Rihanna and Drake are bound to cross paths during the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. Following a year when both singers pushed the boundaries of their sound by mixing in even more dance and R&B flavor, the pair lead all nominees at this year's awards with five nods each.
Rihanna, in fact, has two chances to take home the night's biggest prize, as she's up for Video of the Year for her solo hit "We Found Love" and her duet with Drizzy on his "Take Care." This year's show will air live on September 6 at 8 p.m. EST from the Staples Center in Los Angeles and feature performances from four-time VMA veteran Alicia Keys and VMA first-timers One Direction.
So she's still gonna win the awards for the collaborations if they win, just for the sake of the article they are numbering solo noms. They've always given the award to all collaborators in the past, so it doesn't make sense that they'd change it this year lol.

I seriously can't understand most of the nominations..e.g. how is "Boyfriend" a very good video? Or Starships and Love On Top? And none of Lana's videos being nominated
Rihanna is DEFINITELY performing her new single. Unless she pulls a Gaga circa. 2010 and attends the show looking amazing and just picks up her awards.
at the triple treat not being nominated for anything (GaGa, Britney, Madonna). They'll come for you, MTV.
Congrats for all your nominations, RiRi.
At least Demi (Best Video With Message) & Selena (Best Female Video) got nominated. I doubt that they'll win. But i'm still proud with them being nominated.
