What is it with rappers trying to kiss popstars on stage at the VMAs?

First there was Drake's awkward attempt to kiss Rihanna while presenting her with the Vanguard Award. 

Then it was rapper G-Eazy's turn to be rejected on live television as he attempted to kiss Britney Spears during their performance of their song 'Make Me'.

Oh dear, that is painfully awkward and actually kind of creepy on G-Eazy's part. Especially if the pair had not romantic relationship before their VMA performance.
