Lil Mama is a judge on America’s Best Dance Crew and she’s loving every minute of that, but she’s also well known for something totally different.
Danni Starr had a chance to chat with the rapper about the night she crashed the VMA performance of Jay Z and Alicia Keys, who were in the middle of Empire State of Mind when she stormed the stage in 2009.
In her opinion, that moment separated her from a lot of people. She’s not in denial, she knows she likely ruined the moment for Jay Z and Alicia. She is sure of one thing– the apology she made to them was genuine and she claims to have learned so much from that misstep.
She recalls trying to get Beyonce to go on stage with her, but the R&B artist thought it was a bad idea–even pulling on Lil Mama’s arm in an attempt to stop her.
It took some time but Lil Mama can now laugh at the once embarrassing story and has taken full ownership of the infamous stage crash.
