Busta Rhymes recently celebrated his forty-ninth birthday, and many fans took to social media to pay homage to the hip-hop legend by highlighting his many contributions to the game. Over the weekend, Busta opted to connect with some of his close friends and collaborators for a more intimate birthday bash at Miami’s Carbone restaurant, where he was joined by a few key music industry figures.
From the look of it, Noreaga, Justin Timberlake, Fat Joe, CJ, James Cruz, and El Alfa El Jefe got together to organize a meeting of the bosses for Busta’s big day, with several images and clips making the rounds on social media. “We still Celebrating,” captions Busta, sharing a video of himself and Justin Timberlake in a brotherly embrace (complete with Fat Joe commentary). “Bday Love was incredible tonight.
