The MTV VMAs are on the bad side of fans of ‘Wild Side’ singer Normani.
Two years after blowing the roof off the annual event with the inaugural live performance of her Platinum hit, ‘Motivation’ (click here to watch), the stageblazer’s supporters – affectionately called #NormaniNation – were expecting a redo with her current hit, ‘Wild.’

Standing in history books as the only artist to have five Diamond songs attached to his name, Bruno Mars – already one of the best-selling acts in digital music history – is set to extend that record with a sixth.
As recently revealed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Mars (born Peter Hernandez) is the recipient of a slew of certification upgrades thanks to ongoing interest in his decade-wide catalog of hits. Among those is his 2012 Hot 100 #1 smash, ‘Locked Out of Heaven,’ which is now just 1 million units away from unlocking Diamond status itself.
