With an introduction by Olympic legend U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps, Lil Wayne and T-Pain performed a medley of hits; “Don’t Get It,” “A Milli” and “Got Money;” British pop star Leona Lewis joining them for part of the performance at the 25th anniversary of the MTV Music Video Awards (MTV VMAs 2008) on September 7, 2008.
In a battle of hip-hop and R&B stars, the Best Male Video crown went to Chris Brown for “With You,” beating out strong competition from T.I., Flo Rida, Usher and Lil Wayne. “Personally I didn’t think I deserved this award. I thought Weezy was going to get it,” said a humbled Brown.
But you knew you couldn’t hold Weezy down for long, as he was onstage a short time later to accept the Best Hip-Hop Video award for “Lollipop.” The always humble rapper had only three people he wanted to thank: “God, my family and y’all.”
Owning up to the biggest performance of his career so far, Weezy hit it running, commanding the stage shirtless and with his white pants sagging, performing a medley of hits from his smash Tha Carter III album, including “Don’t Get It” with Leona Lewis, a bit of “A Milli” and, joined by T-Pain — sporting at least his third different bedazzled top hat of the night — bouncing and stomping through “Got Money.”
