The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) took place at UBS Arena in New York on Thursday, September 12th (JST), where Megan Thee Stallion and Yuki Chiba’s collaboration track “Mamushi” won the Best Trending Video award.
The VMAs are one of the largest music award ceremonies in the U.S., recognizing the year’s best music videos and artists. During Megan’s performance, Yuki Chiba made a surprise appearance as a guest, performing their collaboration “Mamushi” live on stage. This marked a historic moment as Yuki became the first Japanese artist to perform on the main stage of the VMAs.
