Overview
- In widely shared footage from Miami Art Basel, Busta Rhymes halted a photo op after a young content creator called him “Tracy Morgan,” telling the teen, “You don’t play with a grown man, little boy — that’s how people get f***ed up.”
- Video published by TMZ shows the encounter ending without physical contact as the teen backs away and cameras are lowered.
- TMZ later shared GTV Reality’s footage in which the TikToker reportedly admits the name-drop was intentional trolling for content.
- The same GTV clips show a separate exchange where Busta bristled after a cameraman told him to “Stay Black,” with the rapper rejecting the phrase and exchanging heated words before walking inside.
- Social-media responses largely defended Busta’s reaction, and outlets noted the “Tracy Morgan” comparison has been used to needle him before, including a 2020 post from 50 Cent.
