When the honor was announced, Donald Glover took the stage with his cast and team and gave a goofy acceptance speech in disbelief. Ultimately, Donald ended up thanking Migos for making "Bad and Boujee." Watch his shoutout here.
I grew up in a house where magic wasn’t allowed, so everyone in here is magical to me. Every time I saw a movie or heard your voices or saw you, I was like, “Oh, magic is from people. We’re the ones who kind of, in a weird way, tell a story or lie to lie children so they do stuff we never thought was possible."
My dad used to tell me every day, “You can do anything you want.” And I remember thinking as a kid in 1st grade: “You’re lying to me.” But now I do stuff and he’s like, “I didn’t think that was possible.”
So I really want to say thank you to my son and the mother of my son for making me believe in people again and things being possible.
