Tiffany Haddish is Team Camila Cabello... even if she can't pronounce her name. While presenting the award for Best Hip Hop Music Video (which went to Nicki Minaj), at tonight's 2018 MTV Video Music Awards the Girls' Trip star paid tribute to the one and only Camila, or Camille, or whatever she goes by! "Camila Cabellelo... Cabello... Camille Cabello," Haddish said alongside Kevin Hart, adding, "You know I can't read that good. I only speak English, and that's mostly in Ebonics. She's nominated for five VMAs tonight. I'm super proud of her!" The "Havana" songstress took Haddish's mix-up and glowing compliment in stride, flashing her signature pearly whites as the camera panned for her reaction.<doc-sep>Getty The 2018 MTV Video Music Awards kicked off Monday night without a host, but Twitter doesn't need an MC to talk trash on celebrities in attendance when fans are already doing it from home. Or in the case of the cutest couple inside Radio City Music Hall, Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande, fans are just swooning. But Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish weren't so lucky, with their presentation for the Best Hip Hop Video getting roasted. We'll be updating this post throughout the show. Here's why Twitter freaked out, so far. Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande This couple is cute and just keeps getting cuter, much to the delight of everyone watching them. When they weren't packing on the PDA, they were spotted running away from the long line of photographers on the red carpet, and fans on Twitter collectively swooned over the cutie pies every time MTV cut to the couple on camera once they were inside the building. In her acceptance speech for her first win of the evening, she thanked her fiancé for existing. ariana and pete running across the carpet PLEASE pic.twitter.com/DLVIhMGqwC @nucleargrande THEY KEEP SHOWING ARIANA AND PETE OMG CUTIES @Iustrem i just want to thank mtv for showing ariana and pete so much @successfulhood Ariana and Pete running on the VMA red carpet is already my fav meme of the year @megsmedcalf Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish Aren't That Funny They may be two of the biggest comedians on the planet right now, but MTV viewers sure didn't think they were acting like it when they presented Nicki Minaj with the Best Hip Hop Video award. The general verdict is that their jokes were lame, with the exception of that jab at Fifth Harmony. We giggled at that one, too. UH OH.... @TiffanyHaddish and @KevinHart4real stopped by the #VMAs to roast EVERYONE IN SIGHT 😳😳😳 pic.twitter.com/4kAwS8sCHY @vmas Me listening to Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish pic.twitter.com/8rOZXKZa73 @unden14blediva Am The only one who thinks Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish isn't funny #VMAs pic.twitter.com/vp1OuE1EbW @girlgamerdiva this Kevin hart /Tiffany shit cringe worthy @BreeDaAuraGod_ Sigh I don't ever wanna see Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish making jokes together ever again @DillyDenilly Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Heart got me like #VMAs pic.twitter.com/nZ7gp51VOV @Pierce_My_Love Cardi B Gets Has Peopling Talking for Soooo Many Reasons She looks fine after giving birth a few weeks ago, she pulled a baby fake out when she kicked off the show to present a Shawn Mendes performance, and of course people are busy debating if she's a better hip-hop artist than Nicki Minaj, who beat out Cardi in the Best Hip Hop Video category. Perhaps in a nod to her rivalry with Minaj -- who just released an album called "Queen" -- she declared, "I am the empress!" Cardi B saying she is the “Empress” #VMAs pic.twitter.com/rz4xlMxqZ0 @hermitscorner Dude that was a robbery Cardi B should have won! #VMAs @msangieb31 Cardi B looks STUNNING #VMAs pic.twitter.com/ii7kXSc2UR @WoahMitchie I like Cardi B better than Nicki Minaj. Because she's down to earth, great personality, really funny. Nicki is more talented but super arrogant. She makes it difficult to be a fan. Not for me. @ChrisPalmerNBA If Cardi B doesn't win best new artist at the VMA's I'm going to be MAD #VoteCardiB @olivia_sanborn Shawn Mendes Gets Wet and His Fans Go Wild The singer kicked off the hostless evening with a performance of his hit "In My Blood," and his admirers' eyes nearly bugged out of their skulls when he treated viewers to a one-man wet t-shirt contest. With over 66,000 tweets and counting mentioning his name, he was definitely one of the most popular stars of the evening. SHAWN MENDES DID THAT#VMAs pic.twitter.com/esitf6I7CS @shawnwished We looooveeee a wet Shawn Mendes 😛🤤 #VMAs pic.twitter.com/aoTLsWI9v8 @Aniyyae attention to shawn mendes only: the VMAs afterparty is at my apartment and there is warm banana bread @MattBellassai Shawn Mendes is perfection #VMAs pic.twitter.com/SVQiJKhMmP @MendesJonasArmy sex is great and all but watching shawn mendes singing in my blood while it's raining on stage is so much better pic.twitter.com/rbuKb4oinh @tuckermuffins Everyone Loves Blake Lively Anna Kendrick got some love from Twitter too as they presented Ariana Grande an award and promoted their upcoming thriller, "A Simple Favor," but viewers were mostly obsessed with Lively's look for the evening. She may have snagged the record for showing the least amount of skin at the VMAs ever. “Blake Lively, your night of 1000 Diane Keatons look was a Morning Glory. Congratulations you're the winner of this week's challenge.” #VMAs pic.twitter.com/fJcGsuLVsH @notbrendan blake lively is so stunning @perfctlyjapan blake lively looks like an actual angel @badrepskyla Blake Lively one fly white b*tch @thedongio_ every time I lay my eyes on Blake Lively I fall in love with her all over again @kaileeheller Blake Lively looks amazing. As always... #VMAs @Courtn_y I really don't know what Amber Rose is wearing at the #VMAs but anytime I look at Blake Lively, I'm being mesmerised. @NellyBlys Logic Declares 'F--k the Wall' and Everyone Cries The rapper got points from viewers for tackling another major issue during his performance of "One Day" with One Republic's Ryan Tedder. This year he targeted President Donald Trump's proposed border wall, wearing a shirt that read "F--k the Wall," with a small army of immigrants and activists behind him wearing shirts that read "We Are All Human Beings." "Bring us your tired, your poor, and any immigrant who seeks refuge. Together, we can build not just a better country, but a world that is destined to be united," Logic said to further his point. See the appreciation for his performance below. I appreciate how Logic uses his platform to consistently bring attention to huge issues #VMAs pic.twitter.com/tCNnQky9UK @Vertina_ Once again Logic has me crying. He has the immigrant kids that were separated from their parents on stage and then brought out their parents #VMAS pic.twitter.com/bPDdZBJgP0 @DopealiciousJ Logic is allowed at every cook out 😭#VMAs pic.twitter.com/XQZeUyY0VB @trippy_kopa i knew that damn Logic was gon make me cry #vmas pic.twitter.com/6FcTgGDMH5 @bigazzjenkz Viewers Baffled Post Malone Won Song of the Year "Rockstar" took home Song of the Year, and fans are baffled how it managed to topple hits from Drake, Camila Cabello, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran.

Don't @ me. #VMAs @Buffalogal Cardi B Beats Hayley Kiyoko for Best New Artist Hayley and Cardi's fan armies were duking it out hard all night on Twitter as votes decided who would be the winner, and in the end, the "Bodak Yellow" singer won out, leaving Hayley's fans crushed and confused, seeing as they saw her hashtag, #VoteHayleyKiyoko, trending high on the platform all night. Many are suspecting the vote was rigged, but at least she won MTV's Push Artist of the Year.<doc-sep>Tiffany Haddish is serving it up, but the girls of Fifth Harmony aren’t taking it! The 38-year-old comedian shocked viewers when she took a blatant shot at the foursome while at the 2018 MTV VMAs. “[Camilla Cabello] is nominated for five VMAs tonight! Five of ‘em!” Haddish proclaimed, before adding this brutal line, “I’m super proud of her. So, those of you watching at home, hi, Fifth Harmony!” As fans know, 5H, comprised of Normani, Lauren Jauregui, Dinah Jane and Ally Brooke, performed last year at the VMAs where they tossed a dummy offstage. The first to defend the girls was none other than Nicki Minaj. When accepting her Moonman after her “Chun-Li” music video won “Best Hip-Hop Video,” she had some choice words for Haddish. “Tiff, don’t be coming for Fifth Harmony because Normani is that b*tch,” she stated. “I’m just saying!” @NICKIMINAJ I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you 🙈✨💖 You perfect queen you! Thank you for lifting me up. God is real. Now y’all know I love me some Nickiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Congratulations on tonight!!! Proud of you always — Normani (@Normani) August 21, 2018 That ringing endorsement prompted this response from Normani: “@NICKIMINAJ I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you You perfect queen you! Thank you for lifting me up. God is real. Now y’all know I love me some Nickiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Congratulations on tonight!!! Proud of you always.” Jauregui also responded to the shade, writing on Twitter, “Waiting for the day when supporting one successful dope woman does not mean insult to other successful dope women. There is energy and space for us all to beautifully coexist and bless the world with our individual truths, stories and talents.” Waiting for the day when supporting one successful dope woman does not mean insult to other successful dope women. There is energy and space for us all to beautifully coexist and bless the world with our individual truths, stories and talents.✨💕✨ — Lauren Jauregui (@LaurenJauregui) August 21, 2018 Tiffany Haddish ain’t cute for that Fifth Harmony joke. Normani is gonna crack top 10 next week. If you gonna make a joke at least know what you’re talking about. #vmaspic.twitter.com/s8yxrlHYqr — Wendy 🖤 (@godisawendy) August 21, 2018 Fifth Harmony fans were also pretty irate with the Night School star for lashing out. “Tiffany Haddish ain’t cute for that Fifth Harmony joke,” one fan wrote. “Normani is gonna crack top 10 next week. If you gonna make a joke at least know what you’re talking about.” Get more VMAs news in the clip below. RELATED CONTENT: J.Lo Moments You Didn't See at the 2018 MTV VMAs!

You can always count on three things from the MTV Video Music Awards: revealing outfits, over-the-top performances and a whole lot of petty shade-throwing. Luckily, this year's show was no exception, and in the case of Nicki Minaj, we actually got the trifecta with her skin-baring Off-White dress, her Egyptian-themed performance at The Oculus, and some choice words while accepting her award for Best Hip-Hop. But she wasn't the only one making backhanded references and subtle jabs. Check out our round-up of some of the night's shadiest moments. 1. Cardi B Stirs Up Some Drama Right From the Start This year's MTV VMAs kicked off with a bizarre and utterly confounding appearance from new mom Cardi B, who was pretending to cradle her infant daughter, Kulture, but it turned out to just be an MTV Moon Person award. However, the rapper kicked the night off with what some felt was a jab at Minaj's new album, Queen, when she referred to herself as "the Empress." 2. Tiffany Haddish Takes a Dig at Fifth Harmony Hi @tiffanyhaddish! Just fyi, all @FifthHarmony member is just fine living their own life right now. Go get yours :) pic.twitter.com/gklWlhVlO7 — Donny Andrian🌵 (@donnyAndrian) August 21, 2018 Haddish and Kevin Hart kicked off the show as the night's first presenters, and the actress took the opportunity to serve up a sick burn on the former girl group. "Camila Cabello is nominated for five VMAs tonight," Haddish began. "So for those of you watching at home: Hi, Fifth Harmony!" 3. Nicki Minaj Claps Back in Defense of Normani Kordei When the "Chun-Li" rapper took the stage to accept her VMA from Haddish and Hart, she respectfully clapped back at the comedian for her dig on Fifth Harmony, specifically because of her love and respect for Normani Kordei. Nicki Minaj reminded Tiffany Haddish not to mess with Fifth Harmony because "Normani is that b*tch" https://t.co/3BXfCKU3u0#VMAspic.twitter.com/oCQsxFyB5j — The Cut (@TheCut) August 21, 2018 "Tiff, don't be coming for Fifth Harmony, because Normani is that b----," Minaj said, laughing. The moment was a rallying cry for 5H fans nationwide. 4. Nicki Minaj Promotes Her Own Awards Show (Sort Of) After thanking everybody she could think of during her acceptance speech, Minaj made sure to get cryptic (and vaguely threatening) when she told people to turn into her new radio show on Beats 1 to hear who won a particularly not-at-all coveted honor. "Tune into Queen Radio so you can know who the c---sucker of the day award is going to," Minaj said before stepping off stage. While we're not sure who's even nominated, according to a recent Instagram post from the Queen artist, The Huffington Post is in the running for an article they wrote criticizing some of her recent comments about Harriet Tubman and Spotify. 5. Travis Scott Reminds Us Astroworld is the #1 album (not Queen) Following Minaj's recent Twitter rant taking aim at Scott's new album, Astroworld, as well as his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, and for some reason their infant daughter, Stormi, fans were already expecting some bad blood. Minaj seemingly lashed out at Scott after his new album held the top spot on the charts for a second week, beating out her Queen album. Nicki Minaj: "I talked to Travis Scott, he knows i have the #1 Album" #VMAs La Flame: pic.twitter.com/oINKOY9KNr — Yung Jules (@iHateYungJules) August 21, 2018 However, they all kept things bottled up for the most part. Though, Scott seemingly got in one subtle blow after his performance when he declared, "Astroworld, no. 1 right now!" It might just seem like some simple bragging, but it's hard to ignore the timing of the remark. For more on this year's MTV Video Music Awards, check out the video below.
