Busta Rhymes put a young content creator in his place when the kid trolled the rapper by calling him Tracy Morgan.
A clip of the incident, shared by TMZ, shows the creator meeting Busta over the weekend at an Art Basel event in Miami. The kid poses for a photo and points at Busta, saying, “It’s Tracy Morgan,” which sparked the Brooklyn native’s ire.
Busta’s smile immediately vanishes as he starts questioning the kid.
“Wait, what did you say?” Busta repeatedly asks as he directs the kid’s associate to cut the camera.
“Put your camera down,” the rapper and record producer says. “I’m taking a picture to show love, and you’re trying to be funny … You don’t play with a grown man, little boy. That’s how people get fucked up.”
“I’m asking you a question, I ain’t calling you out,” Busta adds. “I don’t understand. … That’s the only way I can understand, by asking questions,” he says, as the kid tries to explain.
“You was trying to be funny?” Busta says, prompting the kid to say, “Everyone was saying Tracy so I was saying Tracy.”
“I didn’t hear nobody say Tracy,” Busta responds, “You the only one who said it.” As the clip continues, Busta appears to scold the content creator.
Last month, the “Break Ya Neck” artist spoke about losing his pandemic weight and getting back to being at “peace” thanks to help from Pharrell and Swizz Beatz.
“You might talk to people about what you’re going through that you trust with that vulnerability, that actually will give you some incredible guidance because they really love and care about you,” Busta said of his friends. “They not going to stand by and watch you die.”
