This Sunday began the MTV VMA’s 2020, a ceremony that this time has several changes due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Thus, while some performances will be prerecorded, others will be live from different stages arranged in New York.

One of the big winners of the night is Weekend, who won the Best RnB Video category with Blinding Lights.

However, at the time of receiving the award, the artist was quite serious.

“Thank you very much VMA and MTV,” he began by pointing, then added: “It’s hard for me to celebrate and enjoy this moment, so I’ll say this is for Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor. Thank you”.

Blake was a 29-year-old African American citizen who was shot four times in the back during his arrest by police officer Rusten Sheskey in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

For her part, Taylor was an African-American woman who was killed in a shooting by agents of the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) on March 13.

It should be noted that this recognition of Weekend towards both victims of racial violence a trend became on Twitter, being highlighted even by the official MTV LA account.
