1. Flavor Flav gifts Jordan Chiles a bronze clock and Olympic prize money

Flavor Flav graced the stage as an outspoken Team USA fan at the 2024 MTV VMAs alongside Olympian Jordan Chiles to present the first award of the night for Best Collaboration. Taylor Swift and Post Malone took home the Moon Person for their hit Fortnite.

Addressing the recent news that Chiles had been stripped of her gymnastics bronze medal, the rapper gifted her a bronze clock necklace along with an offer to pay the prize money she would have received as a third-place finisher.

“And guess what else, too,” Flav said on stage. “I got your prize money… I just wanted to surprise you with that. I didn’t want to say anything to you backstage.”

“But Jordan, you did your thing,” he told her. “Congratulations. You deserve everything.”

2. Taylor Swift and Post Malone share a sweet acceptance speech

The most loved duo of the year, who broke music records with their collaboration on the song Fortnight, took home the first Moon Person of the Night for the mentioned track.

“There is a very clear reason why Post Malone is everyone in music’s favorite person to collaborate with,” Swift began, before addressing him directly: “It is because you are so ridiculously talented. You are so versatile, and you’re the most down-to-earth person.”

Malone reciprocated the sentiment, calling Swift “one of a kind” and admitting that he was at a loss for words. He acknowledged her incredible work and expressed that it was an honor to know her.
