Atlanta rap group Migos won big at the American Music Awards (AMAs) which were broadcast Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2018. Surprisingly, the group took home Best Pop/Rock Duo/Group, to which Migos member Quavo remarked, “We didn’t expect to win this … I love you, Momma!”

Social media didn’t like the decision, with many people saying that the music categories were all messed up.
