The rapper, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill and is 22 years old, collected the statuette at the Barclays Center in New York, beating heavyweights like Ed Sheeran (“Bad Habits”) or The Weeknd (“Save your tears”).
“I have not taken this for granted, I love you”, the singer said excitedly, who previously starred in one of the most spectacular performances and who walked the red carpet in a long dress.
The artist wore a pregnant belly under his dress, as he has aesthetically promoted his new album, “Montero” (his real name), as if it were his son.
On stage, she dazzled with an elaborate performance of “Industry baby” alongside Jack Harlow, and then she was shedding layers of clothing until she was left in glitter boxers to perform “Montero.”
Lil Nas X also took another MTV VMAs for directing that music video, which has more than 300 million views.
