Conor McGregor Calls Machine Gun Kelly A “Vanilla Boy Rapper” After VMA Drama [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Mike Coppola / Getty There was a bit of drama at the VMA’s between Machine Gun Kelly and Conor McGregor. The Irishman is now saying that it would be a waste of time to put the beats on the performer. As spotted on Page Six the former MMA champion had a tense moment with the former Bad Boy Entertainment MC. An unnamed source says the two exchanged hands on the red carpet because of a photo snub. “They scuffled, then it settled down and Conor went for him again,” the source said, adding that the photographers “weren’t happy” and were “saying they were going to boycott Conor because they were worried MGK and Megan wouldn’t walk.” “[McGregor] was ready to throw fists,” the second source said, adding, “Security was having trouble holding him back.” Well C...

Kim Petras took to the stage at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards pre-show to perform her new single “Future Starts Now.” Watch it below. Flanked by a bevy of backup dancers wearing raspberry berets, opera gloves, and baby pink harnesses, the trans icon in the making lived out her full pop star fantasy belting out the house music-inspired bop in a dress and boots designed to look like sticky, melting bubblegum. “One day, everyone will notice/ The world is yours and you should know it/ So don’t let love get out of focus/ Don’t give up, the future starts now/ I know you can take the pressure/ Turn it into something better/ So take the pain and make it pleasure/ Don’t give up, the future starts now,” she sang while nailing her choreography, before revealing a second, skimpier bubblegum-inspired...
MTV VMAs 2020: Watch The Weeknd Perform ‘Blinding Lights’
The Weeknd just took MTV back to the days when it would play music videos more frequently. The Toronto singer’s Sunday night, New York City rooftop performance of his chart-topping single “Blinding Lights” kicked off a night of socially distant awards. The ’80s-inspired cut off his retro After Hours record has seen some mega-performances before, notably his January gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live. But Sunday’s take on the track was bigger, bolder and synth-ier. While it mirrored his previous performances of the cut at first, it soon saw the superstar dance around on a rooftop in red akin to Spider-Man, with fireworks backing him to really drive it home. Among the weekend’s six VMA noms are nods for Artist of the Year and Video of the Year. We’ll just have to see how many Moonpeople he goes home w...
