"I think that it's funny she didn't have to say much, and the song spoke volumes about the visual," he added.

The video's male eye candy, Brandon Stoughton, got in on the collaboration as well. "They both took it very seriously. They're inventive. He would come up with ideas."

A whole slew of other winners won't be announced until the show airs on BET, on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.

Wayne said he was "thankful" during this award season, dating back to the MTV Video Music Awards in September. "The nominations already blow my mind," he said before the show. "By me winning the VMA — that was stupid. I already got the VMA at the crib."
