Saweetiehad the last laugh!
During a now-circulating clip, she and co-host Dometi Pongo kicked off the pre-show, as he asked Saweetie how she was doing. After a brief exchange with Pongo, Saweetie stared at the camera without speaking for a couple seconds, when her co-host gave her a look to continue.
“Oh, I am so excited for tonight, too, and can’t wait to see the fashion on some of my friends,” she said in response. The clip has since earned over 30,000 likes on X,formerly Twitter, as of Tuesday night.
In another clip making its way around social media, Saweetie also slips up on her words, but smiles andbrushes it off like a pro.

Still, she wasn’t going to let a little slip-up stop her. When it was finally her time to speak again — this time presenting a performance from Stray Kids during the main show — Saweetie came prepared.
“Hey what’s up, y’all. It’s me again, and y’all better stop making my lil' stutter video go viral, I see what you’re doing,” she said. “Anyways, let’s try it again.” Her introduction went flawlessly the second time around.
On top of Saweetie’s viral moment and bounce back, the 2023 VMAs were a big night for women in rap. The event featured performances from Doja Cat,Megan Thee Stallionand Cardi B, and even Nicki Minaj, among others.
Minaj is also expected to return for another performance with some other rap heavyweights to honor the50th anniversary of hip-hop. Other performers Tuesday includedAnitta,Demi Lovato,Karol G,Olivia Rodrigo,Sean “Diddy” CombsandShakira.
