Busta Rhymes Goes Off On Essence Festival Crowd: “F*ck Your Phone!”

Recently, Busta Rhymes graced the stage at the 2024 Essence Festival in New Orleans. Unfortunately, however, not everyone was on the same page throughout the show. At one point, the NYC-born performer paused his set to call out crowd members for sitting down and filming on their phones. He didn’t hold back, making it clear that he’s not from an era where that was acceptable.

“A-yo, f**k them camera phones, too. Let’s get back to interacting like humans. Put them weird-a** devices down,” he shouted. “I ain’t from that era. Them s**ts don’t control the soul. F**k your phone.” Obviously, he wasn’t having it and wasn’t afraid to let the audience know.

Busta Rhymes Gets Heated As Fans Use Phones, Sit At Essence Festival

“I will put every one of y’all out until y’all a*ses is up,” he also added. “Thirty-three years of doing this s**t, I ain’t use to ni**as sitting down at my show, I don’t give a f**k!” The outburst has managed to spark a debate in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section, as commenters share their takes on the unexpected moment. While some think Busta Rhymes was in the right to call out the crowd, others think he took things too far. Some are also arguing that a majority of his fans are older, and simply aren’t looking to stand through an entire concert.

“We not in YOUR era anymore big dawg, people paid to see you calm down,” one Instagram user says. “What he has to realize is that his main demographic is older as well!!!” another writes. “They like to sit at concerts because they are older.” What do you think of Busta Rhymes cursing out fans at Essence Fest for sitting and having their phones out? Does he have a point, or did he simply overreact? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Lil Wayne Knows Nothing About A Hot Boys Reunion: “You Just Told Me!”

Rumors of a potential Hot Boys reunion album have been circulating for some time now, but according to Lil Wayne, he knows nothing about it. During a recent appearance on the Not Just Football podcast, the rapper was asked about it, prompting him to call some of Juvenile’s previous claims into question. In May of this year, Juvenile took to Instagram Live to announce that the group’s first album in over two decades was in the works.

“The Hot Boys Is back together, man,” he declared at the time, stating that he and other members planned to hit the studio in the coming weeks. “Any other f*cking questions?” For obvious reasons, his announcement had fans eager to hear what was to come, but it looks like the wait could be longer than they may have hoped.

Lil Wayne Discusses Hot Boys Reunion Album

It’s certainly possible that Juvenile linked up with some of the other Hot Boys, but Lil Wayne insists that he himself hasn’t done any work on the project. “That’s what he [said]? I ain’t been to the kitchen yet. I would not lie to you, I have not been in that kitchen yet,” he said, “I have no problem with going to that kitchen, but I ain’t smell it, it ain’t come through the window yet. I ain’t smell the food […] They ain’t told me nothing yet.”

Fortunately, it seems as though Lil Wayne is willing to take part in a reunion album, despite not knowing much about it at this point. Hopefully, he’ll touch base with Juvenile and the rest of the members soon to work out the details. What do you think of Lil Wayne revealing that he knows nothing about the previously announced Hot Boys reunion album? Do you hope he gets in the studio soon?

Keith Lee’s Security Restrains Him After Troll Calls Him DDG: Watch

Keith Lee has been making plenty of headlines since his appearance at the BET Awards this weekend, largely due to a viral mix-up. Host Taraji P. Henson mistook another influencer for him as she made her way through the crowd giving people their flowers. He later made clear that he didn’t appreciate the mistake. In a TikTok, the food reviewer explained that he doesn’t hold it against Henson, but does hold it against the event’s production team.

Henson later responded to his complaints, claiming that he had been in a different seat than he was previously assigned, which is what prompted the confusion. She also said that his “ego is hurt,” suggesting that he’s making a bigger deal out of the mishap than necessary. “Life really is too short for this behavior,” she wrote. “He wasn’t in his seat [shrug emoji].”

Kodak Black Opens Up About His Sobriety Journey

“Love that for him,” one Instagram user says. “A win is a win,” someone else writes. Others are commending him for being so transparent with his supporters about the pitfalls of addiction and trying to encourage others not to go down the same road he did.

Druski Says Sexyy Red & Tyla Could Both “Get It” After Rubi Rose Breakup

Last month, Rubi Rose announced that she was officially single following a short-lived fling with Druski. Since then, the two of them have both been seen out and about, appearing unfazed by the unexpected split. Over the weekend, for example, Druski popped out for the 2024 BET Awards. On the carpet, he was asked about the breakup, though he was sure to keep his response as vague as possible. “Hey man… Aye, that what they said, you heard that? Now I say, man, I don’t know, man. You know, I’m just here blessed and highly favored, man, you know,” he said.

Now, however, he appears to have his eye on a couple of other female celebs. TMZ recently asked him and DJ Drama to weigh in on Tyla taking home the award for Best New Artist at the BET Awards instead of Sexyy Red. After the awards show, many of the “Pound Town” performer’s fans insisted that she was “robbed” of the title. DJ Drama seems to agree, and while Druski didn’t give a concrete answer, he was sure to show love to both of them.

Last year, it was revealed that Jamie Foxx was dealing with an unspecified health condition, prompting him to stay out of the spotlight for months.

Remy Ma Admits She Wants To Smack Three People Amid Son’s Murder Charges

It’s been a busy few months for Remy Ma, and it appears as though all the drama she’s dealing with has left her fed up. Earlier this month, for example, her son Jayson Scott was arrested in New York City for his alleged involvement in a murder. Reportedly, he could be looking at a life sentence for his alleged crimes. Before that, the femcee was making headlines for rumors that she cheated on her husband Papoose with a battle rapper. The man believed to have been her alleged side piece, Eazy The Block Captain, only fueled these rumors with a flirty birthday post at the end of last month.

Recently, Remy took to Instagram Live to air some of her frustrations, revealing that there are three people in particular that she’s had enough of. “Three people that when I catch them, I don’t give a f*ck who they call. Smacking they f*ckin’ cheek off and that’s just that on that,” she said. “And they know it too.”

Drake Embraces Kendrick Lamar’s “69 God” Nickname On Bowling Outing

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s viral lyrical battle continues to be a hot topic of debate, and lately, it appears as though Drizzy has opted to make the best of the undoubtedly tough situation. After the two of them went back and forth with several scathing disses, the general consensus was that Kendrick came out on top. This is due in part to his explosive track “Not Like Us.” In it, he accuses Drake and other members of his OVO crew of being “certified pedophiles,” and more.

In the song, Kendrick also repeatedly calls Drake a “69 god.” It seems like he wasn’t too offended by this, however. Over the weekend, the hitmaker was spotted out bowling with some friends, and using this as his player name. It remains unclear exactly what Kendrick meant by the lyric, though of course, social media users have plenty of theories.

Drake Makes Light Of Kendrick Lamar Beef With “Not Like Us” Reference

Last week, for example, Keke Palmer hopped online to question what the nickname is supposed to suggest. She argued that if it was a reference to the rapper’s bedroom habits, it should actually be taken as a compliment. Her remarks sparked a debate among fans, with many agreeing with her or sharing their own interpretations of the line. Some also believe it could be a reference to fellow artist 6ix9ine, who’s dealt with his own fair share of sexual predator allegations in the past.

Either way, it’s clear that Drake is unfazed by the shady nickname, and has even gone so far as to embrace it. What do you think of Drake seemingly making light of Kendrick Lamar’s “69 god” jab during a recent bowling excursion? Are you surprised or not? What do you think Kendrick meant by the nickname?

Unfortunately, however, not all of Kodak Black’s recent interactions with fans have been positive. During his performance at Summer Smash earlier this month, for example, someone in the crowd hurled a water bottle his way.

He also recently got serious during a chat with fans at one of his shows, opening up about the realities of his past substance abuse issues.
