LAST NIGHT, THE VMAs took place and as always, they were a hotbed of controversy, shade and wardrobe malfunctions. Here are some of the most talked about moments from the ceremony that didn’t involve Beyoncé.
1. Nicki Minaj’s wardrobe malfunction
Not minutes into the ceremony and Minaj suffered a wardrobe malfunction when her quick change went wrong. (“We ran out of time getting the dressed zipped up,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.) Instead of freaking out, however, she just clutched her dress and sashayed around the stage like nothing was happening.
The show decided to pay tribute to the late Robin Williams with a hastily compiled twenty-second slideshow that resembled a Powerpoint presentation. Needless to say, it has come in for some criticism.
Whoops!

"Let's just shove that Robin Williams tribute in between someone twerking and someone winning some award that doesn't matter" - MTV
Miley won Video of the Year for Wrecking Ball. But instead of accepting the award herself, she sent a homeless teen named Jesse to accept on her behalf and speak on the plight of homeless youths. As Miley watched on the sidelines, he urged fans to visit Miley’s Facebook page if they wanted to make a “powerful change”.
Before presenting the award for Best Hip-Hop video, rapper Common spoke briefly on the situation in Ferguson, Missouri and hip-hop as an instrument for social change. He then honoured slain teen Mike Brown with a moment of silence.

Here she is unimpressed.
And here she is literally clapping with two fingers.
