That is sadly what the VMAs has become. I see you, Amber. FIVE. In the first two hours, they gave our TWO fucking awards!

For people to understand just how blessed we are, [‘Famous’] was an expression of our now, our fame right now, us on the inside of the TV.

Beyonce also performed at the awards along with Britney Spears, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna who was given the Vanguard Award to honour her career in music. So I feel like it’s up for the people to figure it out.
