After his explosive performance that opened the 2017 VMAs — where he literally set fire to everything in sight — it was only fitting that, at the end of the night, Kendrick Lamar would stand victorious, claiming the coveted Video of the Year award for his innovative, unmistakable “HUMBLE.” clip. Onstage at the show’s conclusion, Kendrick began by thanking the fans and shouting out his two co-directors — Dave Free, the "visionary" president of Top Dawg Entertainment who Kendrick said he's been "rocking with" since age 14, and storied video maker Dave Meyers, who Kendrick said him and Free have been "wanting to rock with" since age 14 — before ceding the mic directly to them. "Man, glory to God every time, you know what I'm saying? Giving us these amazing talents," he said. As for the "genius" Meyers (who's helmed videos for artists as diverse as P!nk, Dave Matthews Band, Jay-Z, and David Guetta), Kendrick thank

Taylor Swift has officially killed off her past personas in her video for " Look What You Made Me Do ," confirming Swift's proclamation that Old Taylor is dead. On Sunday night, Swift unleashed her brand-new video at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards , and we don't know if we should be screaming from excitement or fear. With over 20 different looks and scene changes, the video, directed by frequent collaborator Joseph Kahn, is truly a spectacle. Can you keep up? Here's all the shit that went down: - She crawled out of a grave (she could've stopped there, but it keeps going) - She crashed a really fancy car...looking like Katy Perry - She cradled one of her Grammys - She joined a biker gang - She became a BDSM crew leader - She cemented her status as Queen of the Snakes - She slayed in fishnets - She lead a crew of rebels wearing I <3 TS shirts (look familiar, Tom Hiddleston? )

Now that the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards have come and gone and Katy Perry can hang up her Moon Person suit, we're left reeling from another night full of incredible performances and memorable moments. We're also still trying to solve a number of mysteries that sprung up on the red carpet before the show, as some of the outfits we saw were truly mesmerizing and confusing in all their satiny, sequined glory. Here's a handful of our favorite snapshots from the 2017 VMAs that are our favorites for no particular reason, along with some of the questions we're still trying to answer about pretty much all of them.

Top producer  GospelOnDeBeatz is out with a new potential hit track titled Sauce, a song that could shatter dancefloors in coming weeks. The fiery track features afro-pop star Tekno and afro-dancehall Patoranking is expected to be housed on Gospel’s forthcoming extended play. The rich track produced by GospelOnDeBeatz with trumpets played by Kwitee, and saxophone by Tosin Oni while Mixed & Mastered by MillaMix.

When P!nk took the VMA stage Sunday (August 27) to accept the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, the night's most prestigious honor, she didn't make the typical acceptance speech. Instead, she told a powerful story to Willow — her six-year-old daughter with husband Carey Hart — but her words resonated with fans watching from home and with the whole audience at the Forum in Inglewood, California. You can watch and read her full speech below.

If this were a numbers game, the betting odds on P!nk defying gravity during her Video Vanguard performance at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards were pretty good. Thanks to one tricked-out ride and a career retrospective that showed she’s still the gal who can get the party started better than anyone else, she didn’t disappoint when it came to the party or the sky-high action. The pop star has spent a ton of time in the air since her 2000 debut thanks to her fondness for aerial choreography. Though her acrobatic moves didn’t make an appearance during her medley, a vintage, leopard-upholstered convertible did — complete with a hot pink teddy bear stuck to the hood ornament, just like in the “ Get The Party Started ” video — with P!nk hopping on the hood of it and soaring over the crowd at the Forum just in time for the chorus to “Raise Your Glass” to turn things up to 11. The mix she put together to celebrate her vivid videography re-worked her biggest

On Sunday, the Mexican government again stressed its position that it will not pay for President Donald Trump's proposed border wall. President Trump had tweeted Sunday morning: "With Mexico being one of the highest crime Nations in the world, we must have THE WALL. Mexico will pay for it through reimbursement/other." In response, Mexico's foreign ministry released a statement saying Mexico would not pay for a wall or other physical barrier at the border "under any circumstances. This determination is not part of a Mexican negotiating strategy, but a principle of national sovereignty and dignity" .

Sometimes, one wonders if there are scientific or medical explanations to certain bizarre occurrences in life. Women are generally known to complete an incubational cycle of nine months in pregnancy. Obviously, there have been times when some pregnancies produced babies before nine months and others well past nine months with say one, two or three months. But how does one explain a pregnancy that has lasted years and still counting, without attributing it to mystery? As he takes his Miracle crusades around the world, Dr. Chris Okafor, fiery and outspoken General Overseer of Liberation City church has come across numerous ailments begging for divine intervention. But none has shaken him half as much as that of women carrying the pains of pregnancy for years. At his recently concluded crusade in Umuahia, Abia State, a woman who had been pregnant for so many years finally heaved a sigh of relief. Her pregnancy was alleged to have lingered for well over three years and co

Detectives attached to the Ondo State Command of the Nigerian Police have found the decomposed body of one of the two missing undergraduate students of the Adeyemi Collegehave of Education (ACE)  at a ritualists’ hideout in the State. The body was found over the weekend following a week-long investigation and intelligence gathering. In July 2017, authorities of the school in Ondo State declared two students of the tertiary institution missing after they could not be found in their private hostels. The names of the two missing students were given as Semilore Oloruntimilehin of the agricultural department and Oladapo Blessing Oluwaferanmi of the biology department. Femi Joseph, the spokesman of the police in Ondo State confirms that the body of one the missing students was found over the weekend. He said the young woman’s body was discovered following the arrest and interrogation of two middle-aged men who were earlier nabbed for robbery but later confessed to kidn

The letter “U” can stand for many things, but for Oritse Femi, it stands for “Unity” - at least that’s the message he’s pushing on his new single. The song was released this week and is the perfect ending to the month of August. He uses this track to send a more conscious message to the nation of Nigeria and addresses some of the societal issues that are plaguing the people. The 32-year-old singer is one of the most intriguing musicians in Nigeria. Most people first came across Femi when he covered Fela Kuti’s legendary track, “Double Wahala”. Since then, his career has been on an upwards tragectory and it’s been a privilege and a joy to get to watch him put it all together. Check out “U” below and let us know if you’re feeling “United” to the cause.

Kcee’s politically charged album, “Attention to Detail” has finally released and we got our first listen at the musician’s brand new record. The album marks the beginning of a unique era for the singer who will be launching a political campaign with the same name. The album is already available on most streaming platforms and includes tracks/singles that have been released to the public in recent weeks including “Vanessa”. “Attention to Detail” is already impressing the masses, but it has scoped some pretty harsh reviews from the likes of Pulse Nigeria who questioned his “insistence” on including many Highlife sounds on the record. They wrote: “There’s an unwavering insistence on making music for the masses. Listening to this feels like watching Kcee walk into a room full of thousands of people and attempt to hug them all. Sometimes there’s a personal touch of brilliance, sometimes it feels like a breeze, a fleeting surface attempt at interacting with your best

DJ Enimoney is out with a new single and he has featured “Fada Fada” star, Phyno, on the new jam titled “Mmili”. “Mmili” is actually an Igbo word that means water and it sounds like the two musicians wanted to give us a dope track to quench our thirst during this party season. Many publications have raved about the song’s potential as a banger and from the early impression we’ve gotten on sites around Naija, people are going to love this one. We also had a look at what is being said on the Twitter streets: Have a listen to the new jam below and let u<iframe width="623" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o2MjgAhON_8?ecver=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> s know if you’re going to be dancing away to this one in the club:

Dressed in a "FACK TRUMP" T-shirt, Eminem didn't hold back his feelings about the U.S. President during his concert at Glasgow's Bellahouston Park Thursday night (Aug. 24). “Scotland might have to be our new home because right now shit ain’t going so well in the States. And I just want to take this moment right now to say motherfuck Donald Trump," the rapper declared, just before performing his track "White America," off of 2002's The Eminem Show album.
