His single That's What I Like beat fan favourites including the catchy latin track Despacito to win three more awards including Song of the Year and R&B Song of the Year.
Kendrick Lamar came up behind him and also bagged five awards for his musical efforts this year - leaving Jay-Z's efforts in album 4:44 completely snubbed as a result.
The star, who was awarded the Icon of the Year award, was up for numerous gongs for his latest album, but was unable to land a single accolade.
However, sitting in the front row with wife Beyonce and daughter Blue Ivy, the star appeared to be enjoying the evening regardless - and was even caught being told off by his six-year-old for clapping along.
