UPDATE: Jay-Z Compares Lil Mama To Kanye (AUDIO)
UPDATE: In an interview with NY radio DJ Angie Martinez, Jay-z finally speaks on Lil Mama jumping on stage during his VMA performance:
“I would never do that. I would never have the nerve to do that. We go to rehearsals, we do run-throughs, and we work really hard on the performance to put on a show for people. And to interrupt that moment for us, I don’t think that was the right thing to do.
I actually thought it was the equivalent of what Kanye did to Taylor Swift but nobody really talked about that because I’m not a lil sweet girl from middle America.
I’m cool with her being excited and all that, but you also have to understand people put in work to make that performance happen-the planning of it, there’s a lot of planning that went into that performance. To disrupt that is out of line.
“…To be honest, I was a little angry-but what imma do, fight Lil mama?”
Listen to Jay:
Take a look at Lil Mama below:
Lil Mama says she had no idea Jay-z was not feeling her presence on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards the other night.
She tells MTV:
“I was feeling it. I was definitely caught up in the moment. He was backing up and when I got home I realized he said “Oh So You gonna T-Pain it huh?”. I realize this now that I am home that he walked away. Now that I’m home, I’m like “wow, Jay-z wasn’t feeling that. Jay-z feels like I disrespected him as opposed to praising him. Respecting him, honoring him and sharing that moment with him. I would never get up there and try to disrespect Jay-z or take a moment that someone has created it and try to relive it. I’m too original for that and I respect him too much for that.
If in any way Jay-Z or Alicia Keys feels offended, I want to apologize to both of you. I actually would love to have a one-on-one, because I actually felt like I was being felt [for my actions]. I felt like there was a bond.
Watch the video below:
UPDATE: After getting caught up in the moment and jumping onstage with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys during their show-closing performance of the night, Jay’s “Empire State of Mind,” Lil Mama has issued an apology:
The rapper sent MTV News a statement via her manager explaining the incident.
“I did not mean any disrespect towards Jay-Z or Alicia Keys,” the statement reads. “I admire them and look up to them as role models. ‘Empire State of Mind’ had my emotions running high. In that moment I came up onstage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY.”
Lil Mama’s rep said she may have more to say about the situation later.
Mama was the talk of twitter last night for a few hours, Fabolous went in on Lil Mama, chiming in on his Twitter page. “#Lilmamais like the dude that parachutes down on the field during a game!” Fab tweeted. “#Lilmamais gonna get security at the stages of every award show from now on. #Lilmamais the bird that flew outta Lady Gaga’s nest on her face!!”
Here’s more from Fab’s twitter page:
Kelly Clarkson to Kanye: “I Don’t Like You”
Kanye West started a trend at last night’s VMA’s. He jumped on stage and crashed Taylor Swift’s party and before you could blink, Lil’ Mama did the exact same thing during Jay-Z’s performance with Alicia Keys.
At the tail end of Jay-Z’s performance, Lil Mama jumped on stage to get some air time only to have Jay shoo her away (watch the 5:10 mark), but she ignored the hint and instead struck a pose at the end.
Can we say SECURITY!!!!!

MixedLadii08
She had to get her 15 minutes SOMEWHERE!!! LOL!
That “Lipgloss” bullsh*t is was hot like what, 3 years ago?!?! LMFAO!
She was dead ass wrong for that, that was some one elses shine, and she just wanted to soak it up.
snivel
You know he gon try to do a song wit you now to look like a sweet boy, but youll be bigger and better respected if you reject it.
whyseman
pretti_chynkah Yeah…….. maybe I went hard , u might be right but still , I think she needed a V.I.P. pass to do what she did lol
pretti_chynkah
OHHH NOOOO!!!! WHY WOULD U SAY SOMTHING LIKE THAT? PEOPLE REALLY GO HARD!!! NIATIA AND I CAME FROM THE SAME HOOD IN BROOKLYN… I KNOW HER!!! THATS Y IM GOING HARD FOR HER!!! SHE MADE IT OUT, SHE WORKED HARD AND MADE HER WAY. WHERE WE FROM IT AINT EASY SHE CAME FROM A LOCAL GROUP CALLED “FAMILIAR FACEZ” SHE WAS RAPPIN FROM YOUNG.. THERES MANY YOUNG GIRLS WHO LOOK UP TO HER. CALLING “TALENTLESS” IS NOT CALLED FOR I RESPECT YOUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS I JUST DONT THINK U UNDERSTAND. BTW IF I WAS A SINGER AND I WAS REPPIN WHERE I WAS FROM AND U CAME ON STAGE UNINVITED AND WE FROM THE SAME PLACE!!! imma feel like im doing somthing right because if i can get u to feel that strongly about what im saying and how im reppin imma feel good that u came up to rep too.!!!!!
True Story….
whyseman
Pretti_chynkah , I read what you wrote but what do you mean by “It really that serious ” or ” She made a mistake ” Everybody makes mistakes , so everybody knows right from wrong , Lil mama cannot think effectively .It’s like someone kills an other person and then the person appoligises for his/her crime , there’s different level of mistakes and that mistake was unnecessary , why did she do that ? Is it because she needs attention , love , and respect ? like everybody but there’s a way to get it , she’s not smart enough to understand what’s wrong with her distraughted mind. That ain’t her song nor she was invited on stage , how would you feel if you were a singer and and I come up on stage uninvited ? I think she a taletless artist and she needs to go to school , get a good education , she needs to learn to be respectful ……………. bottom line I don’t give a f uck because I don’t know any of those people , I’m just expressing my thoughts …………..
pretti_chynkah
EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!! FALLBACK and CHILL……….
YALL ALL INTO IT EVERYONE GOT SOMTHING TO SAY! LEAVE THE THING B DAMN…. SHE MADE A MISTAKE SHE TOUGHT SHE WOULD BE EMBRACED BY THE MOMENT OF REPPIN NYC… YES IT WAS REHERSED AND THEY REALLY WANTED THE SHOW TO GO ACCORDING TO PLAN BUT DAMN WAS IT REALLY THAT SERIOUS? JUMP OFF HER D!@K!!
supa_flyy
omg when that s**t went down i was sooooo lost in the s**t.. that lil mama is
soooo weak man i dunno
24kglo_H2
well i’m a big Jayz fan and like he said they rehearsed to make sure they put on a good show and for someone any one to jump on stage just cause they were feeling his music i would have told her thru the mic get off the stage but it would have been in a rap style if fans start jumpin the stage then we will have a security problem. all i can say is if your not invited on stage keep your ass in your seat.
2tone
Ya’ll making excuses then wonder why we have no credibility.
LIl Mama is a grown woman, forget all that “I was caught up in the moment…” bs. I’m sure she wasn’t the only one that was feeling the performance but everybody else somehow had the self-control to not get up on stage.
Point blank, its an awards show, if you’re not giving away an award, getting an award, or aren’t a (scheduled) performer, sitcho self down, play your position and spectate. MTV shouldn’t have to hire babysitters to watch over grown adults, period.
MzBadAzzitGets
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A PART OF THE SHOW WHY HE TRIPPIN IF ANOTHER ARTIST IS FEELING MY S**T LIKE THAT AND THEY HOP ON STAGE IM FEELIN IT I WANT EVERY ARTIST TO HOP ON AND BE ROCKIN TO MY S**T IT MEAN IM THE S**T SO WTF HE NEED TO GET OFF THE GAS AND BE REAL SHE DIDNT DO NOTHING WRONG BUT LIKE THE MANS MUSIC HE WACK FOR SAY SHE DISRESPECTED…..LOL BE HE DID BACK UP I WOULD OF WALKED OFF RIGHT THERE INSTEAD OF POSING AND S**T DUECES****
sixfive6
she got on stage cause the engery that nite was crazy anybody would’ve done it that issue wit kanye west thats real disrepectful taking her shine like that cause she beat beyonce hes a coward at the awards next time do what u did to man cause if that was me u did that to i would’ve hit u so hard that u would’ve thought that u was in a car accident again word up u p***y no props for doing that to woman.
jo4murray
i agree wit “sweetnsexywitit”. lil mama made a mistake and she doesnt have to steal da spotlight from jay. alot of pple, im sure, loves her music. like lil mama said, shes too original 4 dat and she really ddnt mean to “share a moment wit her idol-rolemodel. i really dnt like jay-z music, i really dnt like him at all so i dnt thnk he done ne thng special. 2b honest, i thnk lil mama is a good as raper. she will go far and i hope she doesnt beat herslf up 4 his ass.
sweetnsexywitit
Jay Z is not God! For one! Even God forgives so that tells you something! She messed up she apologized get over it! Jay Z or Alicia is no better than her. By them so called being Icons they should had embraced her and at the same time told her that wasn’t cool and leave it at that. It’s not like she messed up the routine she went along with them like she knew what to do. Anyways They need to get over it. Jay acting like a lil Beaiii crying I worked so hard on that routine lol..Be adults and let it go! I’m pretty sure lil mama is beating her own azz with guilt. The last time I checked we all are human we make mistakes, Some greater than others. That’s apart of life you live and you learn.
doit4melb
I thought it was dumb that lil momma jumped up there in the end, but for real Jay it’s not that serious. I mean you a hard core rapper and you acting like a b*t_H about the situation. Get over it she didn’t destroy the show and artist do this all the time the rappers in the south do it and Will I am will quickly get up there. It was because she was feeling you everyone can see that whether it was dumb or not. If you are too big for artist now then get out you made your money chillax.
joedogg563
THAT WAS RIDICULOUS SHE SHOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH RESPECT. NOT TO DO NO S**T LIKE THAT AS AN ARTIST. JAY YOU SHOULD DIS’S HER IN A RECORD FOR ALICIA CAUSE SHE ALICIA. PUT IN THE WORK TO GET HER T.V TIME WITH THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE . I NEVER LIKE HER NOTHING PERSONAL BUT HER STYLE AN DELIVERY IS WHACK. AN SHE SHOULD STICK TO DOING DANCE SHOWS FOR RANDY JACKSON. AFTER BEING FINED FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT
shugaG
she was trying to steal some of the spotlight i wish he should have went hhood on her and pushed her lil ass off stage then she would have known she cant do that
flexin-n-sexin
I’m not a huge fan of jay z or lil mama but im lookin at the video like where did she come from I had to rewind to see. Mama was wrong she dont get respect like jay z or alicia lil mama is a lame
Sexiireddoo9
I DONT LIKE JAY Z BUT HE IS GOIN TO STRAIGHT MURDER HER WHEN HE HERE THIS
24kglo_H2
well, it wasnt ok she wasnt part of the performance and if she can get up there then fans will start jumpin on stage when they get ready grab the mic outta hand when they not happy you won and there favorite didnt it can get outta hand and be a security problem Beyonce tried to pull her back and she broke away from her and went anyway if his wife know better than to try and upstage him them she should have kept her seat. award shows after these stunts should step up security around the stage other wise folks can come up there and stab you or shoot you you never know after people been drinking before the entertainment gets started. LIL Mama needs to wait for turn and maybe JayZ will have her up there some day.
