Der MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video gehörte zu den langlebigsten Kategorien der Verleihung. Er wurde mit der Erstverleihung 1984 eingeführt. 2007 wurde er im Zuge der Umstrukturierung der Awards für das eine Jahr in Male Artist of the Year umbenannt, firmierte aber schon 2008 wieder unter seinem alten Namen. 2017 wurde die Kategorie durch Artist of the Year ersetzt, die sich aus der Best Male- und der Best Female Video-Kategorie zusammensetzt.
Mit drei Gewinnen und insgesamt neun Nominierungen führt Eminem die Bestenliste an.
