00:00I can't believe I'm getting my first VMA tonight.

00:04I just have one question.

00:07What in the Sam Hill were you waiting for?

00:12In true diva fashion, Mariah Carey threw some shade at MTV

00:16while accepting the Video Vanguard Award

00:18by asking the legendary music channel

00:20what took them so long to hand her a single VMA.

00:24The 56-year-old singer quickly added that she's just kidding

00:28and told the crowd at UBS Arena,

00:30I love you every day, I love you so much, this is amazing.

00:34But there's definitely some truth behind Mariah's diss.

00:36Despite her decade-spanning, chart-topping career,

00:39Mariah had never taken home a single Moon Man

00:43until this year's VMAs when she took home two.

00:46One was the Lifetime Achievement Award

00:48and the other was for Best R&B Video

00:50for her new song, Type Dangerous.

00:53That said, she's been nominated several times

00:55over the 90s, 2000s, and none in the 2010s, but never won.

01:00Most recently, in 2022, she was nominated for Song of the Summer

01:05alongside Lotto and DJ Khaled for Big Energy Remix,

01:09which samples Mariah's number one hit, Fantasy.

01:12They lost that year to Jack Harlow.

01:14Ouch.

01:15But that all changed Sunday night.

01:17Mariah Carey is now the 37th artist to receive the Vanguard Award

01:21since its inception in 1984.

01:24And she's the 8th diva in a row to gain the prestigious

01:27gold-plated Moon Man, since Rihanna took one home back in 2016.

01:31In her acceptance speech, Mariah apparently took it all in stride, saying,

01:36After all this time, I've learned that music evolves,

01:39video evolves, but the fun?

01:41That is eternal.

01:42Her 16th studio album, Here For It All, is out September 26th.
