Although he's still recovering from his leg injury, Fetty Wap made sure to work the stage, interacting with fans in his home state. The concert was the latest milestone in the rappers monumental year and comes only a week after his latest EP, For My Fans, dropped. Other notable Jersey MC's were backstage showing support from Naughty By Nature to Queen Latifah. It's a good week for Fetty Wap, he's also celebrating his first Grammy Nominations for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for "Trap Queen," despite being shut out of the Best New Artist Category. Elsewhere, hip-hop icon Busta Rhymes took to the stage to celebrate 25 years in the music business. Coming out in a Coming To America inspired King of Zumunda outfit, he ripped through his biggest hits and brought out a slew of guest, most notably Puff Daddy, Sean Paul and Mariah Carey who sang her hook from their 2002 hit "I Know What You Want."
