It seems Drake is as much a Game of Thrones fan as we are!

The rapper, obviously pumped about what went down on last Sunday’s epic episode, took some time out during his Billboard Music Awards acceptance speech to literally shout-out the character Arya Stark

While accepting the award for top Billboard 200 album on Wednesday night (May 1), Drake concluded with a giant smirk and the line: “Shout-out to Arya Stark for putting in that work last week, ayy!”

For those who haven’t watched the latest GOT episode yet (Spoiler Alert!!!) Arya Stark indeed, put in that work (by slaying the Night King) during the Battle of Winterfell.

Drake also confirmed onstage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena that Scorpion, his album from last year that took home the Top Billboard 200 Album trophy, fulfilled his longtime desire to make a double album. He added that he won’t be making another one because of it, either.

Watch the clip of Drake’s speech below.
