Kiii Basic Swift is somewhere seething for the GAWDS!!! Adele straight snatched her hairline!
Including your fav. Adele still her beyonka yakky white women scalp from 2011 ??
Stfu! What has Cheatanna eon tonight? We done already established you ain’t no Adele stan! Funny how this account only pops up whenever thr Navy are taking serious lashings lmfao!
.
Also what did Adele take away from Beyoncé? She’s not in competition with these little girl’s. Her legacy and status is cemented! In 2011 QuenYonce receieved The Billboard Millennium Award and SLAYED THE FUXK OUT THAT STAGE!
Stfu
Yasssss queen. She was ROBBED for top song and chart achievement! Selling 3.34 million albums in a week and besting the all time first week sales record that was held by nsync for 15 years is way more impressive than than a pot head mountain goat sounding “singer” going number one.
Queen rihanna dominate
Yes instead of sounding like a goat stuck on a eletric fence she now just sounds like a goat
Wtf were x and 1989 nominated twice for top album? Album sales are THAT tragic ?
Overall the award show was basic and boring. However Rihanna shocked the hell out of me with that performance. Ariana killed it to, Demi was serving and CICI did a good job cleaning the toilets in between commercial breaks.
Ciara walked in the building looking like a skinny 2005 R. Kelly. Tall, dark, and handsome!!!!
He sure did, a his legs was looking good though, he don’t skip leg day?
loooooool. Wtf. Well I can’t. Deny cici is a very handsome man.
Is it me or does Rihanna seem a little more grown up and mature musically and in real life (despite Lebron scandal) she made me a bigger fan tonight I’m feeling her vibes
What Lebron scandal?
And lil Wayne is at home smoking a crack pipe making another ugly b****** child
The irony when Future busted a n** in CICI and made her baby momma number 6?
But Cici dropped that zero and got her herself hero. Your boy Lil Gremlin is still a gangbanging drug addicted nssty loser
Just like Epic dropped her/him.
????? Adele new song is number 15 on iTunes now. Rihanna is at 39! Beyonce…. N/A ?????
H** u tried it sorry is 13 and formation is 18
BAM! With a drop of bloop! bloop!
Why the hell you coming for Beyonce can’t you be happy for your fav and not insult another woman accomplishments Beyonce already cement her status at this stage in her career she really has nothing to prove tonight rih showed everyone she can sing I’m proud of her we need to be proud of these two black women on top in a industry we probably will not see it again
How the hell did Meek win best rap album?
Like him or not Meek has talent.
Ciara, that body.Everyone’s talking about it!
No. Actually they aren’t.
Drake is no longer biggest Artist in Canada new Sheriff is theweeknd he win Big.#CONGRATZ
Ciara’s a flop
Lol. People are on the gossip blog saying how creepy Russell was with Ciara.
Russell wouldn’t let poor Ciara out of his sight
I can’t @Adele’sFlipPhone giving her own fav Cheatanna lashings. Wasn’t this bitxh out her like 3 weeks ago defending and talking shít with the Navy??? Hahaha but now that people know its Navy hiding, it’s desperately trying to differentiate itself from The Navy. Bitxh you ain’t fooling nobody! Come out behind that account and get these lashing hoeee!!!
We were born as night not last night. That b**** aint slick lmao
*at
Yas! This bitxh think she got skillz! We ain’t dumb! We see through that wall of mesh! Lol!
S*** up bottom B****
SCREAMING!!! NOT BET SHADING BILLBOARDS PRINCE TRIBUTE WITH THAT PRINCE PIC KIIII!!!!!!
https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/fr/cp0/e15/q65/13235582_1310951402265820_2536339312086700204_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9
That was SO PETTY, OMG! However, they BETTER come correct in June because we ALL remember the way did The Purple One dirty by having Trey Songz’s fine a** butcher tf out of Purple Rain.
Ciara has clapped back at MTVMusic after they shaded her about Rihanna
Lawd have mercy Cici is going IN on MTVMusic! Someone’s about to get fired
Missed it but watched some of the stuff.
Model actually did very good. She does much better live with ballads (except Higher).
Black Twitter is dragging tf out of Madonna.
Ciara gathered MTVMusic then ended it with “God Bless.” Love ha!
SCREAMING!!!! Has anyone seen this? BET is just plain savage

IQUABVXGZUSB It was video!?!?!? I just saw the Prince pic circulating on FB earlier, didn’t know it was a short video LMFAO!!! Petty lev went 100 to 10000000 ?????????????
I’m sorry, y’all, but that Fifth Harmony performance was absolute embarrassment and shame crushed up in a blender. The Adele video is cute but boring, although I do see this single being another #1 for her. That Prince tribute really irritated me. I didn’t want Madonna and I stand corrected on that.
Y’all think Taylor was really that stupid to show up? She already knew that Adele was gonna snatch her and she didn’t want a repeat of that infamous Golden Globes night. It’s so obvious that she doesn’t like Adele cause she’s the only one who can put her in her place.
Don’t agree with top rap album. But they should have called it the weeknd awards damn was he that successful tho, congrats to all the winners.
Meanwhile a wwe event kills the twitter trend above Billboard awards.
Kudos to the Caribbean Legend Rihanna vocally coming along real good. When songs suit her tone it sounds real good.
Guess no L for Meek this time.
Top Rap Album:
Drake, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late
Drake & Future, What A Time To Be Alive
Dr. Dre, Compton
Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp A Butterfly
Meek Mill, Dreams Worth More Than Money — WINNER
~~~~~~~
Wait didn’t all these albums outsell Meek? Or am I missing something here thought these awards
We’re based on sales.
Awesome
