Although a number of Hip Hop and R&B acts served as nominees at last night’s (November 22) American Music Awards, none of those artists took home an award for a category outside of Hip Hop or R&B/Soul.
Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s “See You Again” was nominated for both Song Of The Year and Collaboration Of The Year, but lost to Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” and Skrillex, Diplo, and Justin Bieber’s “Where Are Ü Now.”
New Jersey newcomer, Fetty Wap lost New Artist Of The Year to Sam Hunt. The Weeknd was also nominated in the New Artist Of The Year category.
The Canadian crooner did take home an award for Favorite Male Artist – Soul/R&B and Favorite Album – Soul/R&B.
