Beyonce owned the MTV Video Music Awards by winning video of the year and giving a 16-minute performance featuring her recent hits from “Lemonade”, working various stages with strong, layered vocals, skilled dance moves and even an outfit change – all as the audience watched in awe and cheered her on.
The 25-year-old R&B star set the internet on fire with her sexy, scantily clad, Flashdance-inspired routine in Kanye West’s Fade video.
Drake’s late arrival to the award ceremony made the presenter Diddy kept his silver and gold statue until he turned up later to receive it.
Drake’s loving speech about Rihanna at the VMAs on August 28 was by far the highlight of the night, so many fans wondered why the “Umbrella” singer dodged his kiss at the end.
Beyonce’s wins included best female video, pop video, breakthrough long-form video, choreography, direction, cinematography and editing. 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.
He finished up his speech by mentioning gun violence and Taylor, whom he fell out with earlier this year after he referenced having sex with her in the lyrics for “Famous”.
“We found out we were coming yesterday”, said Lion Babe’s Jillian Hervey. “You know, the lioness always protects her baby”.
Riri, as she’s fondly called by her fans is a Barbadian singer and songwriter.
“All I can think of is my country, they’re gonna be so proud, this is the first Vanguard to land anywhere near my country”, she said. Life can start to feel worthless in a way. Don’t compare yourself to Walt Disney. I’m standing in front of my wife Kim Kardashian West.
