Canadian Rap Star Kardinal Offishall Wins Big At MuchMusic Awards
Canadian lyricist Kardinal Offishall captured three awards Sunday (June 18) at this year’s MuchMusic Video Awards.
The rapper received five nominations and took home the awards for best video and best director as well as the VideoFACT award.
"This is real good right here. This is for all my Hip-Hop people from east to west," said Offishall. "It's funny, though, that I'm not in the best Hip-Hop category.”
The victories capped off a night of surprises at the annual event, which took place in downtown Toronto.
Offishall was greeted with cheers when he arrived at the Awards in a red fire truck. "We have to do everything in style, you know," said the Toronto-based rapper.
British Columbia pop rock band Hedley arrived on the red carpet in a white police van, complete with women dressed in miniskirts and heels who played police officers.
The group continued to surprise fans when they pulled their pants down to reveal Hedley tattoos on their backsides.
Celebrity attendees included Paris Hilton, Tori Spelling, Nick Lachey and Rhianna, who won the award for best international artist. Nelly Furtado and Timbaland were among the performers on the outdoor stages along with rock groups Simple Plan and Fall Out Boy.
