Rihanna followed in the footsteps of legends before her including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyoncé, Kanye West, and Janet Jackson as the latest recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Eleven years after making her debut with “Pon de Replay,” the girl from Barbados reflected on her illustrious career, including 14 No. 1 singles and eight albums, with four performances throughout the course of Sunday's show.
After her fourth medley of the night, Drake emerged on stage at Madison Square Garden to bestow praise upon his “Work” collaborator and girlfriend.
As RiRi stood behind him, a tuxedo-clad Drizzy reflected on their first encounter on set of the “Pon De Replay” video in Toronto. “The first time I met Robyn Fenty was 2005,” he said.
He continued, “Some artists need to play a character to achieve success. Some need to downplay their own natural instincts to blend in. She succeeds by doing something that no one in this music industry does, which is being herself.”
