Busta Rhymes Publicly Shames Fan During Live Concert

Rapper Busta Rhymes stopped mid-show to confront an audience member who would not stop touching him, and a video of the exchange went viral online.

The woman continued reaching onto the stage to touch Rhymes, even after he slapped her hand away repeatedly, as seen in a video that was shared on TikTok. After she continued to reach toward him, Rhymes yelled “stop the music” and told her and other members of the crowd to “back up.”

“Ayo, shorty, you’re with your man, right?” Rhymes asked the woman, from the edge of the stage, as other performers joined Rhymes at the edge of the stage.

Rhymes turned to the man that appeared to be with her. “That’s your girl? What kinda s**t you on that you’re gonna let her continue to grab at me?” Rhymes asked the man, who just looked confused.

“See, I’m a grown man. I’ll f–k your girl, bro. I don’t want to f–k your girl,” Rhymes told him as the crowd cheered him on. “Tame your girl,” he told the man.

“This is a weird day, a weird time,” Rhymes continued. “She touched me and shit, y’all got them little funny ass camera phones [filming], and I don’t agree with that. She might do some police s–t. I’m not with it.” He finally told the man to “take your girl and tell her to stand behind you.”

People in the crowd pulled the woman away from the stage as he finished with, “stand behind your man, sweetheart.” People had various reactions to the incident, with some finding it funny, while others thought Rhymes went too far.

Rhymes has a history of telling it the way he sees it. In August 2021, he told an audience that “COVID can suck a d**k.” He was also one of the first people that got physical with an audience member who attempted to stab comedian Dave Chapelle in May.
