The Seattle rappers, who had a huge night at the VMA’s winning the “Best Hip Hop Video” for their follow-up to “Thrift Shop” single entitled “Can’t Hold Us,” also took home the VMA for “Best Video With A Social Message” for their “Same Love” music video.

The Seattle rap-duo gave an acceptance speech stating that their win stood for a lot more than their other nominations.

The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards were held at the Barclays Center Arena in Brooklyn, New York.
