It did not disappoint.

The MTV Video Music Awards is an annual clusterf*ck of terrible outfits, questionable performances and Kanye West storming the stage. This year’s VMAs were no exception. Here are the six things worth knowing about.

1. Justin Bieber

The Biebster gets his own entry because of a) his hair and b) his salty, salty tears.

The young stars new ‘do is causing a visceral reaction even among his most ardent fans.

“i keep telling my mom how justin bieber looks disgusting every time hes on camera i wanna barf [sic, sic, sic],” one former Belieber put it eloquently.

Justin Bieber’s inspiration?

Others echoed her sentiments, employing other descriptors such as “vomit”, “throw-up”, “worse than Macklemore’s” and “like Donald Trump’s”.

Bieber wisely covered up with a trucker cap for his performance of his two new singles, but there were other head-scratchers related to that.

Such as, why did he fly? Newly filled with the Christian-chic spirit of Hillsong, the pop star rose in the air with his arms spread in blessing. Was he channelling the Holy Spirit? Also, why was he crying?

Some suggested the tears were because of the hair, but we can’t yet confirm. Other possibilities include his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez doing this during his emotional performance.

2. Rebel Wilson dropped her pants

Doing Australia proud, Rebel Wilson, age unknown, appeared onstage to present the Best Hip Hop Video award wearing a cop costume.

Just when we thought she might say something useful about police brutality in the US, or even something about the new NWA Straight Outta Compton film, she then stripped off to reveal a “Fuck Tha Stripper Police” t-shirt.

A social comment? Nah, just a bad joke.

“They come to your house. You think you’re getting arrested, and you just get a lap dance and it’s usually uninspired,” Wilson said.

“I hired a police stripper for my grandma’s 80th and he wouldn’t even feel her up…I hate this injustice, hence the shirt.”

Nicki Minaj and Rebel Wilson.

The crowd sort of tittered, and that was all those jokes deserved.

She then awarded the Moonman statuette to Nicki Minaj for Anaconda.

3. Nicki Minaj tried to start beef with Miley Cyrus

Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift confirmed that they are friends and aren’t mad at each other even though they exchanged 140 characters or less of “beef” last week, with a show-opening duet.

Duet seems like the wrong word. They did music together at the same time, anyway.

Doing music. Together.

Displeased with all the good vibes going around though, Minaj decided to “shade” hostess with the mostest Miley Cyrus.

“And now back to this bitch who had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. What’s good, Miley?”

WOAH! BEEF! SHADE! DISSING!

It could’ve been planned, but Miley did not seem prepared for this onslaught. She handled it with every famous person’s main skill: deflecting.

“We’re all in this industry. We all do interviews. We all know how they manipulate shit. Nicki, congratulations.”

Nicki Minaj calls out host Miley Cyrus.

She went on:

After that, Nicki continued to inform Cyrus that she is a bitch, only it appears the powers that be switched her mike off.

OH WEE!

The cause of this exchange? Last week, in response to Minaj’s complaint about her butt video Anaconda not being nominated for video of the year, Miley said this:

“What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It’s not very polite. I think there’s a way you speak to people with openness and love. You don’t have to start this pop star against pop star war… I know you can make it seem like, Oh I just don’t understand because I’m a white pop star. I know the statistics. I know what’s going on in the world. But to be honest, I don’t think MTV did that on purpose.”
