Lil Wayne Named Songwriter Of The Year At 2014 BMI R&B Hip Hop Awards

Lil Wayne was honored with the “Songwriter Of The Year” prize last night at the 2014 Broadcast Music, Inc. R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, which took place at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

As he was currently in Philadelphia on tour with Drake, Wayne could not be in attendance to pick up his trophy. This is also not the first time that Weezy has won this award as he won it back in 2012, 2010, and 2009.

Congratulations to Tunechi!

Lil Wayne & Drake Share Songwriter Of The Year Award At BMIs 2012 Urban Music Awards

After a successful night at the 2012 MTV VMAs on Thursday, Young Money carry on winning by picking up three awards at BMI’s 2012 Urban Music Awards last night. Lil Wayne and Drake both won an award for “Songwriter Of The Year“, while Nicki Minaj‘s “Super Bass” was named “Song Of The Year“.

The awards show took place at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, California, but Weezy, Drizzy and Nicki did not attend. However, the YMCMB General Birdman was in attendance and picked up the awards on their behalf, which would explain why he was absent from the VMAs.

The songwriter credits that helped Tune and Drake pick up the awards were: “She Will“, “6 Foot, 7 Foot“, “Look At Me Now“, “How To Love“, “Motivation“, “Aston Martin Music“, “Headlines“, “What’s My Name?“, and “Moment 4 Life“.
