A Busta Rhymes and Drake track from Busta’s days at Cash Money leaked onto the internet earlier this week. The J Dilla-produced “Stay Down” was well received by fans but not by Busta’s longtime friend and collaborator Swizz Beatz.
The Verzuz co-founder chatted with Busta during a recent Instagram Live session and said his “filter [was] burnt” when it came to the song leaking for public consumption.
“That kid is a good kid as well,” Swizz said. “He’s not a bad kid, he’s a good kid. He started from different things, we made hit record together, it’s all love. I just wanna play music. Because my filter is burnt. Because at the end of the day, niggas is pussy for real. What’s up? Pop off. Let’s go.”
When “Stay Down” leaked on Wednesday (June 17), Busta was caught by surprise and unaware of how it even leaked in the first place. As he and Swizz continued discussing the song on Instagram Live, the legendary MC said it wasn’t a slight to him on how the collaboration first came to be as well as how it wound up being released without permission.
“I don’t want to get it misconstrued,” Busta said. “He didn’t come to me to make a record with me. He wanted to do Dilla beat. Dilla beats, that’s what it was about. That’s all I’m saying.”

Even as Busta attempted to smooth the situation out, Swizz wasn’t having it as his overall issue comes from the fact it was leaked and no longer in Busta’s control.
“My whole energy was based off of something that got leaked that you couldn’t put out, no matter what the circumstances is,” Swizz said. “That’s a guy, that’s a little guy and we made a lot of great things together. It’s not personal. I got no personal things. If it was personal, we’d shoot your plane out the sky.”
Im be surprised if anyone is theatened by swizz beats. Him calling someone pussy just doesnt hit too hard
If you knew the power Swizz got in the business you’d understand.
Lol,ok, Not enough power to stops someone’s career. Swiss power isn’t more than Drakes power in the biz.
lmao said nobody ever
my reply was for KLPEOLEI not to lol my bad idk this site buggin
id be more pi$$ed that drake is wanting to use Dilla beats. That just should not be allowed to happen. white guys (im one) listening to hip hop culture vultures but fvck me, Drake is the biggest one hip hop has!
“If it was personal, we’d shoot your plane out of the sky”.
Swiz Beatz ain’t never shot nothing in his life except his DNA into R&B singers
According to DMX’ biography they been in shootouts together tho.. Swizz is more street than you would think.
Swizz was and still is a Ruff Ryder and before the music he was a street guy. Not saying tough guys stopped being made when he was made but sometimes everything ain’t always as it seems.
Drake is kinda pussy. But really jokes aside, why does leaking a 7-8 yr old track make Swizz mad? If it’s some new shit I get it but I’m not sure I get his anger, especially when it ain’t his track.
Because Busta wasn’t able to put it out and gain his fame off it but now that drake needs the publicity he just goes and drops it. Swizz is upset, not for himself but for the music business that drake did Busta dirty like that.
Lolz, Drake needs the publicity? Yeah ok.
Cuz dropping this track will really elevate Drake’s status? More people will know him now? FOH
You kids don’t understand business. Nobody said Drake would go broke, if he didn’t, but some artists will continue to use anything for an extra boost until their career ends.
How is Drake a pussy?
Really, mind your business. Fake threats for another man. Not a good look
If people like Swizz Beatz, Dr. Dre, and others would stop talking about what they’ve been working on and actually put stuff out, they wouldn’t be so hurt about these leaks that happen. Let the people hear the music! That’s a major reason why most artists make music, not only because it’s a passion for them but also because they want the people to hear it, become fans and support them
J.Prince might need to go pay Swizz a visit, he gon shoot Drakes plane out the sky huh?
Damn son das a mature ass hairline yo.. RZA style. “hairline is mature.. oh so mature !(read this in jay-z voice)”
You know what, I think Swizz here might be onto something. Drake is indeed a pussy. However, that is quite anti-semitic of Swizz to attack god’s chosen peoples like that, Yo !
Lol Swizz is mad at something,way deeper than A leak, i understand why execs wouldn’t allow to see the light of day. He just using buss n the leak to clear his chest,yet someone else is a pussy,oh okay.
Shave your head. It’s okay.
