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).

She then thanked her rumoured boyfriend. “If y’all came to slay, sing along with me”, Bey told the audience at the start of an anthemic “Formation“.
Drake won best hip hop video for “Hotline Bling” and Calvin Harris won best male video for “This is What You Came For” and electronic video for “How Deep Is Your Love”.
“I am Kanye West”. “But if you think about last week it was 22 people murdered in Chicago”. The singer had a child less than a year ago, but like every other mother who took the VMA stage, Taylor is “strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business”. Unlike her 2007 performance of “Gimme More”, we actually wanted more this year. Britney shone onstage in a skimpy, sparkly gold unitard (while her dancers wore black-and-white outfits) and suggestively danced around the rapper for a fiery performance. Drake said, quote, “She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her even though she’s younger than me”, said Drake. “She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry”, end quote. It was a touching tribute and sparked a renewed love affair with the two talented entertainers.
If you follow the Snapchat queen (sorry, Kylie) on social media, you already know not only is the 35-year-old staying in a fancy NYC Airbnb, but she also took photos with almost everyone at the show last night!

Rocking a new hairstyle, Rihanna returned to the stage to perform “Needed Me”, “Pour It Up” and “B**** Better Have My Money”. This year it was awarded to Rihanna, who split up her performances throughout the night, singing hits such as “Work”, “We Found Love” and “Love on the Brain”.
