Busta Rhymes set it off as he performed at the MTV VMAs on Sunday night.

Before accepting the inaugural Rock The Bells Visionary Award, Busta busted out his songs “Gimme Some More,” “Touch It,” and “Pass the Courvoisier,” with guest appearances by Joyner Lucas, Papoose, and GloRilla.

Busta thanked his mother and father and gave a special tribute to late MTV VJ Ananda Lewis.

He said, “I think we all need to acknowledge the incredible woman that loved us very much when we came to MTV during the ’90s. An incredible woman that loved me, she loved us, she loved the culture. She lifted us up. I love her very much, I miss her very much. The late, great, incredible royal empress Ananda Lewis.”

Busta wrapped up his speech by saying, “The blessings don’t stop, so we don’t stop, baby!”
