The 2025 MTV VMAs were full of big moments, but the after party had its own headline: Busta Rhymes caught everyone’s attention when he jokingly shot his shot at none other than Mariah Carey, saying, “Let me hump your leg.” The legendary rapper delivered the line in classic Busta fashion—playful, bold, and full of energy.
It all went down after Mariah Carey was honored with the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, celebrating her decades-long impact on music and visual storytelling. The icon made a rare appearance and was met with love and respect from across the industry.
While Busta’s moment sparked laughs and viral reactions online, it also reminded fans of their long-standing friendship—remember, they teamed up back in the early 2000s for their hit "I Know What You Want", which became a massive success on BET and TRL.
