Saweetie was quick to shut down an instance of virality in progress during Tuesday night's MTV Video Music Awards ceremony.

As those who watched the ceremony in real time are likely already aware, a pair of clips of Saweetie from the pre-show festivities started making the rounds. The focus, as seen below, was on Saweetie's apparent teleprompter difficulties.

Later on Tuesday night, Saweetie confirmed she was aware of what people were trying to do with the footage. Additionally, she advised such individuals to promptly cease their virality push.

"What’s up, y’all? It's me again," she said during the main broadcast. "And y’all better stop making my little stutter video go viral. I see what you doing."

Of course, a larger question here when it comes to the VMAs is, who exactly wrote whatever the night’s presenters and other talent were reading off the teleprompters? The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are both very much still in effect.
