The Japanese rapper who flew 6,000 miles to Cleveland, Ohio with hopes of meeting Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is closer to getting home. In a news report from Fox 8 Cleveland, Bone Thugs MC Bizzy Bone offered to fly Ryo Muranaka back to Japan.
“I’ll get the man a ticket to get back home,” Bizzy said in the clip. “I’m putting my hands out there on behalf of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to say we do care. And we just want to help the kid, and we appreciate him coming to see us.”

Muranaka arrived in Cleveland earlier this week after selling all of his possessions in an effort to get his music to his Hip Hop heroes. He was discovered alone, broke and robbed of his luggage by local activists James Norton and Kwas Bibbs who have been trying to get Muranaka the help he needs.
Norton and Bibbs said Muranaka was able to meet Layzie Bone who briefly put him up in a hotel.
Krayzie Bone, who also spoke with Fox 8 Cleveland, compared Muranaka’s attempt to Bone Thugs’ own. Before they became Hip Hop legends, they were struggling artists simply trying to get their music to Eazy-E. They took one-way bus tickets to Los Angeles and the rest is history.
Bizzy suggests Muranaka come back to the U.S. another time and do things properly. Krayzie also told HipHopDX, Muranaka needed to have a more solid plan.
“I will also say this to other fans and artist that are looking to do the same thing as us or this gentleman did — follow your dreams by all means, but you have to be very careful when you go to places you know nothing about,” he told DX. “We’re not from the suburbs, we’re from the ghetto.
“The area we grew up in is not nice by any means, and I’m just thankful all they took from him was his luggage and not his life because it gets real like that. So, be very careful and have some kind of plan.”
Bizzy – the most underrated.
Good deal…
That’s cool of bizzy, i hope the guy makes it back home
Bizzy and bone came through for this young dude… Always much respect to 1 of the greatest hip hop groups of all time. ?
That was nice and took alot of heart of what Thugs and Harmony did for the fellow Japanese rapper to be able to help the young dude out and place him in a hotel. This is an amazing job done by the top hip hop group artist to demonstrate that Americans have a great heart for those who are from another country. That appreciation must be glorified.
They ignored him & bought him a hotel & plane ride home after he sold everything he owns (& probably doesn’t have a home) just to get him out of their hair. They ONLY did that cuz it was in the media & they’d look terrible if worse happened to him after getting robbed & then they just ignored it. I know they don’t owe fans anything, & their time has long passed, but to say that was generous or took heart is a joke.
Shut it up! You sound like an idiot!
Shut it up! You sound like an idiot
“what Thugs and Harmony did for the fellow Japanese rapper” ….The fellow Japanese rapper?? Last time I checked none of the dudes in BTNH were Japanese ,you fucking idiot.
LMFAO you called him a dumbass but NO ONE said any of BTNH were Japanese, the fellow Japanese Rapper is the Guy that got robbed while trying to meet them, put down the pipe knucklehead. Seriously.
He said that he was a fellow Japanese rapper. Which is implying that Bone Thugs are Japanese as well.
Bizzy ain’t doin jack shit for this kid. He offered to buy him a one way ticket back to Japan. That isn’t what he came here for. It was an insult. Ryo didn’t realize that Bone Thugs haven’t done anything worth mentioning in at least 25 years. This poor kid thought he would run into them standing on E.99th and St.Clair slangin’ dope and rappin’…. That is like someone from Amsterdam flying one way to Detroit and standing on 8 Mile hoping to meet Eminem.
I cant tell if this is sarcasm or if youre being serious…lol
I can’t tell what your could possibly think it’s sarcastic about that comment… Are you a moron?
Imagine calling someone a moron after that car accident of a sentence. SMH.
It’s all factual information. How could any of it be sarcastic?
Bone won best rap group at 08 AMA’s that’s worth mentioning, right??? That would be like a group or rapper that came out in 2018 win a major award in like 2031 odds of that happening is very slim. They won it twice with 25 years that is worth mentioning
Ur idiot lol bone havent done anything in the last 25 years ? Are u stupid or u hating on them ? They still put music u idiot they make better music than 90% of the rappers these days and still going strong !
Niggas always talk about “white supremacy” and “racism” but what are the odds of that same thing happening to ol boy if he went to some white neighborhood ?
Pause. Reread that comment back to yourself and then let’s talk about racism.
Stop trolling. There are some places in Korea and Japan where u can get cut robbed and rapped. There are white communities where u can get lynched or shot. Crime is crime. The inner city and the poor areas worldwide should never be underestimated. If the people have wealth they will leave you alone, if they are poor they will attempt to take what’s yours if they think they can. Please educate yourself.
You never met a tweaker huh? Half this country’s white neighborhoods are scary meth infused shit holes
Actually the chances are good, did white people rob him?
Actually the odds are good, did white people rob him?
Shut it up! You sound like an idiot
I thank the lord in me none thugs n harmony, for everything it brang to me yeeeaahhh.
Are you going to listen to his music?
Maybe his music is good…we all know y’all got a break and somebody listened to your music..
Lol…There’re ghettos all over the world. And all of them suck…??♂️??♂️
Good look to help that kid out.
You can blindfold these people with dental floss!
Throw some gum on it lol

Hats off to Bone and Krayzie. They didn’t have to do that. Dude was careless in my opinion and should have panned out that situation in a much more safer and smarter way. These dudes have IG, they’ll most likely post a schedule on tour dates so you’d have a better chance meeting them there and most importantly you’d least likely get robbed or jumped unless you provoke their entourage.
Just because these dudes are from the ghetto parts and slumbs of Cleveland doesn’t mean that neighbourhood is all rosy and cosy. They got out of the ghetto but guess what people like Bone before their fame still exist in those environments. I wonder if he was an Eazy E fan, would he travel all the way to Compton right up there at in Fruit Town or Kelly Park neighbourhoods screaming that he’d want to meet Eazy E family or Lil Eazy or even DJ Quik smh.
It was Bizzy not Krayzie… But they are all real. Earth bound. Much love
So cool of him to send the Japanese guy, home. Some peeps would have not.
Ole boy, was about to have to get some welfare furnished, emergency funds & find out what The First Of The Month wakeup call is really all about, huh?! Sometimes, it’s not a piece of the American pie; sometimes, it’s nothing but crumbs. No matter how much planning you do, ya can’t plan for incidentals, such as, thievery or other, not so decent run-ins. You can get an intuitive reading but things just don’t necessarily, go as planned, no matter what you do.
But if you don’t go after your dreams, you could live a life of wondering what could have been.

I never asked so much …but to just do that dream that I wanted..not only for myself but for my mother who passed away from having AID’s…just one track bizzy just one track my boy…I sold mine just to be a rapper just like u …but had to find my self through my holy spirit to get my self back together…
