Glamorous VMA Awards fail to disappoint



The MTV Video Music Awards  are one of the most coveted awards in the music industry.

They are one of the few awards whereby artists are given accolades on basis of the quality of their videos.

VMAs are not without their fair share of drama, one of the most memorable being the Taylor Swift-Kanye West drama in the 2010 VMAs and also the Miley Cyrus twerking.

Miley bagged video of the year in 2014 and she hosted in 2015.

It ain't a VMA without the awkward happening.

Beyonce, Tayor Swift and  Ed Sheeran dominated this year's nominations, but who took home the much coveted statues?

Irony is Taylor Swift handed to Kanye West who stole her winning moment in 2009.

Nicki Minaj kinda dissed Miley Cyrus live on stage.

Miley was asked in an interview about  Nicki's beef on Taylor Swift and it looked like Miley was playing for Swift's team.

FYI Justin Bieber is back thanks to the concluded VMAs!

He did his Skrillex and Diplo collabo.
