Leading the pack with eight nominations, Kendrick Lamar opened up the 2017 MTV VMAs with an explosive performance.
And we literally mean “explosive:” He started out performing “DNA.” in a light-filled performance, flamed out in all-red everything. Then as he went into the second half of the song, he was backed up by a guy literally on fire.
He finished off his set with “HUMBLE.,” while more guys scaled a fence that was on fire. Watch the (literally) lit video below.
