Alicia Keys stopped by The TODAY Show Wednesday to promote her new single and subsequent album and chatty hostess Kathie Lee and Hoda quickly turned to Lil Mama’s WTF stage crashing at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards.

“We Can Appreciate Her Being Overwhelmed & Inspired, But We Would’ve Preferred She Did It From Her Seat,” the multiplatinum-selling singer said.

(Shots Fired!)

In an interview with MTV News on Tuesday, Mama claimed an “adrenaline rush” caused her to onstage uninvited during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ performance of “Empire State of Mind.” The Brooklyn native says she never intended to disrupt the show.

“I’m sitting in my seat two rows away from the stage, and Jay-Z is walking through this tunnel and just, like, this adrenaline rush is pumping [through me],” Lil Mama explained to MTV News on Tuesday. “He started [rapping], and Alicia Keys is going, ‘The big lights will inspire you,’ and really, I got emotional. Yeah, New York! Jay! I started to feel him, and I started to feel myself. I just felt the energy, and I got up and started walking to the stage. I was just rooting him on as a champion. Bigging up my borough, bigging up my brother.”

The America’s Best Dance Crew judge has since apologized, and insists she didn’t realize Hov and A. Keys may not have appreciated her surprise appearance.

“If in any way Jay-Z or Alicia Keys feels offended, I want to apologize to both of you,” she told MTV News. “I actually would love to have a one-on-one, because I actually felt like I was being felt [for my actions]. I felt like there was a bond. I didn’t get a chance to hear what was coming out of [Jay-Z's] mouth. I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful. I was just feeling it, and it happened at a moment which happened to be the VMAs, so it was ‘wow.’”

“I [only] wanted to support Jay, I wanted to be a supporter,” she added. “I wanted to stand up with him and tell him he was doing it.”
