Introduced on stage by Bruno Mars, Janet Jackson belted through songs from her classic catalog like Nasty and the sexually explicit Throb before accepting her award, becoming the first black woman to receive the award.
There were so many high moments from her performances, including a bit of the Akwaaba dance, that originated from Mr Eazi. https://twitter.com/mreazi/statuses/998457666912575488
