Jay Z MTV VMA Chris Brown

Jay Z MTV VMA Chris Brown. Chris Brown got raving reviews for his impressive performance at the MTV Video Music Awards 2011, but one person in the audience seemed quite unimpressed by it. Jay-Z refused to clap at the end, report says.


TMZ has video of Jay-Z’s reaction at the end of Brown’s performance, when the entire audience was already giving him a standing ovation. Jay wasn’t, obviously.

While he does show some form of appreciation for what he’s just seen by nodding his head as he’s sipping from his beverage, the fact that he didn’t get up could mean he’s yet to forgive Brown for what he did to Rihanna.

At least, that’s what TMZ seems to believe.

“It was the standout performance of the MTV VMAs – Chris Brown dancing his face off – but while everyone from Kanye to Bieber stood up and cheered… Jay-Z refused to even crack a smile,” the e-zine notes.

However, later on that same evening, after Jay and Kanye’s performance, it was Bieber’s turn to take sides, as he refused to even pretend he’d enjoyed what he’d seen onstage.

“Of course, Jay is the man who discovered Rihanna – and they’re still VERY tight. So, was his decision to NOT clap a message to Brown? Or is Jay simply too cool for the room?” TMZ asks.

In the video below, the e-zine also offers a possible answer: while Jay is still good friends with Rihanna and is therefore siding with her against Chris Brown, he is good friends with Bieber, which is why the latter refused to clap at the end of Jay’s performance.

It could be a “Hollywood feud” if Jay-Z actually cared about it, which he probably doesn’t.

Also at the Video Music Awards 2011, Jay’s wife Beyonce announced that they were expecting their first child, when the singer showed off her baby bump both on the red carpet and at the end of her live performance.

Reports in the press say that Beyonce is about 3 months along.
