Cardi B made history
Rap singer Cardi B became the first woman who won the best rap album (Invasion of Privacy).
“I can’t breath. Oh my goodness. The nerves are so bad!” Cardi tried to hold back tears, “Maybe I need start smoking weed.”
“I want to thank my daughter. I’m not just saying thank you because she’s my daughter, it’s because when I found out I was pregnant, my album was not complete.”
“We were like, ‘We have to get this album done so I could still do videos while I’m still not showing. And it was very long nights,” she added.
She also thanked Offset for supporting her during the pregnancy: “You husband, thank you. Seriously, he was like, ‘You want to do this album, girl. You’re going to have this baby and we’re going to make this album.”

Lady Gaga won three prizes
The iconic singer won best pop performance for Joanne and best pop duet for Shallow.
In her acceptance speech, she thanked Bradley Cooper and talked about mental health issues.
“If I don’t get another chance to say this, I just want to say I’m so proud to be a part of a movie that addresses mental health issues. They’re so important. A lot of artists deal with that. And we gotta take care of each other. So if you see somebody that’s hurting, don’t look away.
“And if you’re hurting, even though it might be hard, try to find that bravery within yourself to dive deep and go tell somebody and take them up in your head with you. I love you, thank you so much.”
