Busta Rhymes' Bold Move at the VMAs

Busta Rhymes turned heads and raised eyebrows at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards after-party with his audacious antics targeted at Mariah Carey. Fresh off winning the Rock The Bells Visionary Award, the rapper took to the microphone to offer Carey some cheeky remarks that quickly became the talk of the night.

A Playful Proposal

On September 7, during the lively after-party, Busta didn't shy away from making his intentions clear. He cheekily declared, “Mariah Carey, we are gonna start right there. You ain’t got a husband no more. I wanna hump on your leg.” Not stopping there, he doubled down, adding, “I wanna hump on your leg, Mariah Carey! You ain’t got no husband no more, ain’t no fiancé’s around. Let me hump on your leg like an old, nasty dog.”

“Busta has a way of lighting up the room with his humor,” said a fellow partygoer. “It was all in good fun!”

The crowd reacted with a mix of laughter and shock as Busta fully embraced the moment with his signature grin. Mariah's immediate reaction remains somewhat mysterious, but it seemed she gestured back, possibly with some playful banter of her own.

A Night to Remember

The playful exchange was just one highlight of an evening filled with star-studded performances. Earlier, Mariah Carey delivered a powerful medley featuring her iconic songs like “Sugar Sweet,” “Fantasy,” and “Obsessed.” Her stellar performance was followed by a special moment as she received the prestigious Video Vanguard Award from Ariana Grande, her collaborator on the "Yes, And?" remix.
