Woo-hah, Busta Rhymes was having none of that social media trolling nonsense during his recent appearance at Art Basel Miami Beach. When an unidentified content creator, during a supposed fan encounter, mistakenly identified him as Tracy Morgan, the "Break Ya Neck" rapper wasn't amused. In fact, he swiftly shut down the exchange with a frown and a stern, "Wait, what'd you say?"
The prankster, trying to pass the blame to a nearby friend in the video published by TMZ on December 8, only made Busta's response more pointed. "I'm asking you a question, I ain't calling you out. I don't understand," the 53-year-old rapper continued. "That's the only way I can understand, by asking questions. I was taking a picture to show you love, but you trying to be funny?"
Busta, real name Trevor George Smith Jr., didn't accept the TikToker's excuse that "everyone was saying Tracy." "I didn’t hear nobody say Tracy," he told the jokester. "You the only one who said it." Scolding the troll for acting "stupid," Busta added, "You don't play with a grown man, little boy. That's how people get f--ked up."
But that wasn't the only tense confrontation from Busta that night. In another video published by TMZ on December 9, the 12-time Grammy nominee had heated words for content creator Giovanni Arnold, who told him to "stay Black" while asking for an autograph. "You a clown now, too?" Busta snapped back. "What the f--k do you mean 'stay Black'?"
After Giovanni, who creates content under the moniker GTV Reality, explained it was his "slogan," Busta added, "I don't know that slogan. Don't say that to me. I'm not joking with you." The rapper's response was as fierce as ever, showing no tolerance for any form of disrespect or misbehavior from those who thought they could play with him.
