G-Dragon became the subject of widespread attention following a rap performance prior to performing "Good Boy" with bandmate Taeyang. He raps: "It's been a year, MAMA. Because you set such a large table/awards, you hand it out generously so your children don't fight". Observers saw that the performance was meant to criticize the award committee for giving out awards to popular artists too easily, even when there are more technically qualified artists for the award.[13]
The reception of the performance was mostly positive. CNN Indonesia wrote that "2014 became an unforgettable MAMA event for K-Pop fans, especially Big Bang fans" when "G-Dragon openly satirized the award ceremony on stage."[13] In an article published by Yahoo! News Taiwan prior to the 2020 awards, an observer believed it to be one of the most legendary stages in MAMA history.[14]
