Lil Baby made a virtual appearance to accept the the Yamborghini High Award. “I want to shoutout to A$AP Rocky, the whole A$AP fam. I want to thank y’all for the Yamborghini High Award,” said the “Bigger Picture” rapper during a virtual appearance.
Young Thug received the Hella Flows Award, most likely for his unique repetition of song lyrics and clever wordplay, as heard on his latest track, “Take It 2 Trial.”
The annual tribute is held on Jan. 18, which was the date of Rodriguez’s death in 2015 at age 26. This year’s event, which was held virtually because of the pandemic, included an hour-long documentary about A$AP Yams, music previews from A$AP Rocky and the Yammy award presentations.
Lil Durk, who is a double Grammy nominee for “Laugh Now, Cry Later,” a collab with Drake, won the new level award. Lil Baby, a Grammy nominee for “The Bigger Picture,” won the Yammy for Yamborghini High award.
Two other Yammy winners Young Thug and Teezo Touchdown were not Grammy-nominated this year.
