Dinero winning best collaboration over anything else that was nominated is a joke. And Camilla winning video of the year and even artist for that matter is a disgrace.
Right your telling me a fan voted award. Jlo wins.. hmm kay.. she beat out bruno jay z beyonce.. alright then if you say so
How the hell did “Dinero” win? You can’t tell me “Dinero” was the best collab. They fixed those numbers so JLo got an award.
How the hell did Nicki win best hip hop artist over Cardi and Drake?
At least Chun Li was on the charts longer than a week. The geek in me is about to come out, but NICKI MINAJ WAS DRESSED UP LIKE CHUN LI AND SHE WAS GLOWING. It was cool on so many levels. There were also ninjas. It was so much more exciting than those other videos. Like Nicki or not, you have to admit the video stood out.
Put ya number 2’s in the air *Charlamagne voice*
Dude your hate for Nicki Minaj is unparalleled.
it was actally best hiphop video for those particular songs, so we can take a deep breath and exhale
2 #2 albums and 2 #1 albums. No other female rapper in history has achieved that. Cheers to the undisputed queen of rap.
Lemon wins best editing! Another vma andcaward for Rihanna without her even trying ! Yassss Queen
Umm Right, because Rihanna is the one who sat down and edited the video…. ?
That VMA does not go to her.
She’s credited tho hun like it or not lol
Lol No she isn’t.
lmaooo what? you mean camel and the roach couldn’t buy any awards this year??? must have spent the budget on those free ticket giveaways lmfaooo. and oh yeah, NICKI IS STILL THE QUEEN OF RAP B!TCHES!! lmfaooooo ? ?? ?
They actually won 2 of those awards
MTV only gave awards to people who showed up. Oh, and some of them were bought (I’m looking at you Camilla and Syco).
I hate to admit, but Kanye was right.
Why ppl honor camilla racist ass. Black ppl working with her look dumb af too.
OMG I KNOW! She only is “not” racist now because she is famous in the lime light
