MTV VMA 2016: Beyonce made her powerful presence felt at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday winning numerous trophies, especially the top one of the Video of the Year and also giving a spectacular 10 minute medley from the 'Lemonade' album. Rihanna, who got the Lifetime Achievement Award, herself performed four times. However, there was a setback to the MTV awards as Justin Bieber, Adele and Taylor Swift absented themselves. Not only did Beyonce make for a special evening of music, she also made a powerful socially-charged statement on racialism in the US when she arrived at the venue accompanied by the mothers of three black American men who were killed by the police in the US.
