United Kingdom, Sept. 8 -- Busta Rhymes honoured the late Ananda Lewis at the MTV VMAs on Sunday (07.09.25).

The Look at Me Now hitmaker received the first ever Rock the Bells Visionary award at the ceremony, and in his acceptance speech, the 53-year-old rapper praised the "incredible" VJ - who died of breast cancer in June - for her support in the early days of his career.

Referencing the fact he had never received a Moon Person statuette before, Busta said: "Y'all know I usually do these long speeches, I'm not gonna do one today. But next time y'all take 35 years to give me one of these, y'all gonna let me talk as long as I want! But let me get straight to it."

After thanking his loved ones, Busta then paid tribute to Ananda.

He sai...
