Rihanna performed "Cockiness (Love It)" at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards Thursday night with a twist. Dressed in all-red everything, she welcomed Harlem, N.Y., rapper A$AP Rocky to the stage for the remix. The pop star also showed off her short bob, her backup dancers were stunning in gold and Rocky kept it casual.

While singing the tail end of his verse, the rhymer managed to grab some of Rihanna's tail too. Rocky squeezed her backside and the Bajan beauty playfully pushed him away. Hopefully Chris Brown didn't witness his fresh actions.

The 24-year-old entertainer then segued into her hit song "We Found Love," after which Nicki Minaj tried to let the songstress know she had lipstick on her teeth by motioning with her hands. Good to know the Young Money MC has Rihanna's back.

I loved watching Rihanna open the VMA’s this year, I especially liked her attire more this year than year’s past. I love the types of things that can happen on live award shows, like Niki Minaj gesturing to Rihanna about the lipstick on her teeth. This year’s award show gave me and my Dish coworkers a lot to talk about. This is why I’m glad I recorded it on my Hopper, because when I played back the recording I was able to start watching on my living room TV and then continue watching where I left off on any TV in my house. I love being able to move from room to room while I watch.

You told me I could get my "favorites" transferred to my MAC if I downloaded the "AOL Desktop for MAC" which I did. Guess What? I still DO NOT SEE "MY FAVORITES"
So I do not think you helped me at all.

This twit "A$AP" spells his name with a dollar sign just like "Ke$ha". Well just like all of the other hip hop rap and pop "stars" the ONLY reason they are in the music busniess is to make the all mighty dollar. Look at all of them with gold chains BIG expenisve cars,ect.ect.ect.

Wow. Is it enough hate in here? First off it would not matter if she was the biggest hoe on the planet. That does not give anyone the right to touch her without her permission. If that was your mother ,your girl, or your daughter would you feel the same way. I bet not and I bet in that same order that they are some of the biggest hoes you would ever meet. Or better yet it's ok for a dude to get love like that and get praise. GET REAL. Two how does anyone know that that wasn't part of the show. Just letting the media dictat to you huh. Three she can do what she wants who are any of you to judge. Last time I checked walking on water was still impossible. Four if half of you had the money, body, or looks you would most likely act worse. If it turns out that Asap's affection was not part of the act then shame on him and keep it moving. also one could say the same for all the wack *#@ rock,metal,boy band and pop singers that putting them on a sinking ship would be a good start too. Thats why there are genre. PICK ONE AND GET OFF HIP HOP'S BACK. We genrate the most income, create the most jobs, and stay at the top of the charts. What are your kids listening to? Yeah thats what I thought.

What are we listening to, music for starters. Not a genre that provokes hate towards women, police, white racisim, and anything else that aint them. Oh I forgot, it isn't racism if it's coming from a black. It ain't PC yo.

What do you call it if you take ASAP Rocky, Lil Wayne, and al those other "so called" entertainers and put them on a sinking ship? A GOOD START.
