I’ll always remember that in 2002, MTV lied to Michael Jackson to gain viewers & boost their ratings by inviting him to the VMA’s to receive the “Artist of the Millennium" award. Then they tried to gaslight us by calling it a “misunderstanding” & mocked him at the ‘03 VMA’s.

On August 29, 2002, during the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, a segment marking Michael Jackson’s 44th birthday became one of the most widely discussed moments in the show’s history. Britney Spears introduced Jackson on stage as the “artist of the millennium” during a birthday tribute organized by MTV. She presented him with a cake and a decorative statuette as part of the celebration. Jackson, appearing to believe the presentation was a formal honor, gave an emotional acceptance speech in which he thanked his family, fans, and God while reflecting on his career. However, there was no official MTV “Artist of the Millennium” award. The segment was intended as a birthday tribute rather than a competitive or formal award presentation, which led to confusion. After the segment, host Jimmy Fallon made light of the moment during the broadcast. He joked about the idea of the award being widely given out backstage, saying, “I’d like to accept the Artist of the Millennium award myself. I guess they’re giving them backstage… everyone’s getting them.” He also commented on Jackson’s appearance, saying, “Hey, Michael Jackson looks great for 44, doesn’t he?” — a remark that some viewers felt added to the awkwardness of the situation. He was later seen crying in his car on the way back to the hotel. According to his longtime makeup artist and friend Karen Faye, Jackson had been reluctant to attend but was persuaded after being told he would receive a significant award that night.
