A resurfaced clip reveals the awkward moment that Selena Gomez had to present an award to a rapper who posted 'disgusting' tweets about her online.

The clip, which is from the 2011 MTV EMAs, shows Gomez, now 32, presenting the award for Best New Artist to Tyler the Creator, alongside Twilight's Taylor Lautner.

But fans pointed out how awkward the moment was, due to some 'disgusting' comments the rapper had made about Gomez - who was around 18 years old at the time and dating Justin Bieber.

Sharing the throwback video online, one user said: "Never forget when Selena Gomez had to present Tyler the Creator the best new artist award at the 2011 EMAs after the disgusting things he openly tweeted about her."

The tweets have since been deleted, but included several sexually explicit remarks, including one which read: "Selena Gomez, I am going to f**k the s**t out of you."

Tyler later addressed the tweets in his song 'Manifesto', in which he said he 'didn't wanna offend her' and 'apologised' to Gomez when he saw her.

The song goes: "I was cancelled before cancelled was with Twitter fingers (Haha)/Protestin' outside my shows, I gave them the middle finger (f**k 'em) / I was a teener, tweetin' Selena crazy s**t / Didn't wanna offend her, apologize when I seen her / Back when I was tryna f**k Bieber, Just-in."

Tyler previously said in 2013 that he and Gomez 'don't get along', explaining to Power106 FM: “We don't like each other ‘cause I’m kicking it with Justin, like that's my homeboy.

"She always be mean muggin' me. Like why are you hating on me."

Reflecting on the moment, fans were horrified, with one writing on X: "I would’ve refused to say his name she’s better then me."

While another said: "That was definitely an awkward moment - Selena handled it with a lot of grace given the circumstances."

And a third added: "Selena handled that moment with true professionalism despite everything Tyler had said."

A fourth recalled: "That was definitely a memorable moment! Selena Gomez handled it with a lot of grace, especially considering the tweets Tyler, the Creator had made about her.

"The tension was palpable, but she managed to keep things professional on stage despite the awkwardness.

"It highlighted how complex celebrity interactions can be, especially when past comments come back into play."
