The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created a sharp division among the United States population. Some are all for the vaccine, while others thumb their nose at the idea. Others will adhere to wearing masks, but then there are those who believe it hinders on their freedom as Americans.
During a St. Louis concert in June, Busta Rhymes had a few words on the topic, which made it clear which side of the fence he was on. In a now-viral clip making the rounds on Twitter, Busta says, “The last 15 fucking months, COVID can suck a dick. All these little weird ass government policies and mandates, suck a dick!
“They try to take our civil liberties away. It feels good to be back outside. We outside for real. It’s called the god given right of freedom, right? No human being supposed to tell you you can’t just breathe freely.”
Busta Rhymes made it clear he feels similarly about any mask mandates, as well.
“Fuck your mask,” he bluntly said. “Some of y’all might feel differently, but fuck your mask. I can’t rhyme with a mask on, we can’t eat food with a fuckin’ mask on, we can’t even see each other’s smiles with a mask on. I come from a time when before I used to even wanna holler at a chick, I’d have to do shit with my face to let her know I was into her. All of that energy gets blocked when your mask is on.
“Energy is important, and we are all conductors of good energy. We also gotta be clear when a muthafucka tryin’ to give you bad energy. You can tell from only the expression on they face. I wanna see the face. Fuck they mask!”
Toward the end of Busta Rhymes’ diatribe, he apologized for the politicized rant.
“I’m sorry I gotta a little political and shit,” he added. “I miss my people. We can party, but we gotta talk. We gotta communicate. We gotta establish new understandings. Fuck that. I ain’t going through that shit again. Make sure y’all prepare too.

“If anything came out of this muthafucka, it was a lot of learning. I done learned so much in this little time off. Thank you for the one thing that came good out of this shutdown — I have become more empowered.”
With the Delta variant ramping up and putting more unvaccinated people in the hospital, Bus-A-Bus’ comments didn’t exactly go over well on Twitter.

more power to the brother fuck ur plandemic
“Plandemic” as a term is as foolish as it is unimaginative. I’m sure you have the entire global conspiracy worked out though, can’t wait to see it revealed .
F•ck the scamdemic comin’ str8 from the underground
What is this grand plan you claim you know of? Why is the disease affecting every single person on the earth, black or white, rich or poor? Sounds like a dumb plan
Busta lame for all of his past predictions. This one is lame also because you can catch Covid quicker than a hickey. Stay ignorant and keep your mask off. Smash prostitutes and keep your condom off…
Busta: “We gotta talk. We gotta communicate.”
Also Busta: “FUCK YOUR MASK”
At first Dr Fauci stated wearing the masks was pointless; then the government made him say the opposite cuz they wanted to train the people to jump through bullsh•t hoops. And to take away rights of the people.
At 1st stfu. So sick of you rw idiots whining about the NWO
Science changes as you get more information. He got more information, and changed the advice. It’s not that hard to understand. Were you educated??
How many shots do you think you will have to take after it’s all said and done?
For something that for most people is a bad cold this is ridiculous. I’m with Busta on this. Fuck these masks. If you want to continue to wear one that’s on you. Don’t push your fear on other people and be mad cause someone else doesn’t feel like you.
Best of luck living off door dash and all bc these mandates ain’t letting ur ignorant a$$ in establishments. Oh wait, you made it inside. And guess what? Your used bootyhole IS STILL wearing a mask. So whine u internet warrior. I still gonna be wearing a mask until this is all figured out. It’s bc of dumas$$es like u that it’s taken this long. Use logic idiot.
You silly sausage
“internet basement Gangsta” calls out people for being “internet basement Gangstas” on the internet.
Keep on sayjng this kind of stuff while simultaneously calling someone a dumbass and idiot. I’d recommend a hard look in the mirror.
Yep, COVID is all my fault. So wrong of me to live how I choose. Nope, if I don’t do exactly what the blue check mark Army of Twitter commands I become the one who’s killing folks.
They don’t realize Twitter isn’t real life. Try telling someone like tough guy lol. What a joke. No one cares what anyone like him/her (you never know anymore). Keep trusting the government. If Trump was the president people like this wouldn’t be talking like this. Wouldn’t be getting vaccine, or wearing masks. Can’t think for themselves. Keep up that tough talk homie. The Commie Cough doesn’t care about it. Just like your president. You can either get the vaccine, or not. What level of freedom are your willing to give up to feel better about yourself? That’s what you should be asking. What’s acceptable to you? Zero covid is not a real thing, so you can give that up. Keep letting the government tell you what to do while everyone else does what they want to do. I tell you what. I ain’t wearing the mask anywhere. You can if that’s what you want you to do. I’ll keep doing what I want cause this is still America last time I checked.
Reminds me of the Hail Mary remix dissin ja rule! He just diss someone or something to feel special! Classic Busta!
Was thinking the same thing! Dissin Ja Rule was fucking lame, specially when they where both on violator!
is he bringing back flipmode.
I hope yall know it was jus 2012 not 2020. Yall on a Roman calendar lol stupid. Ready to take vaccine shots from a ppl who got yall thinking its 2021 when its really 2013 right now. But I let yall sit here and diss a rapper for being misinformed.
The year and time is what we agree it is as a society, genius. That’s the only relevance it has. If you think it’s monday of 2012, and everyone else says its Wednesday 2021, then who is at a disadvantage, you or us? Look man…it’s good to have an open mind, but logic and reasoning still has to be a part of the equation. So, you go ahead and put 2012 on your tax forms. Oh wait, taxes are just for the rest of us dummies, right?
My hero
It’s funny how this site just put the negative comments from twitter, but nothing about the sites that backed his rant….. Press misbehaving again!!!
What sites? Facebook?
I guess he just likes trying to test his life span. Hopefully, he won’t end up in ICU. Plus he’s no expert on the matter so to anyone to say people shouldn’t be doing something to try to protect themselves is retarded.
I see Joy Ann Reid on Twitter seems to only care for black people. That’s fucking racist.
Fuck anyone trying to control what the fuck I wear.
Bring that shit to my door and I’ll kill you fucks.
No you won’t. You’re scared to death, otherwise you wouldn’t feel so threatened. But a mask on, ugly dude.
Busta says “Fuck your masks!” But his ELE2 album cover had a mask on it. SMH..
Well Busta Rhymes is a fucking moron… when he had all that weight on, he was barely able to breathe and could have died. You would think that somebody that can barely breathe, would follow the CDC guidelines and wear a mask and stay away from large gatherings. We already lost Fred. It’s not a game
Good on him I say. I’m from the UK Busta Rhymes might not be a doctor but plenty of doctors Dr Andrew Kaufman, Dr Vernon Coleman and many others have spoken against wearing masks. I have to agree with him – at best these are harmless and unnecessary at worst they are themselves dangerous. Everyone is so worried about the health of their lungs yet they don’t consider the implications of breathing in microfibres, microplastics, bacteria built up within their masks and breathing back in their Co2. Fair enough there could be something pretty nasty going around but if there is shame on the media and govt. for not giving people better advice. I mean why are they not telling people to stop smoking for example. Or eat more healthy. Or get outside to get more Vitamin D. Busta is right – what right does any man have over god to decide if we breathe the air around us or don’t? Good on him.
They been telling people to stop smoking for years. There have been endless campaigns about eating healthy. This hasn’t been marketed for combatting covid specifically, but these things have been said in general for decades now. People who want to get healthy will, and at this point, the people who want the vaccine will. There are few people left who will actually be convinced of complying with health and safety protocols. As an asthmatic with claustrophobia, I wear a mask when I’m out as a courtesy to others. Even if you don’t believe in the masks, it shows you respect your fellow man because you don’t want to spray your shit all over them. I love Busta, but if you were to get him (or others) to explain what civil liberties these mandates infringe upon and define what is a “God-given right” (this is strictly a western/narcissistic term) I don’t feel you would get any good answers. Thus, his rant is full of BS and emotion, no facts, and that is dangerous when you are someone with influence.
These Republicans got their master plan in full effect. This virus is murdering black and brown people by large amounts, meanwhile meatheads like Busta Rhymes go around and preach these right wing conservative talking points. He should be careful cause covid will chew his old ass up.
You’re an idiot. The virus has a survival rate of 99.8% and you’re scared enough to trust pharmaceutical companies that cannot be sued by law.
Republicans? What? A virus that came from China. Black, brown, white, vulnerable, and old people can get vaccinated if they’re scared.
Let people have a choice
Covid restrictions to Busta Rhymes: “Fuck you! Delta Variant in this bitch!”
People are so miserable they want to play Russian roulette with a virus. If only they had actually lived a meaningful life.
