“Megan, girl,” she began. “I was gonna write a speech about how you deserve this and then I was like, ‘there’s no way they’re going to choose me.’

“I was like ‘it’s hers’,” Billie continued. “You deserve this, you’ve had a year that I think is un-toppable, you’re a queen, I want to cry thinking about how much I love you, you’re so beautiful, you’re so talented, you deserve everything in the world.

“I think about you constantly, I root for you always, you deserve it, honestly. Genuinely, this goes to her. Can we just cheer for Megan Thee Stallion?"

Billie did eventually say her own thank yous, saying she "really does appreciate" the acknowledgement.

“I really do appreciate this. Thank you the academy... I love my team, thank you for seeing me and thank you to my brother Finneas, and thanks for doing this, I love you.”

Megan was nominated for four awards on the night, winning three; New Artist, Rap Song for ‘Savage (remix)’, and Rap Performance for her collaboration with Beyoncé.
