Kanye’s Bullet Proof Vest, Nicki Minaj’s Raunchy Performance & More Highlights from the 2015 Billboard Music Awards
We’ve seen the red carpet photos of the fab guests at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards (click here if you missed it) and now it’s time for the highlights.
There were several noteworthy moments in this year’s BMA’s – from Kanye West performing in a bullet proof vest, to Nicki Minaj’s raunchy performance and more. There were lovely stage collaborations like John Legend and Meghan Trainor…there were also other collaborations that we were looking forward to like the cast of Empire; Jussie Smollett, Estelle and Bryshere Y. Gray.
Pitbull and Chris Brown also had a lovely performance while Wiz Khalifa performed ‘See You Again’ with a resounding applause from the audience.
Hosts of the night, Chrissy Teigen and Ludacris sure got people laughing with their jokes and amazing chemistry.
There were also notable wins at this year’s event with Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, John Legend and many more taking home coveted awards.
The roaming cam also gave us an eyeful with this year’s couples – Jennifer Lopez & Casper Smart, Taylor Swift & Calvin Harris, John Legend & Chrissy Teigen and more.
Check out the fab photos below.

Dear Bells Naija, you do not use getty’s images and but your logo over then. If gives the illusion that you own the images and have rights to them. Maybe you guys are trying to get sued. Please do better

With the exception of Meghan Trainer and Kelly Clarkson,every lady who performed looked raunchy and hoochie! Which kain nonsense be this?And the males who performed with scantily dressed dancer,i mean this doesnt even make sense.
The kids of nowadays just dont stand a chance…It takes the help of Jehovah to guide them to know and do what right..

I do not understand why some women have to show soo much skin. I know and i agree everyone should be free to express themselves in whatever way they want as long as it doesnt endanger others. But the craze for half nakedness is alarming particularly for ladies. Why is this?
