If you blinked, you probably missed it.

While Jay-Z and Kanye West were performing their new single Otis Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards, someone attempted to join in on stage and promptly removed by security.

The boys finished the song from their just released Watch The Throne album as if nothing had happened, and most spectators didn’t even notice the stage crasher, but you can check it out on RadarOnline.com at the 1:50 mark.

Kanye famously jumped the stage himself in 2009 while Taylor Swift was accepting her Best Female Video award, protesting that Beyonce deserved the honor.

The 34-year-old Chicago native apologized repeatedly to Taylor via Twitter, and even wrote a song for her, but it looks like karma caught up with him!
