Kendrick Lamar takes home 6 MTV Video Music Awards
Kendrick Lamar was the king of the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, winning six awards on a night full of emotional performances, political moments and a new, eye-popping Taylor Swift music video.
Lamar's Humble won video of the year, best hip-hop video, direction, cinematography, art direction and visual effects on Sunday at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. He gave an explosive performance of Humble andDNA, backed by ninjas dancing near fire.
But another rapper had the night's most memorable and touching performance. Logic performed his inspirational song 1-800-273-8255, named after the phone number for the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. He was joined onstage with suicide attempt survivors as well as singers Alessia Cara (best dance video winner) and Khalid (best new artist winner).
Lyrics from Logic's song include: "I don't wanna be alive/I just wanna die today" and "I want you to be alive/You don't got to die today."
