It looks like Busta Rhymes has more to be upset about than just a disrespectful Instagram comment. According to TMZ, Bus-A-Bus has filed a lawsuit against ex-employee Rasheem “Bubba” Barker for acting as his manager and booking performances without his permission.
In documents obtained by TMZ, Busta accuses Baker of pocketing $60,000 in advances between 2016 and 2018. He also claims Baker kept $8,000 in travel expenses for a trip to Toronto that was intended for the Flipmode Squad OG.
Consequently, Busta says someone was awarded a default judgment against him for $22,478 after he didn’t show up to a show booked by Barker. He’s suing for more than $500,000.

Busta addressed the situation on Instagram earlier this week.
“TO ALL BOOKING AGENTS, PROMOTERS & ANYONE INQUIRING ABOUT BUSTA RHYMES, CONGLOMERATE OR FLIPMODE BUSINESS!!” he wrote in all caps. “DO NOT SPEAK TO RASHEEM “BUBBA” BARKER ABOUT ANYTHING CONCERNING MY BUSINESSES!!
“HE IS RUNNING AND HIDING AS A RESULT OF BEING CAUGHT STEALING BETWEEN 300 AND 400K OF DIFFERENT PROMOTERS MONEY AND IS CURRENTLY BEING DEALT WITH LEGALLY BY ALL OF THE PROMOTERS HE STOLE FROM!!!”
