Following Rihanna’s final performance, Drake surprised the crowd as he made his way to the stage to present Rihanna with the 2016 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Drake went in on how he met Rih in 2005 and how big of a star she is and how even though she is older than her, he still very much looks up to her.
The chemistry on the stage was as natural as its ever been with the two sharing a kiss and Drake professing his love by saying, “she is someone I have been in love with since I was 22-years-old.”
In my opinion nobody would’ve been better two present the award than Drizzy. These two are arguably the two biggest stars in the world at the moment.
Past recipients for the award include Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, LL Cool J, David Bowie to name a few.
What an accomplishment, but well deserved! Congrats, RihRih.
Last week we shared a picture on our Twitter of a billboard Drake bought Rihanna to Congratulate her on the accomplishment.

Brrrooo! Kanye went to the MTV VMAs to premiere his new video for “Fade.”
Before he showed the video you know Kanye had to talk.
Ye started by praising Beyonce before discussing the “Famous” video, where he shouted out Ray J, Amber Rose (who was in attendance) and even talked about his love for Taylor Swift and the controversial phone call situation.
He then proceeded to talking about the senseless murders in Chicago before he passionately said his role models were “Truman, Ford, Hughes, Disney, Jobs, West.” Yes, West as in Kanye West. Gotta love it.
Can you count how many times he says “Bro?”
Click the link below to watch Kanye’s “Fade” video. The video shows a very sexy, slender Teyanna Taylor alongside her hubby Iman Shumpert and their newborn.

Future has been one of the biggest entertainers in the game and has put out hit after hit. MTV rewarded Future for his hard work by making him one of the performers at the VMAs. Future did not disappoint as he performed hits “Commas.”
Future was introduced by USA Gold Medalist Michael Phelps who said, “there’s no rapper more inspiring today than Future,” and admitted to listening to “Stick Talk” before hitting the pool.
In the video you will also see Desiigner vibing out to Future’s performance. Awkward.

Beyonce didn’t only lead the way at the 2016 MTV VMAs with 11 nominations and six Moonman trophies, she also slayed her 15-minute ‘Lemonade’ performance. In her performance she displays the choreography that earned her the Best Choreography award. Watch as she aggressively dances around the stage and breaks an MTV camera with a baseball bat.
@IamBNyce
The 2016 MTV Video Music Awards did NOT lack starpower with many superstars from several genres were in attendance at Madison Square Garden in hopes of winning a Moonman award.
The show was hosted by Key & Peele and of course DJ Khaled was also summoned to co-host the show. Khaled was deep with Fabolous, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Lenny S. and others made cameos in Khaled’s host suite.
Beyonce led the way with 11 nominations and six awards, a brilliant ‘Lemonade’ performance and her daughter princess Blue Ivy sporting a $11,000 dress.
