Lizzo won for her song "About Damn Time," and seemed to reference Minaj’s “What’s Good?” line during the 2015 VMAs. At the time, the rapper stepped up to accept the award for Best Hip-Hop Video for “Anaconda” and had a few choice words for host Miley Cyrus. She said, “And now, back to this b---- who had a lot to say about me the other day in the press: Miley, What's good?”
Sunday (August 28) night, Lizzo resurrected that same energy to the haters and said, “To the b----es that got something to say about me in the press… You know what, I'm not going to say nothing. They be like, ‘Lizzo, why don’t you clap back?’ Because b----, I’m winning hoe!”
Ranking The 2022 MTV VMAs Red Carpet Looks
The MTV VMAs were live at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey tonight, and the stars came out to shine. Many took fashion risks that paid off. Some, however, ended up looking more like a train wreck.
See the best and worst looks of the night below:
26. Chloe Fineman
