Rihanna wants YOU to vote for her at this year's VMAs.

The 2012 VMAs are rapidly approaching (Green Day, Pink, One Direction, and a bunch of other amazing people are performing!!), and Rihanna really wants you to vote for her! Rihanna, who is nominated for a whopping FIVE VMAs, recently appealed to her devoted Rihanna Navy with this photo urging them to vote, tweeting: "Pretty Please." With a cherry on top and maybe a one-on-one lunch date with you? Cause that'd be motivation enough for me. In a totally non-weird, besties kinda way.

And let us not forget, Rihanna's up for some of the night's biggest prizes! Her smash "We Found Love" is up for Video of the Year along with her duet with Drake on "Take Care." Rihanna will also battle for Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and possibly get on the board in a number of professional categories, including Best Choreography and Best Visual Effects. Guys, Rihanna is asking YOU for a favor! When's that ever gonna happen again? Don't say no.

Don't miss the 2012 MTV VMAs live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, Sept. 6, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Go to VMA.MTV.com now through Aug. 24 to vote for your favorites, or text BNA to 22444 to vote for Best New Artist all the way through the show!
