Drake knows an MVP when he sees one, and this week’s was definitely Arya Stark.
The hip hop superstar accepted his Billboard Music Award on Wednesday with a cheeky shout out to the Stark powerhouse and her work in Game of Thrones Season 8, episode 3, when that happened.
Before leaving the stage with the Top Billboard 200 Album award for his whopper of a double album, Scorpion, Drake dropped some unexpected recognition for the biggest badass in Westeros.
“Shout out to Arya Stark for putting in that work last week,” he said.
Needless to say, folks on Twitter lost their collective shit.
drake literally just said “shout out to arya stark for putting in that work last week” in his acceptance speech and i’ve honestly never seen the billboard music awards before but it is now my favorite one

I just have this strong feeling that Drake’s next hit is going to have some Game of Thrones reference lyric about Arya Stark.. it’s something he would do

Even HBO got in on the action.
Of course, the dreaded “Drake curse” got a few mentions too, a reference to several football players who have posed for photos with the star, only to have their team lose their next game. Italian club AS Roma even jokingly “banned” their players from taking photos with Drake for this reason.
It’s silly, but superstition is a powerful thing.
Whatever happens, watching the top of the game shout out the top of the game is one heck of a moment. Curse be damned.
