Honestly, what is in the NYC water last night? An EPIC performance by Jay-Z & Alicia Keys was ruined at the very end when Lil’ Mama decided to unexpectedly join the two on stage. Kanye must have been so happy she commited such an act of stupidity that it took a bit of attention off of his tactless move earlier in the evening. No really, WTF was she thinking? (skip to the 5 minute mark for the surprise appearance).
Shout out to StreetKnowledge!
***UPDATE – What Jay-Z Really Thought of Lil’Dumbass Jumping on Stage***
Apparently MTV did some editing when Lil’ Mama took her “place” on stage along side Jay-Z and Alicia Keys when they were performing “Empire State of Mind”. Thanks to Sean (one of our beloved readers) who provided a YouTube clip of Jay-Z saying to Lil’ Idiot “You T-Pain-ing now huh?” SMH… (skip to the 2:30 mark)

I have no idea what went through her head…it’s not like Nas came out at the very end…or some other NYC hip hop legends, just to rep NY…it was Lil’ Mama…she must have been sharing Kanye’s Hennesey…
Like Jamie Foxx & T-Pain say…
I really can’t believe what Lil’ Mama did. This shit is just inexcusable. I know she’s a kid and all but seriously, who the hell does she think she is? Jay-Z should have really pushed her off to the side, but I digress.

Jay doesn’t seemed as bothered as I thought looking at that clip. Let me add it to the post. Thanks Sean!
He was trying to be polite in front of the millions watching. he was pissed when he got backstage.
