Busta Rhymes, 53, confronted a content creator for calling him another celebrity’s name while posing for a picture. The “Break Ya Neck” rapper was taking pictures with fans at an Art Basel event in Miami on Sunday when a TikToker laughed as he called him former Saturday Night Live star Tracy Morgan’s name in what appeared to be a prank. Rhymes’ smile faded as he shot back, “Wait, what did you say?” and asked him to “turn the cameras down.” The TikToker, who was not named in reports, went red in the face as he tried to respond. The record producer eventually asked him, “I’m taking a picture to show love, and you’re trying to be funny?” The kid tried to deflect blame, claiming he heard others in the crowd call him Tracy Morgan. “I didn’t hear nobody say Tracy,” Rhymes responded. “You the only one who said it.” The legendary rapper then confronted him more harshly. “You don’t play with a grown man, little boy. That’s how people get f--ked up,” he said, adding, “Don’t play stupid.” Despite not appreciating the gag, Rhymes has shown genuine admiration for Morgan in the past—he even attended the comedian’s 2018 premiere of The Last O.G.
