Tonight the 2022 Billboard Music Awards went down in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The show was hosted by none other than the original bad boy himself, Diddy. There were performances all throughout the night from artists such as Travis Scott, Silk Sonic, Megan Thee Stallion, Maxwell, Latto, and many others.
Diddy opened up the show with a special performance. He was first joined on stage by Bryson Tiller, and then he went into the classic hit “Mo Money, Mo Problems,” and was accompanied by Teyana Taylor and her adorable daughter Junie.
