“Latin music would not be the global force that it is without Shakira,” he said of the 46-year-old Colombian singer, who performed a medley of hits that took her from contortions in a box (She Wolf) to center-stage dancing with knives (Whenever, Wherever) to crowdsurfing while singing BZRP Music Sessions, Vol 53. Wyclef Jean presented Shakira with her video vanguard award for her contributions to global music. She represents our country and our Latina community,” said Karol G in Spanish. Karol G won for best collaboration with fellow Colombian Shakira, the night’s guest of honor, for their song TGQ. The VMAs also nodded to the global domination of Latin music from artists such as the Brazilian Anitta, who won best Latin for Funk Rave, Mexican breakout artist Peso Pluma, and Colombian singer Karol G, who became the first female artist to score a No 1 Spanish-language album with Mañana Será Bonito.

Mary J Blige presented the global icon award to Diddy, AKA Puff Daddy and Love, whose real name is Sean Combs.
The performance-heavy, relatively chaos-free VMAs devoted a significant portion of its nearly four-hour ceremony to celebrating 50 years of hip-hop, from a night-opening performance by Lil Wayne to the VMA debut of Metro Boomin to a finale medley featuring Doug E Fresh, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, LL Cool J, Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC, Lil Wayne and Minaj herself.
