A video of Canadian singer The Weeknd, getting teary eyed as he received the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award during the Black Music Action Coalition바카라s first annual Music in Action Award show, has gone viral.

 바카라I actually first met Quincy Jones in Vegas a long time ago. He pulled up to one of my club shows, and when I got off stage, he was waiting on the side. I was so excited to meet him, and there were fans on the other side screaming and trying to get my attention, but I was so focused on him,바카라 he said in the video.

According to the academy, the trophy is awarded to artists who bring 바카라attention to racial and social injustice and raise awareness globally.바카라

바카라[Quincy] said, 바카라Go take pictures, sign autographs, and I바카라ll still be here waiting. They바카라re just more important.바카라 And it stuck with me until this day. He was teaching me a lesson in that moment that nothing is more important than the people, and giving back is always better than receiving,바카라 he added and just before leaving the stage, the teary-eyed singer added that the accolade was the 바카라best award I바카라ve ever gotten in my life바카라.
