The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards held last night from different locations in New York as a result of COVID-19 restrictions.
The event which was hosted by actress Keke Palmer paid tribute to Black Panther star, Chadwick Boseman, who died of colon cancer at the age of 43.
The biggest winner on the night was Lady Gaga with five honours from nine nominations.
In her final acceptance speech, Lady Gaga said, “Just because we’re separated right now, and culture may feel less alive in some ways, I know a renaissance is coming
“Stay safe, speak your mind, and I might sound like a broken record, but wear a mask — it’s a sign of respect.”
