Chris Brown’s VMA performance was, by all accounts, one of the highlights of the night, and one that left most people in the crowd on their feet.
Jay-Z is not most people, however.
Everyone from Kanye West to Justin Bieber stood up and cheered, but Jay-Z just sat there expressionless, not even smiling as Brown did his thing.
Of course, Jay has other things on his mind – what with Beyonce pregnant and all – but he remains tight with Rihanna, a singer he made famous.
Think his decision not to applaud (around the one-minute mark) was motivated by some lingering animosity? Or is Jay just too cool? Or maybe tired? You tell us …
