News just broke that Robyn Rihanna Fenty is this year’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award recipient.
At 28, she is the youngest artist to receive the award, along with Madonna who got it in 1986. The award is given to musicians who have made a profound effect on the MTV culture, honoring an artist’s body of work.
Seeing how it’s a Lifetime Achievement Award, it’s not surprising most have to until at least their 30s but with Rihanna, a lifetime of work is already accounted for (with much more to come, of course). The ceremony airs live on air on Sunday, August 28, from Madison Square Garden (first time in VMA history).
I truly madly deeply hope she’ll perform an ANTI medley. Like all of it, interludes included. Not sure I would survive, but it’d be a nice way to go.
Ms. Fenty has also landed nominations for Best Female Video with ”Work”, Best Male Video with Calvin Harris’ and her’s ”This Is What You Came For” plus two nominations in the Best Collaboration category for the same songs.
