The Weeknd Dedicated His MTV Video Music Awards to Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor

There was something particularly poignant about watching singer Abel Tesfaye—also known as The Weeknd—cross the stage with his face bruised and bloody (from stage makeup, thankfully) to accept his awards at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards. Although he's worn this graphic look for months as promotion for his single "Blinding Lights," the fake injuries seemed all the more real as he called attention to the real-life violence against Black men and women in America."It’s really hard for me to celebrate right now and enjoy this moment," he told the audience.
