Busta Rhymes has seemingly taken a side in the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, having recently teased a possible remix to K.Dot’s “Not Like Us.”

The Flatbush-born MC took the stage at the Essence Festival in New Orleans, LA on Friday (July 5), and teased fans with a tantalizing version of Kendrick’s all-time diss record.

Before he departed the stage, promising the crowd he would be seen again, his DJ cued up a fresh version of Lamar’s single, which featured bars from Busta.

Check out the short clip below.

Despite the farewell gift from the “Touch It” rapper, he wasn’t particularly pleased with the NOLA audience during his set.

He even stopped his performance to lecture fans in attendance who weren’t paying attention.

He said: “Ayo, fuck them camera phones, too. Let’s get back to interacting like humans. Put them weird-ass devices down. I ain’t from that era. Them shits don’t control the soul. Fuck your phone.”

He also offered up a threat, adding: “I will point every last one of y’all out until y’all asses is up.”

Busta also clarified his position, saying: “Thirty-three years of doing this shit, I ain’t used to n-ggas sitting down at my show. I don’t give a fuck! All age groups, get your ass up now.”

Things aren’t all bad in Busta’s world, however.

Last month, it was revealed that Busta Rhymes and the late Prince are set to be honored with their own stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
