Drake gushed endlessly for Rihanna while presenting her the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night (Aug. 28).

Rihanna accepted the award after opening the show and then performing three more times at the event at Madison Square Garden.
“First of all, I’d like to thank my attractive daughter and my incredible husband for all of their support”, said Beyonce, who walked the carpet with daughter Blue Ivy and the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Oscar Grant – who all appeared in the singer’s “Lemonade” movie.
Rihanna said when she thought about receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award all she could think about was Barbados.
Nevertheless, both Drake and Rihanna were big winners at the VMAs, and possibly winning in the game of love. He said he met Rihanna in 2005 on the set of her first music video for “Pon de Replay”.
One thing is certain, diamonds are certainly a good friend to Kim Kardashian West. “It’s my family’s, it’s my fan’s, it’s my country’s, it’s the Caribbean as a whole, it’s women, it’s black women, so many people feel like their little piece is such a major part of this puzzle, and I have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over”.
Beyonce closed her performance with “Formation”, for which she won a VMA for Video of the Year. Not only did she lip sync, in typical fashion, but she did so badly.
The singer-songwriter took the stage for an epic 15-minute performance at the awards ceremony, during which she played a few of her latest hits.
Additionally, the evening was brought to life by other athletic and scandalously noteworthy performances of “Side to Side” by Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, a mash-up of “Make Me…” and “Me, Myself & I” by Britney Spears and G-Eazy and an intimately close “Closer” by Halsey and The Chainsmokers.
Washington D.C., August 29: Looks like Kanye West used his allotted four-minutes at MTV Video Music Awards this year, quite well.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’. “The audacity to put Anna Wintour right next to Donald Trump”. He even pointed to former girlfriend Amber Rose, who was in the audience and is also in the video.
