Alicia: “I Would’ve Preferred Lil’ Mama Stay In Her Seat”

By Danielle Cheesman September 16, 2009 3:07 pm

Alicia Keys MTV VMAs 2009Alicia Keys appeared on the “Today Show” this morning and though she was there to promote her new album and single, the hosts couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ask her about Lil’ Mama, and the incident that occurred just days ago at MTV’s Video Music Awards. Keys did her best to sidestep the question in the beginning – like when they hosts profess their love for the pint-size rapper, Keys simply says, “That’s nice” – but, she later admitted that she would’ve preferred Lil’ Mama show her appreciation for the “Empire State of Mind” performance in other ways.

    LOL @ Jasmine422 & GhettoIndia02.
    Jay-Z should correct Lil’ Ma that it’s not cool to improv someone else’s show and then forgive her young self. She hasn’t been in the business very long and surely she will learn from this embarrassing mistake. But in agreement with GhettoIndia02, I might have given her a little trip with my foot; Oops.

    Quite frankly, I didn’t see what the fuss was about. Although I am not a Lil Mama fan, what was her purpose or the major damage done? She was on stage less than a minute and really made herself look badly because neither of them acknowledged her. And at this stage of her career it was just a bad move, especially when she couldn’t contribute. As for the Swizz Beatz situation, I don’t understand why people don’t leave married men alone. If their marriage is in the process of ending, then let it end.

    I love the way she handled the interview. She could’ve gotten rude but the is not the way she handles things. About her and Swizz, noone knows how it happened, just like noone went on in Swizz and Mashonda marriage. We wouldn’t know if they were having problems way before he started seeing Alicia. We only see what is in the Media, other things are let private. The reason the Media is talking about Swizz and Alicia like this is because, Alicia likes to keep a low profile and doesn’t go to all the places that the paparazzi are hanging at. So, now they dug up something and running with it. All I have to say this: Ms. Keys you are wonderful at what you do and your are a great Humanitarian. Continue doing your thing and if he makes you happy then do you. Forget what everyone else says.

    Lil Mama said what can I do to get some attention I got it jump on stage on Jay and Ms Keys performance might help her sell some records now. Me I wouldn’t done it because I would have been like George Brett and s**t on myself I ate at del taco last night and got the runs it would have been a load of s**t on the floor.

    I agree with what Alicia said, while she didn’t say anything mean about the thing with Lil Mama jumping on stage like a clown and getting in the way of a terrific performance, she did keep it real for saying that she should of just stayed in her seat and caught her “moment”. Big ups to Ms. Keys for handling the question with style and grace like the lady she is!

    The Today’s Show interviewers were sneaky – Alicia told them that she had no comments. They came right back to the VMA subject after they got her to loosen up a bit. I’m glad that she was ready for them and didn’t quite lower her guard all the way; she gave a professional answer.
    I’ll tell ya – once you start talking to the media they can do you in or twist your words.

    I heard swizz got B.O., maybe now that he’s back on the dating scene, he, like most married men who no longer think it is important to hop in the shower because they have a wife, is bathing again.

    Maybe Swizz Beats wife would’ve preffered Alicia Keys stay out of her marriage. Also, you can help who you fall in love with. That serves as no excuse for someone being a homewrecker but like the saying goes “what goes around comes around”.
