The MTV Video Music Awards 2016, held Sunday night, and indeed was star studded, as star arrived at the venue looking totally fab, while strutting the white carpet. The different performances at each point left the crowd on their feet, shouting, dancing having a good time.

One of the highlights of VMAS was when Drake revealed to the world that he has been in love with Rihanna since he was in his early twenties while presenting her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award on Sunday night.

The 29-year-old, who has been romantically linked with Rihanna, raved about the hit-maker after arriving on stage in his tuxedo with the award in his hands.

‘She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22-years-old,’ Drake admitted as he delivered a lengthy and glowing speech in honour of Rihanna immediately following her fourth performance during the MTV Video Music Awards.

‘She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry, ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna.’

As Rihanna gave him a peck on the cheek, Drake continued to lean in to kiss her on the neck.

But the kiss didn’t last very long, as he pulled away after several seconds just before Rihanna said several words to him.

‘MTV, this is such an amazing night, it’s such an amazing moment in my career,’ Rihanna started off her speech. ‘When I think about the Vanguard Award and receiving this tonight, all I could think of was my country. They’re gonna be so proud, this is the first Vanguard to land anywhere close to my country,’ she said.

‘And so, you know my success, it started as my dream. But now my success is not my own.  It’s my family’s, it’s my fan’s, it’s my country’s, it’s the Caribbean as a whole, it’s women, it’s black women, so many people feel like their little piece is such a major part of this puzzle, and I have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over.

‘Thank you to every director whose taken a chance on me, and a chance with my crazy ideas, there’s just so much growth that has happened over the last eleven years, and I can’t believe I’m receiving a Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at 28 years old.

‘It’s crazy. And I have so many people to thank, I mean, from the very beginning. Evan and Carl, from SRP, you guys believed in me, you brought me straight to Jay-Z’s office, where I met Jay, Tata, L.A. Reid, Jay Brown, my whole publicity team, my grandpeeps, so many people, man, they write with me from day to day.

‘And my best friends, they never left me. They actually followed my a** all the way to America, gettin’ on my d*amn nerves.  They here right now, just witnessing this.

‘This is a big moment. Thank you to Drake, for that amazing speech. Thank you to MTV, I had so much fun! Good night!’

The songbird then left the stage hand-in-hand with Drake, but not before appearing to share another kiss with him.
