Many legendary and popular artists hit the MTV VMA stage last night at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The fans were having a blast all night as every talent brought their own flare and excitement to their performances. One of those names was Lil Wayne, but he did not put on a show just once. Wayne graced the floor twice and it was well-deserved. The Louisiana native has not been in at the VMAs in over a decade. In particular, the last time he made an appearance was in 2012, according to Rolling Stone, to perform "Yuck" and "No Worries" with his buddy 2 Chains.
But, Wayne's return was a welcome sight for many, as he showed that he still knows how to get a crowd on its feet. The 40-year-old icon opened the show by first performing one of his more recent hits, "Uproar" off of the Carter V that features vocals and production from Swizz Beatz. In footage from HipHopNMore, the rapper comes down from a steel-looking staircase to greet the audience and tear it up with his background dancers.
