2019 VMAs: Should Michael Jackson be associated with the Video Vanguard Award?

Yahoo Entertainment hit the red carpet for the 2019 VMAs and asked several artists and celebrities about Michael Jackson, specifically the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. The award, renamed in Jackson’s honor in 1991, is handed out annually to exceptional artists. But the 2019 HBO documentary “Leaving Neverland” revisited allegations of sexual abuse against Jackson, making his association with this award controversial for many. But for the most part, red carpet interviewees responded by separating Jackson’s talent and body of work from these claims.
