Drake Thanked Arya Stark at the Billboard Music Awards 2019 for Her Heroic Work on "Game of Thrones"
So many people love Game of Thrones, so it's no surprise that rapper Drake is a fan. But turns out he's a big enough of a supporter that he shouted out none other than Maisie Williams's Arya Stark at the Billboard Music Awards.
The Canadian rapper took home the award for Top Billboard 200 Album for Scorpion and took the stage to accept the honor. While at the mic, he opened up about the double album. But he also praised the GoT warrior: "Shoutout to Arya Stark for putting in the work last week!"
He's, of course, referring to what happened this past Sunday in the Battle of Winterfell episode. Arya fulfilled Melisandre's prophecy about "brown eyes, green eyes — and blue eyes." Using the Valyrian steel dagger that was once sent to kill Bran, Arya stabbed and killed the Night King, ending the bloody battle and saving Winterfell. It was a major moment not only for Arya but for the entire fantasy series, having one of the most iconic characters whose development has been so fulfilling to watch take out one of the worst baddies around. Now, we're just wondering who with green eyes will meet their fate at the hands of Arya. Cough Cersei cough.
This isn't the first time that Drake has proved himself as a Game of Thrones fan. In his track "You & The 6," he used the hit HBO series as a lyric.
While Drake may have taken home a Billboard Music Award, it's quite clear he'd bend the knee to Arya. I mean, who wouldn't after this past episode?
