News: Kardinal Offishall Wins Big At The '06 MuchMusic Video Awards
Canadian emcee, Kardinal Offishall, was the big winner at this year's MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday, June 18 taking home three awards.
Going in, the rapper enjoyed five nominations and took home honors for best video, best director and the VideoFACT award for this song ""Everyday (Rudebwoy)."
"This is real good right here," said Offishall before accepting the awards. "This is for all my hip-hop people from east to west. It's funny, though, that I'm not in the best hip-hop category.
Not knowing he would be taking home the most awards, the rapper arrived in a major way, showing up in a red fire truck. He was greeted in loud cheers, letting him know it was a big hit.
"We have to do everything in style, you know," said the Toronto-based rapper.
But, it was Jacob Hoggard and the boys from British Columbia pop rock band Hedley who got the most attention on the red carpet, as they arrived in a white police van accompanied by women dressed in miniskirts and heels who played police officers. The icing on the cake, though, was when they pulled down their pants to reveal Hedley tattoos on their bottoms.
Aside from Offishall and Hedley, 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. www.ballerstatus.net
