Later on in the evening, the Honolulu, Hawaii native beat out Jay Z once again in the Record Of The Year category as his 24K Magic beat out Jay's The Story Of OJ.
Mars definitely felt like the star of the show as he also performed latest hit Finesse (Remix) for the first time with Cardi B.
The 25-year-old Bodak Yellow rapper and Bruno had one of the most fun performances of the night as they rocked early Nineties looks inspired by variety show In Living Color.

Homage: The pair's vibrantly colorful outfits were redolent of the original music video, which was itself influenced by the look of the iconic 1990s sketch show In Living Color
The Bronx-born rapper matched her bottoms with a striped bra-lette, adding a splash of glitz with a massive Moschino medallion and bell-like drop earrings.
Kendrick Lamar won the second most awards of the night as he earned five including Best Rap Album for DAMN. He had the second most nominations of the night with seven.
He had also stole the show earlier in the night as he won the first award of the night in the Best Rap/Sung Performance category after an incredible politically-charged performance.
The rapper who hails from Compton, California teamed up with Rihanna on the hit track LOYALTY. as they both hit the stage to thank their fans.

Kendrick also began the show with a performance as he started the event by doing XXX.
He then welcomed Bono and The Edge from U2 as he went into hit DNA.
Then Dave Chappelle came out for a short break and monologue before Kendrick kicked back into his performance which was chalk full of social and political commentary.
'I just wanted to remind the audience that the only thing more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America, is being an honest black man in America,' the 44-year-old comedian stated. 'Sorry for the interruption. Please continue.'

Legend: The performance was chalk full of social commentary
Another one of the strongest performances of the night came from Kesha who gave a heart-wrenching performance of her song Praying.
The 30-year-old performer had written the song about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her producer Lukasz 'Dr. Luke' Gottwald.
She was introduced by Janelle Monae, who wore a white rose pin on her black and floral suit, who gave a passionate speech in honor of the movement's fight against s3xual harassment and abuse.

The four women also participated in a show of solidarity for the #TimesUp movement as several stars wore a single white rose as a sign of solidarity.
The flower was either pinned or conveniently left with a long stem for red carpet vamping.
The message, of course, is a serious one as the music industry looked to follow up the anti-s3xual misconduct show of black looks at the Golden Globes.
Camila, 20, then went on to introduce the next performance but not before using the opportunity on stage to make an impassioned plea for Dreamers.

She then shared that she has made it as far as she has because she is an immigrant who came to the country as a child with nothing.
Cabello immigrated from Cubameaning she was able to enter the country legally and be granted refuge. But she was brought to America in the same way as any DACA recipient, she explained.
