Rihanna turned the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards into her own personal showcase. Rihanna thanked her host of collaborators over the years, and also Drake. One song was not enough, naturally, so RiRi gave us a medley, including hits “Only Girl In The World”, “Don’t Stop The Music”, “We Found Love” and “Where Have You Been”. “All my adult life i’ve looked up to her even though she’s younger than me”. “11 years later, they still know Rihanna as the one and only Rihanna”. “My success started as my dream”.
In her acceptance speech, Rihanna pledged never to forget her native Barbados. I’ma talk. Now, later tonight “Famous” might lose to Beyoncé, but I can’t be mad.
