The surveillance video of Busta Rhymes confronting a gym employee has been released, according to Page Six.
The video is broken into two parts and appears to show the rapper confronting a cashier at the counter in Steel Gym in Chelsea, New York. In the second part, Rhymes throws water at the man, then ruffles papers on the counter before throwing a protein shake at his head.
The cashier, Ole Hernandez, has come forward and identified himself as the victim of Rhymes’ attack.
Rhymes pled guilty to second-degree harassment earlier this month.

Busta Rhymes reached a deal in the case regarding an altercation in which he was allegedly involved at a gym in August, ABC-7 reports.
The Brooklyn, New York rapper pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment today (November 6) after completing an anger management course.
Busta was arrested on assault charges after throwing a Lean Body strawberry protein drink at an employee of Steel Gym in Chelsea, New York. The two had reportedly been arguing prior to the drink being thrown. The employee sustained a minor head injury.
“We are glad the DA’s office did their own investigation,” Scott Leemon, the rapper’s lawyer, tells TMZ, “and agreed that criminal charges were not warranted.”

Anyone who knows any history of Busta Rhymes, knows he’s exactly like.. a busta. Dude bullies ppl whenever he can. Insecure fake tough guy..
Altercation??? you pussy ass editors think throwing a drink on a nigga is gangsta loool

Busta, Chris Brown and Kanye are 3 people you don’t want to piss off or you gonna get slapped or punched. If you want a big payday, I recommend taunting Brown or Kanye then you can get a nice settlement out of court and retire on an island someday. But you will always be remembered as that bitchboy.
All of you are stupid.. Worried about all the wrong shit
