Doja Cat sweeping the R&B category at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards left fans confused as to why an artist’s whose music leans towards pop and hip-hop would be in the R&B category… let alone take home all of the awards Sunday night.
Summer Walker, who was in all three categories that Doja won — “Top R&B Artist,” “Top R&B Female Artist,” and “Top R&B Album” — expressed how she was confused that she did not win at least one award in her category.

In Doja’s acceptance speech, she shouted out a couple of R&B artists including Summer.
“I think there is a lot of talented R&B artists out there right now,” the Planet Her singer said while accepting her award for ‘Best R&B Album.’ “You have Summer Walker, you have SZA, you have The Weeknd… and I think that everybody deserves this award, I really do.”
