Some More VMA Foolishness…Lil’ Mama Crashes Jigga’s Performance

Lil Mama, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys at the 2009 Video Music Awards on Sunday

Jay-Z keeps his cool in even the most awkward situations. On Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards, rapper and "America's Best Dance Crew" judge Lil Mama came onstage during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' performance unannounced and uninvited.

While Jay was ending his final "Empire State of Mind" verse, Mama came up from her seat in the crowd onto the stage and started bobbing her head to the beat. Jay looked surprised but continued to bop to the beat and even kept rapping. Hov patted Mama on the leg to fall back and even threw in a quick joke, saying, "You T-Paining right now," while Keys finished her chorus. The line refers to T-Pain jumping onstage with Jay-Z at Summer Jam during his "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" performance. While Pain said he was asked to get on with the Jiggaman, Jay said in interviews he had no idea the singer was coming out with him.
