Kendrick Lamar was the King of the VMAs last night (27th August) taking home six of the eight awards he was nominated for including Video Of The Year for 'HUMBLE.'

Following an incredible opening performance of 'DNA.' and 'HUMBLE.', Kendrick went onto win Best Hip Hop, Best Cinematography, Best Direction, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects and Video Of The Year. Accepting the latter, Kendrick beamed: "Man, glory to God every time, you know what I'm saying? Giving us these amazing talents."

Elsewhere winners on the night included Ed Sheeran, who was crowned Artist Of The Year and although not present, Taylor Swift made her presence felt known, premiering her brand new music video ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ and winning the VMA for Best Collaboration with ZAYN for ‘I Don’t Wanna Live Forever’.

Fifth Harmony held back tears as they accepted the award for Best Pop for their Gucci Mane-featuring hit 'Down', while Khalid picked up Best Artist and all six nominees for Best Fight Against The System shared the award.
