Rihanna is no stranger to pushing the envelope… so you can imagine why she chose to perform one of the more risque tracks from her latest album on the VMAs.
She opened up her performance with a choreography heavy rendition of the “Cockiness” remix (she even forgot to sing a couple of times). Harlem’s rising rap prince A$AP Rocky joined her on stage to deliver his verse on the track, before she launched into a performance of her award wining single “We Found Love”. Watch below:
Okay so we know that Rihanna’s never going to knock you out with her vocals, but at least it was fun… and her hair looks amazing! Not too sure what to say about that handful that Rocky got either… but hey, it’s not my life. LOL
On a related note: people in the audience were all abuzz about Rihanna’s reunion with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in the VMA audience. MTV ran a live stream with multiple angles of the audience throughout the night, and it caught this moment between the former lovers:

It’s the Oprah effect. How much would you like to bet that a more official reunion is on the horizon? I got 5 on it.
