Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish Troll Quick Engagements and … Fifth Harmony?
The two comedians took the stage to present Best Hip-Hop Video, but quickly stole the show by poking fun at Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson for getting engaged after just a few weeks of dating. “Why are so many celebrities getting engaged? Is there a sale at Bed, Bath and Beyond that I didn’t hear about?” the Girls Trip star quipped. “Is that why y’all doing this? Is there a special on Groupon?” Kaddish also threw shade at Fifth Harmony. “Camila Cabello … is nominated for five VMAs tonight. Five of ’em!” Haddish said after struggling to pronounce the singer’s name. “I’m super proud of her. So, those of you watching at home: Hi, Fifth Harmony!”
Dozens of Immigrant Children, Youth and Families Join Logic on Stage
Logic made a statement during Monday’s award show, inviting dozens of immigrant parents and children on stage with him during his performance of “One Day.” The singer, who was also joined by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, also slammed President Donald Trump’s immigrant policy in the song’s music video released on Friday, August 17. While Logic wore a T-shirt that read “F—k the wall,” the immigrant families sported shirts that said, “We are all human beings.”
J. Lo Performs Her Greatest Hits and Wins the Video Vanguard Award
Jennifer Lopez stole the show with a string of greatest hits, including “Jenny From the Block,” “Waiting for Tonight” and “I’m Real,” which featured a surprise cameo by Ja Rule.
