In typical fashion, Måneskin had one of the wildest performances of the show, so wild that a lot of the performance had to be censored during the live broadcast. Other performers on the night included some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Nicki Minaj, Blackpink, Bad Bunny, Panic! at the Disco, Fergie, Lizzo, Jack Harlow, Eminem and Snoop Dogg.


Måneskin continue their world domination! Tonight's win along with their MTV "Best Rock" award from the 2021 MTV European Music Awards held Budapest last November makes them the most awarded Italian act in MTV history.
