Is It Just Us, or Were These Moments From the VMAs Too Cringeworthy to Comprehend?

Who isn't in awe of Cardi B's come-up? She has a Cinderella story of climbing the ladder in the hip-hop world, and she's so genuine! But they did her wrong with this intro business. I'm not sure if she wrote her lines, or maybe it was so last minute, they scrambled for something to say. But it all just fell flat, from the baby Kulture fake-out to the awkward jokes about her light bill. It felt so anticlimactic compared to all the hype built up about her opening the show.
