The MTV VMAs 2022 kicks off in Newark, New Jersey
Good evening and welcome The Independent liveblog for the MTV VMAs 2022.
This year’s party takes place tonight (Sunday, August 28) in Newark, NJ, with not one but three hosts to keep you entertained throughout the evening: Jack Harlow, Nicki Minaj and LL Cole J.
The organizers also booked a number of stars for the live shows, including Lizzo, K-pop group BLACKPINK, Eminem and Snoop Dogg, and the Italian rock band Maneskin.
Harlow and Maneskin are somewhat controversial appearances due to the fact that they both came out of Reading and Leeds festivals in the UK to make it to the VMAs. I guess the money (and primetime TV slots) speaks…

Top fashion predictions for the MTV VMAs 2022
Well, who will wear what on the red carpet? I’ve seen a lot of expectations for “naked” dresses because Megan Fox wore one last year…Personally, I’m always excited to see what Lizzo has envisioned, as well as Manskin’s ensemble (even if it’s in my bad books for pulling out of a UK festival to attend), Rosalia, Bad Bunny (Incredible Style), Billie Eilish. Nicki Minaj will probably wear at least three outrageous outfits.

Jack Harlow and Maneskin drop out of Reading and Leeds to perform at the MTV VMAs
The leaders of Reading and Leeds may have been upset when they learned that Italian rock band Manskin and American rapper Jack Harlow were pulling out of festivals at the last minute.
Both acts were enticed by the promise of some prime-time television footage at the 2022 MTV VMAs, with Harlow performing and co-hosting fellow rappers Nicki Minaj and LL Cool J.
“We are saddened to hear that Jack Harlow and Måneskin have decided to perform at the Awards Gala on the same weekend that they were confirmed to play Reading and Leeds,” festival organizers wrote in a statement posted to their Instagram Stories.
“We are working on some exciting alternatives to join Arctic Monkeys, Dave, Bring Me The Horizon, 1975, Halsey, Megan Thee Stallion, D-Block Europe, PinkPantheress, Joy Crookes, Fontaines DC, Bastille, Willow, Wolf Alice, Glass Animals and Minds. Hybrid and many others at Reading and Leeds Festivals this August Bank Holiday Weekend, watch this space!”

What will we see from Eminem and Snoop Dogg?
It’s been 12 years since Eminem’s last show VMAsand 17 years since Snoop Dogg last performed at the awards show.
In February, the couple joined forces with Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar for The star-studded Super Bowl halftime show.
As I mentioned The Hollywood ReporterMTV has stated that the show will be the “first of its kind” to perform “From the D 2 The LBC” inspired by the otherworldly Metaverse universe.
Others Side – a Boston-based American video game developer – describes itself as an “interoperable metaverse for a game currently in development. The game blends mechanics from multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) and virtual worlds that support Web 3.
“Think of it as a metaRPG where players own the world, NFTs can become playable characters, and thousands can play together in real time.”

Madonna proves that the MTV VMAs have never lacked controversy
Earlier this month, Madonna pondered how a wardrobe malfunction early in her career – at the first MTV Awards in 1984 – led her manager to say “her career is over.”
The 63-year-old music icon said the moment happened when she sang her single “Like A Virgin”.
I remember Madonna when she recently appeared in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“And I was trying to do this smooth movement like diving for a shoe and making it look like it was a choreography and my clothes flipped over, and my butt was showing. Can you imagine?
“Those were the days when you didn’t have to show your ass to get a job,” she joked. “Now it’s the opposite.”
