Drake broke records at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, but his back and forth with Nicki Minaj may have been the highlight of the night.
Accepting 13 awards means spending a lot of time giving speeches. While accepting the Top Billboard 200 Album Award, Drake looked at host Vanessa Hudgens and said, “I wanna say that, Vanessa Hudgens, you look incredible tonight.” The audience cheered, but Nicki wasn't having it, as the camera cut to her jokingly shouting, “What about me?”
Drake made sure not to forget Nicki later, though. “I'm so glad we found our way back because I love you, and I could never, ever, ever see it any other way,” he said.
When he went up to accept the Top Artist Award later that evening, Nicki, Lil Wayne and other collaborators joined him on stage. During his speech, Drake called a beaming Nicki “the love of my life.”

We'd lost all hope that these two could be friends again after the Drake-Meek Mill feud, but it's really happening. We can't wait to see what they do together next.
