During his speech for the made up award he said,"When I was a little boy growing up in Indiana if someone told me I'd be getting the Artist of the Millennium award, I'd never have believed it." He then thanked God, his parents and the magician, David Blaine. YIKES!Kevin Mazur / WireImage / Via Getty Images
That same year, Tyler, The Creator was so taken aback by his Best New Artist win that he couldn't stop dropping f-bombs in his acceptance speech."Yo, I'm excited as f*** right now, yo," he said beating out Wiz Khalifa, Foster The People, and Big Sean that year.Drake gave a heartwarming speech when he accepted his 2012 VMA for Best Hip-Hop Video."I want to dedicate this award to any kid that's ever had a long walk home by yourself. This is to you," he said.
A common theme at the VMAs is artists using their acceptance speech as an opportunity to throw shade at others. Nicki Minaj did just this at 2015's VMAs when she took the stage after winning for Best Hip-Hop Video and name dropped Miley Cyrus, that year's host. “You know who I want to thank tonight? My pastor,” Minaj said. “I love you so much. And now, back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me in the press.
The singer went on to explain how she taught her daughter how being different and loving who we are is a beautiful thing."We don’t change. We take the gravel and the shell and we make a pearl. And we help other people to change so they can see more kinds of beauty."Mike Coppola / Getty Images for MTV / Via Getty Images
