Watch Future Nail 'F--k Up Some Commas' at MTV VMAs

Another very special MTV VMAs moment on Sunday: Future Hendrix hit the stage for the first time in the award show's history. 

It was no surprise that Future rapped "Fuck Up Some Commas" outta the park—he's been on the road with Drake on the Summer Sixteen Tour for the last month. His introduction, though, was surprising: Olympic multi-multi-multi–gold medalist Michael Phelps did the honors, explaining that that Rio 2016 meme of his face came courtesy of "Stick Talk" blaring in his ears. 

"There's no rapper today more inspiring than Future," Phelps said. "His optimism is right there in his name."
