Snoop Dogg Hosts 2026 MTV VMAs, Roasts Madonna in Monologue
Snoop Dogg hosted the 2026 MTV VMAs and joked that Madonna is no longer a virgin, while listing her among his favorite people.
Snoop Dogg took the stage as host of the 2026 MTV VMAs, opening the night with a monologue that aimed straight at one of pop's biggest names. The rapper joked that Madonna is no longer a virgin, a nod to her enduring hit "Like a Virgin."
He didn't stop at the punchline. Snoop went on to name Madonna among his favorite people, a list that also included Taylor Swift, Shaboozey, Lisa, Bruno Mars and Raye.
The hosting gig, he said, came together in stages. Snoop explained he was first asked to host when the show was planned for a different city, and only later learned it would be held in Los Angeles.
Madonna's presence at the VMAs is a familiar one. She has won seven awards at the ceremony over the course of her career. Offstage, she began dating Akeem Morris in 2024; the two first crossed paths in an August 2022 Paper magazine cover story.
