Legendary rapper Busta Rhymes recently slapped a woman’s hand away after she violated his personal space during his recent performance.
According to reports, Busta slapped the female fan’s hand as she tried to touch him while he was, ironically, performing his hit 2006 song “Touch It” at a concert. Video footage of the incident went viral on social media after it was uploaded to TikTok.
“Stop the music,” Busta was seen shouting to his crew in the TikTok clip. “Ayo, shorty, you’re with your man, right?” he then asked the concertgoer whose hand he smacked away from him.

Shortly after that, he scolded the woman, alleging that she touched him. However, he had done so by addressing her boyfriend.
“That’s your girl? What kinda s**t are you on that you’re gonna let her continue to grab me up?” Busta said to the man.
He added that he was a “grown” and warned the guy to “tame” his girl.
“See, I’m a grown man. I’ll f–k your girl, bro. I don’t want to f–k your girl…Tame your girl.”
The rapper continued, ranting about modern-day concert culture.
“This is a weird day, a weird time,” he said.”She touched me and s**t, 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…She ain’t from my day. In my time, we didn’t f**k with all these cameras, homie.”
He drove his point home by telling the grabby woman’s boyfriend to make her stand behind him.
“Take your girl and tell her to stand behind you,” he said before instructing her to do the same. “Stand behind your man, sweetheart.”
Other concert attendees then dragged the woman from the stage.
Busta is set to be honored as a BMI Icon at the upcoming BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards on September 7, the organization previously announced.
