Busta Rhymes Blasts Essence Fest Crowd During His Performance: ‘F–k Your Phone’


Busta Rhymes slammed the Essence Fest crowd for using cell phones during his performance. See video of his rant.

Bus-A-Bus attempted to shake the audience up for his Saturday night (July 6) set, and he wasn’t thrilled with those in the crowd not standing up, and hiding behind their cell phones instead. A look into the crowd and footage showed that there was sparse attendance with fans spread thin across the floor seats, while the lower and upper bowls appeared to be more full. Busta Rhymes performs onstage during Day 1 of the 2024 ESSENCE Festival of Culture presented by Coca-Cola at Caesars Superdome on July 5, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
