Britney Spears returned to the VMA stage, but was accused of lip-syncing her performance of Make Me from her new album Glory. Bey took home a whopping six wins at this year’s VMAs; breaking the record for most wins.
“I’d like to thank my lovely daughter and incredible husband for all of their support”, she said as she claimed the evening’s final award.
Beyonce has topped the winners list at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards scoring a string of top honours, including video of the year for her politically charged song, “Formation” and best female video. “I have the most incredible team, they work so tirelessly they stay up all night and i could not have done this without you guys”. “Have a lovely night”.
Beyonce walked the carpet with daughter Blue Ivy and mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant and Michael Brown- all have appeared in her latest video.
Twitter was also sent into a frenzy earlier in the night by Beyonce.
The 39-year-old rapper, who shared a very good relation with the MTV VMAs, was there this year to unveil the video for ‘Fade, ‘ track from his controversial album ‘ Life of Pablo.’ Given four minutes to do what he pleases, Yeezy took his chance and paid a tribute to himself.
He also gave a shout-out to his ex Amber Rose, who was in attendance and talked about his role models, before unveiling his new music video. West went on to talk about how “Famous” was an expression of their fame and how audacious he was to put Anna Wintour next to Donald Trump and put Ray J in the bed. You know, like, people come up to me like, ‘Yeah, that’s right!
“I love you all, you know”.
He said as he looked at her in the audience: “My wife is a G!”
Rihanna kicked off the show, performing a medley of her hit songs in a bright pink ensemble that matched her background dancers and the stage.
During his tribute to Rihanna, Drake – dressed in a full tuxedo for the occasion – claimed that he’d be in love with the Barbadian singer since he was 22 years old. “The rapper-singer-producer performed his hit “(Expletive) Up Some Commas”.
He also hailed Puff Daddy as an icon before finally turning to name his wife, Kim Kardashian.
