"Shout out to the bro @Drake for shouting out Arya like that," one viewer tweeted. "Drake giving Arya Stark a shout out for 'putting in that work' at the Billboards much more satisfying than a politics speech!" wrote another fan.

While some fans were all praise for the rapper mentioning Arya's name in his address, others expressed concern over the character's future in the remainder of the epic fantasy series after his hat tip. The rapper is infamous for jinxing any team he supports publicly.

"Drake just thanked Arya Stark at the #BillboardMusicAwards... which sadly means Arya Stark is dead. Drake is the biggest jinx in all of media," a tweeple said. "Great now Arya dies next episode thanks a lot drake (sic)" another social media user wrote. Drake Reveals He Has Watched Mubarakan 3 Times!.
