They go together like peanut butter and jelly, and this year Kanye West will return to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards for the seventh time.

Proudly making the announcement, MTV said that the "New Slaves" singer "[W]ill triumphantly enter the history books by tying Madonna as the artist with the most VMA performances.”

On August 25th, the 36-year-old rapper heads to Brooklyn's Barclays Center to belt out "Black Skinhead" for the local and television audience.

In addition to Kanye's anticipated time on stage, Lady Gaga will also debut her new single from her upcoming ARTPOP album, "Applause," at the event.
