Musicians Camila Cabello, Childish Gambino, Jay Z and Beyonce dominated last night's MTV VMAs (Video Music Awards) 2018.
It was a great night for Camila Cabello who took home the Moon Man trophies for artist of the year and also the gong for video of the year. While Jennifer Lopez won the coveted Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for lifetime achievement.
"I grew up on MTV, and this is really a tremendous honor for me. It has been an incredible journey of dreaming my wildest dreams and then kind of watching them come true. Music, acting, performing, this career has always been kind of an obsession for me", Lopez said while accepting her award.
Madonna paid a special tribute to the late Aretha Franklin during the ceremony. "Aretha Louise Franklin changed the course of my life", Madonna said. "None of this could have happened without our lady of soul. She led me to where I am today and I know she influenced so many people in this house tonight ... Long live the queen".
Accepting her award for best new artist, Cardi B said: "A couple of months ago a lot of people were saying you're gambling your career, you're having a baby, what are you doing ... I carried a baby and I'm still winning awards. I want to thank all of my friends, my family that supported me".
