Cash Money Records rap star Lil Wayne and R&B crooner Chris Brown emerged as winners Sunday (September 7) during the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
Lil Wayne, who took home the award for Hip-Hop video of the year for his Static Major-assisted hit "Lollipop," was very brief in his acceptance speech with only three acknowledgements.
"Thank God. Thank my family and thank y’all," said the rapper, whose performance was introduced by Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps.
With Leona Lewis providing vocals on the hook for "DontGetIt," Lil Wayne finished his energetic set with "A Millie" and "Got Money" with T-Pain...
Other VMA performers included LL Cool J, Pink, Lupe Fiasco, Paramore, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry and Kanye West, who closed the more than two-hour show with "Love Lockdown," a new song that is expected to appear on his upcoming fourth album.
West's performance came in direct contrast to his boycott of the VMAs following his criticism of last year's show...
