Lil Mama Was ‘Hurt’ & ‘Depressed’ Over 2009 VMAs Performance Backlash

Lil Mama became a laughing stock after she crashed Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ 2009 performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.

When Lil Mama hit the stage, both Jay-Z and Alicia Keys ignored her, and to this day, people still bring up the performance.

She was asked about the performance during an interview with The Jay Hill Podcast.

“I had to deal with Ed Lover on the radio in the morning, Wendy Williams, Angie Martinez, who talked to Jay, and he was just like, ‘Yeah, you know. I didn’t like it.’ He was so angry and I was just trying my best to do everything I could do,” she said.

Lil Mama said she had to learn to forgive herself.

“After a while, I was like, ‘Forgive yourself, bro. Move forward,'” she continued. “Bro, I was hurt. I was depressed. I was like, ‘Yo, what’s going on?’ And then you got everybody telling you, ‘You’re doing bad.’ People pointing at you, like, ‘What did you do?’”
