Jay-Z Says Lil Mama Was 'Out of Line'

Jay-Z didn't say much then, but he was livid after Lil Mama (who?) jumped onstage while he performed with Alicia Keys at the MTV Video Music Awards.

In an interview with Hot 97's Angie Martinez, Jay-Z says he was "angry" with the interruption especially after putting in so many hours of preparation.

"Me, personally, I would never do that. I would never have the nerve to do that. It's just like, someone's up there performing... We went through rehearsals, we did run-throughs and we worked really hard at the performance to put on a show for people and to interrupt that moment for us, you know, I don't think that was the right thing to do....I actually thought it was the equivalent of what Kanye did to Taylor Swift but nobody really talked about that because I'm not a little sweet girl from the middle of America. And I'm cool with her (Lil Mama) being excited and all that but you have to understand, people put in work to make that performance happen, that took weeks the planning of it. If you look at those screens, we had to go to Yankee Stadium to shoot that live, there was a lot of planning. To disrupt that was out of line. I was a little angry to be honest, but what do I do, fight Lil Mama?"

Yes, fight her! Or let Sasha fight her.

Jokes.
