Young Money's
Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and more united last night (September 6) at the
annual Video Music Awards with memorable attire, performances and awards. Award
winning comedian Kevin Hart, who promised no one would be spared his
comedic barbs, opened up old wounds between Chris Brown and Drake in his
opening monologue, spoofing the two for the bar brawl that took place between
their entourages in June. Drake and friends Nicki Minaj and Lil
Wayne sat stone-faced as Hart joked: "Nip it in the bud, guys. I'm
tired of it. Fix it tonight".
Despite the uneasy
beginning, a handful of Young Money as well as other stars such as Rihanna,
Chris Brown and Taylor Swift artists went home with trophies.
Below is a complete list of winners of the night.
