After being held up in traffic, like the heartthrob in a romcom that would make John Hughes proud, Drake showed up just in the nick of time, all decked out, to present Rihanna with the Video Vanguard Award at the very end of the ceremony (after her fourth unfortunately underwhelming mini medley).

In typical and true Kanye West fashion, the rapper ranted at the MTV Video Music Awards, touching on subjects from music to his beef with Taylor Swift to violence in his hometown Chicago.
“She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old”, Drake added, proceeding to hand Rihanna her award and giving her a hug. According to the musician, Rihanna has not changed over the years. “She’s my best friend and a true living legend in the music industry”.
Beyonce is making headlines this week for her powerful appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards. He famously jumped onstage and stole Taylor Swift’s microphone at the 2009 show and past year gave an 11-minute speech onstage – after being introduced by Swift – and announced he was going to run for president in 2020. What’s most impressive is the person.
However, in the acceptance speech, she thanked the singer Drake for his kind words and said that for her it is a special night: “My success”. Perhaps the best part was the fact that each singer stayed true to their own styles both in fashion and performing, and for that we think they all deserve kudos! He talked about her music, her personality and her ability to stay grounded, and then publicly declared his long-time love for the global pop star.
“We love the woman who hasn’t changed since day one”, he declared in his heart-warming speech. For MTV’s 2016 Video Music Awards the Queen Bey performed nearly a mini concert featuring a number of songs from Lemonade for the excited audience and it was everything!

The performance started off with Grande sitting on a stationary, work-out bike, while singing, which made her voice sound jumpy and out-of-breath. “It’s my family’s, it’s my fans’, it’s my country’s, it’s women, it’s black women”.
