Travis Scott, Wallen hit BMAs stage

Travis Scott and Morgan Wallen made controversial returns on the Billboard Music Awards stage on Sunday, while Mary J. Blige was honored for her musical excellence.

Wallen performed in his first major awards show after he was caught on camera more than a year ago using a racial slur.

Shortly after his performance, rapper Pusha T presented Wallen with the top country artist award.

Scott made his first televised performance since a massive crowd surge killed 10 people and injured thousands at his Astroworld Festival in Houston in November last year. The rapper performed his single “Mafia” in an icy, polarthemed set with heavily censored lyrics.

Mary J. Blige received the

Icon Award for being an influential music maker. The singer, known as the Queen of HipHop Soul, was presented the award by Janet Jackson and escorted on stage by Sean “Diddy” Combs — who emceed the show, which was broadcasted live on NBC from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Olivia Rodrigo, Kanye West and Drake were already big winners before the Billboard Music Awards officially kicked off.

The Kid LAROI became a first-time winner, taking home five wins for his song “Stay” with Justin Bieber — whose Billboard Music Awards win count rose to 26.

Doja Cat won top R&B artist and R&B female artist for the second consecutive year. She’ll compete for top R&B album and female artist.

Taylor Swift — who has the second most-ever award show wins with 29 — won four awards. Bad Bunny received two wins while R&B duo Silk Sonic, comprised of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, won their first-ever award for top R&B song through “Leave the Door Open.”
