Lil Mama’s Stage Incident: A Detailed Look
Originally posted on October 12, 2009, the incident involving rapper and choreographer Lil Mama during the MTV Video Music Awards has been a topic of debate. Initially, Lil Mama defended her actions, claiming she got caught up in the excitement of the moment, but further evidence from the night suggests otherwise.
Beyoncé’s Attempt to Stop Lil Mama
In the video footage of the event, it’s clear that Beyoncé noticed Lil Mama approaching the stage and tried to intervene to prevent her from going on stage. Beyoncé’s attempt to stop the rapper from interrupting the performance shows that she was aware of the potential disruption this would cause, especially to Jay Z and Alicia Keys’ performance.
The Aftermath of the Incident
The interruption further discredits Lil Mama’s claims of innocent excitement, as it appears that Beyoncé made an effort to avoid escalating the situation. Word soon spread that Jay Z, visibly upset by the disruption, was furious backstage. Sources claim he angrily questioned the whereabouts of security and expressed his frustration with the lack of control over the situation.
Lil Mama’s Unsuccessful Attempts to Reach Jay Z and Alicia
In the aftermath, Lil Mama publicly stated that she had made several attempts to contact Jay Z and Alicia Keys in order to apologize for her actions. However, reports indicate that her calls were not returned, leaving her in a difficult position. Given the circumstances, it’s understandable why they may not have been willing to engage with her after the disrespectful interruption during their performance.
