Nas took home the trophy along with Billy Ray Cyrus for their gigantic hit – ‘Old Town Road’, which won in the category – ‘Best Musical Event Of The Year’ on Wednesday.
The news was officially announced on CMA awards’ official Twitter handle.
“Congratulations to @LilNasX and @BillyRayCyrus for winning #CMAawards Musical Event of the Year for “Old Town Road (Remix)”. This winner was just announced on @GoodMorningAmerica!”
