Drake was a huge winner at last night's (May 1) Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, taking home 12 awards and bringing his career total up to a record-breaking 27, but it is who he mentioned in his speech that really grabbed attention — Game of Thrones heroine Arya Stark.
While accepting the Top Billboard 200 Album for Scorpion, Drake thanked everybody who contributed to the album.
"It was a really lengthy album, so it's a lot of people to mention, but thank you to everybody who gave me their time, their energy, stayed away from their family and friends while we were trying to complete this," he said. "I always had a dream of doing a double album, and I finally did it, so now I'll never do it again."
Before leaving the stage, though, he stepped back up to the mic to add, "And, hey, shout out to Arya Stark for putting in that work last week!"
Stark — portrayed by Maisie Williams — has been having quite the season on Game of Thrones this year.
