Not even a collection of stage-blazing performances from the likes of Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, and more were enough to help this year’s MTV VMAs drum up some respectable viewership figures. After netting their lowest ratings ever with the 2017 showing (click here for details), the hopes were probably a bit higher for this year’s.

Preliminary figures revealed after the show’s first airing offered a bleak outlook, one confirmed by today’s final figures that indicate the 2018 edition of the MTV VMAs were their lowest rated in history.

Nicki Minaj isn’t quite done with Travis Scott.

The pair have seen their names become a fixture of headlines after going head-to-head in a boisterous battle for chart supremacy.

As reported, in its second week Scott’s ‘Astroworld’ denied Minaj the #1 with new album ‘Queen’ – which had to settle for #2.

At the time, the rapstress controversially declared herself the winner and slammed Scott for using clothing bundles to shift his music. This despite using bundles herself.

Now, on the latest episode of Queen Radio on Apple Music, Minaj has hit out at the Billboard victor. And this time she’s being all sorts of direct. For, she brazenly branded Scott “ho n*gga of the week” and “autotune man.”

Madonna made headlines for all the wrong reasons last night, after using almost 10 minutes of TV time to talk about herself while “tributing” late legend Aretha Franklin at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards. 

The moment puzzled many, who took to social media in their droves to voice their anger at the 60 year old’s antics.

For most, her approach was tasteless, tactless, and the definition of indulgent.

But, if folk thought the Pop queen was remorseful – then think again.

Instead, she’s offered deeper insight into what happened.

Much like her Billboard Awards’ tribute to Prince shortly after his death (click here to read), Queen of Pop Madonna‘s tribute to the late Aretha Franklin wasn’t exactly met with applause as many accused the ‘Material Girl’ of making the moment all about herself.

Reflecting on the early days of her pursuit of stardom, Madge’s lengthy stroll down memory lane appeared to skip a turn or two as it related to the topic at hand:  remembering Aretha.  Needless to say, the omission didn’t go unnoticed by viewers.  See their merciless roasting inside:

Moments before Cabello walked away with ‘Artist of the Year’ and ‘Video of the Year’ VMA honors, Haddish – alongside Kevin Hart – stated:

“Camila Cabello is here nominated for 5 awards. So those of you watching at home, hi Fifth Harmony!” Haddish joked.

Needless to say, that didn’t sit well with many-a-Harmonizer (including Nicki Minaj).  See their responses inside:
