Prince Presents at the American Music Awards

Prince Presents the first American Music Awards of the night

[@artepjan]

To have Prince give you an award is a greater honor than the award itself.

[@scarlettbrown1763]

Absolutely!

[@nunka34ify]

You can tell he’s more excited to be in Prince’s presence than winning the award

[@marthacannondiagne5133]

Absolutely 🎸

[@99annanic]

Loved how The Weeknd slowed down his walk as if like “holy shit I’m about to receive an award from my idol”.

his idol is MJ. he always says it.

Prince is beautiful

[@melaniep6964]

Yes he is.❤️

[@sistagoldenhair1204]

Azaria 3121777 ....I miss him greatly.💜

[@chippy7745]

He looked pretty darn thin here. I think this was the final award he ever presented to anyone. We all miss Prince so much.💜

[@kalmia4066]

Isn't he! I stopped it at :13 and just stare at him, he's so gorgeous.

[@ariesthomas1326]

I love how the weekends whole demeanor changed once he walked up to prince that little fan boy in him came out😊 I love it and I just love how it was his moment and the first he did was acknowledge prince😆 prince just had that impact on people🥰✨

[@melodyal3357]

Prince was The JEWEL of the whole show! He coming and presenting the award was the only thing worth watching that night.

[@melaniep6964]

Prince had the coolest walk too!!❤️❤️

[@ariesthomas1326]

Yessss and the way his legs bend back when he stands😍😍😍

[@idkimjusthere8528]

This was a passing the torch moment, you can tell Prince was keeping his composure but was excited that The Weeknd won.

[@lonelystarboy]

Imagine Michael Jackson giving TheWeeknd an award 🔥🙏😞

[@farahkhan6218]

XOXXXOOOXO NO Ugh that would of been amazing 😩❤️

[@nshakthivelan3167]

😭😭😭💓💓 that would be amazing....😭😭❤️❤️💓💓

[@KnowledgeSeeker78491]

Prince giving it to him is just as good...do you even know who Prince was during the 80's Even The Weeknd had to acknowledge him before he said thank you for the award

[@KnowledgeSeeker78491]

And even to further push that point I made...btw my avatar used to be Prince from the cover of Purple Rain until my son changed my avatar kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKiyYpaOpZaHi9k

[@4o8sao]

that’d be the best achievement

[@artepjan]

I never saw anybody present an award with a guitar around him. 👌😎💜 Yeah, let's make some noise for Prince, the greatest of all time.

[@joanagalang9567]

1:35 Selena Gomez popping out! What a coincidence!

[@vinczemaria9928]

I was thinking the same lmao

You put W in the same category as Prince, seriously calling him legend? Muhahahhahaha🤣 You so funny🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sistagoldenhair1204]

My lifetime favorite artist passing an award to now my favorite living artist. Beautiful 💜💜 And if Prince didn’t like The Weeknd he wouldn’t have clapped at the reveal & he wouldn’t have gave him a cool fist bump. He would have given him side eye but this shows Prince respected him & that is the world to me.

[@horustim7132]

I can watch this over and over again

[@BarbaraGreene-b6h]

Prince and The Weeknd....OMG, I'm in awe!

[@dragonballz4998]

When u present an award with a guitar strapped to your back you are goat

[@miriamkatz908]

I came back to watch this because it’s so beautiful

[@eyoelgashaw5089]

1:37 she performed on his life that's for sure

[@thickboyenergy4523]

I don't know if anyone else noticed it but when they were presenting D'angelo, for whatever reason they played 'Slow Motion' by Trey Songz..

[@TheTentailsnaruto]

I was confused too lmao

[@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen]

I thought maybe D’Angelo may have been the original singer or something because I was so confused

[@judypayne5732]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that peeped that. I was like wtf 😂

What a co incidence SElena Gomez...popping out meant to be❤❤❤...

[@Katherine24246]

This is how you acknowledge a legendary artist who presents you with an award. Taylor Swift, who didn't acknowledge or even make eye contact with Celine Dion at the Grammys, should take notes.

[@johncantatore7986]

Lmao prince just gave the weeknd a fist bumb, he hugged alicia keys and big boi 🤣

[@amberharris3065]

I heard Prince stopped shaking men's hands because men's strong grip would fuck up his hand

[@Hamzethegoat]

Cause he knows them he never met The Weeknd but they linked up after this awards and Prince was supposed to be on The Weeknd song Secrets but unfortunately he passed away

[@Canela927]

Yep straight snub from the king of shade

2015 Prince made that comeback at the award shows man! then a year later they took him out on this day April 21, 2016, Paisley Park, Chanhassen, R.I.P!

Micheal Jackson is The Weeknd reincarnated. Mj and prince meet again

[@christophertracy2807]

Why is he wearing a guitar? It didnt look right to me and Prince always looked right to me since 1978
