He continued, "What's most impressive isn't the endlessness of stats, awards and accomplishments – what's most impressive is the person." "She succeeds by being something in which no one in this industry does which is by being herself – the same girl from Barbados surrounded by the same friends. We love the videos which change their artistic vision from year to year. But most of all we love the woman who hasn't changed from day one."
Drake recalled first meeting Rihanna in 2005 at a Toronto dinner during a video shoot for her debut track "pon de Replay".
Riri later took the mic and spoke about her career, she said ..
"When I think about the Video Vanguard Award and receiving this tonight, all I can think of is my country," the Barbadian said. "They're gonna be so proud. This is the first Vanguard to land anywhere close to my country."
She opened up about her career, saying that it's about more than just herself.
"My success... it started as my dream, and now my success is not my own," she confessed. "It's my family's, it's my fans', it's my country's, it's the Caribbean's as a whole, it's women's – I have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over."
After the speech she shared a kiss with Drake before leaving the stage.
