Busta Rhymes Crashes Mariah Carey’s VMAs After-Party Moment
Written by b87fm on 09/08/2025
Busta Rhymes knows how to keep the party wild. At a packed after-party for the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, the rap legend grabbed the mic and turned all eyes toward Mariah Carey — in a way that had the crowd buzzing.
Instead of sticking to the usual shout-outs, Busta went full-on bold, jokingly inviting Mariah to dance with him. Then he pushed it further, telling her: “You ain’t got no husband no more, no fiancés around. Let me hump on your leg, like a nasty dog.”

The room reacted instantly with gasps, laughs, and plenty of side-eyes. Mariah’s exact comeback wasn’t clear on camera, but she motioned toward Busta and shot something back, keeping the energy playful.
The moment only added to what was already Mariah’s night. Earlier at the VMAs, she received the Vanguard Award for her decades of impact on music and pop culture. Her medley — running through hits like “Sugar Sweet,” “Fantasy,” and “Obsessed” — shut the stage down and reminded fans why she’s still the voice.
At the after-party, though, it was Busta’s unscripted moment that had everyone talking.
