Drake
The surprise of the night came from Drake, who actually showed up to the ceremony to accept the Grammy for Best Rap Song for “God’s Plan.” Unfortunately, the rapper’s speech was cut short when he told aspiring musicians, “you don’t need this right here, I promise you, you’ve already won.”

Cardi B
Cardi made history as the first female solo artist in Grammys history to win Best Rap Album, earning the award for Invasion of Privacy. This also marked only the second time a woman has won the award. Lauryn Hill took home the trophy in 1997 as a member of The Fugees.
