Top nominee Beyonce to perform at MTV Video Music Awards

Beyoncé is set to have a “Flawless” night at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The singer will perform at the August 24 show at The Forum in Inglewood, California. She leads in nominations with eight, including video of the year for Drunk in Love.

The 32-year-old will also receive the video vanguard award, a lifetime achievement honour also bestowed to Michael Jackson, Madonna and Britney Spears.

Beyoncé caused a stir last weekend when she released a Nicki Minaj-assisted remix to her song Flawless, where the singer raps and references the leaked elevator video of her sister Solange attacking Jay Z. Beyoncé’s collaborative tour with her husband wrapped its America dates on Wednesday. They will play two shows in Paris next month.

Other performers at the VMAs include Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, Usher and 5 Seconds of Summer.
