Yesterday, Lil Mama wished Jay Z a happy birthday. The rapper turned 48 and received a lavish cake from the Brooklyn Nets. Lil Mama took to Instagram to deliver the B-day wishes to Hov.
The first picture showed the two appearing alongside each other in 2009 at the MTV Video Music Awards. "IM STILL STANDING WIT YOU ...HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOV", Lil Mama captioned the photo.
Many recall the moment when Lil Mama crashed the "Empire State of Mind" performance between Jay Z and Alicia Keys--on live television. Lil Mama has addressed the moment previously, saying that she was inspired by the two NY artists, especially as a young native New Yorker.
The second post was a picture of Jay Z in a suit. Lil Mama's follow up caption reads:
"My Last Post was Intended to acknowledge growth. That night, two of my hometown Heros felt disrespected and in return I felt neglected. However time heals all and give us the gift of hindsight (20/20 vision) where we can see things clearer, learn and grow from them.
Even having to overcome the scrutiny that came with my choices, I still find it in my heart to forgive and LOVE in Hopes That it is returned upon me. I recently watched Jay Z’s interview with The New York Times editor and chief and learned so much about forgiveness and pushing culture forward. I am inspired by your honesty, vulnerability and maturity. I’m ready for dialogue. Love You Jay... Happy Birthday"
