Busta Rhymes Confronts TikToker Who Called Him ‘Tracy Morgan’ at Art Basel

TMZ’s video of the tense exchange heightened conversation about prank culture and respect during celebrity encounters.

Overview

  • The encounter happened in Miami during Art Basel after Busta Rhymes agreed to pose for a photo with a young content creator.
  • When the creator said, “It’s Tracy Morgan,” Busta ordered the camera turned off and admonished him, saying, “You don’t play with a grown man, little boy — that’s how people get f***ed up.”
  • The clip shows no physical confrontation, and the teen walked away as Busta departed once the recording stopped.
  • TMZ published the footage, which other outlets amplified as it circulated widely across social platforms.
  • The Tracy Morgan comparison has been used to troll Busta before, including a 2020 post by 50 Cent, and online reaction to the new clip has been mixed with no reports of further escalation or legal action.
