Throughout the night, the stars stopped to pose for Polaroids throughout the Sheats-Goldstein Residence in the Beverly Crest neighborhood of LA, showcasing the fun throughout the evening.

Keena posed for a pic, and told Billboard on the red carpet that she was still processing FIFTY FIFTY being up for two prizes at tonight’s BBMAs: top duo/group and top global K-pop song for “Cupid.” “This is so surreal,” she said. “I can’t believe I’m here. I feel so honored and grateful to be nominated for this award.”

Coco Jones, whose breakthrough smash “ICU” spent four weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, also shared excitement for her song’s success. “Even seeing ‘ICU’ on the Billboard charts was such a huge goal of mine,” Jones told Billboard on the carpet. “It’s been on my vision board since I was literally 16 years old. So it’s so full-circle and I’m so honored to be here.”
