 1 R&B win…Hmmm…Guess I just need to work harder lol…Larry come break my heart.”
Summer, who was sitting in the studio at the time, then proceeded to play a snippet of a song she has with Jacquees.
As previously reported, last November, Summer’s highly anticipated sophomore album “Still Over It,” earned the biggest 24-hour debut by a female artist of all time on Apple Music. The album also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s 200 Chart and also No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. Doja’s album “Planet Her,” also debuted at No. 1 on both charts following its release.
