A well-known jeweler recently shared a story about something that happened 20 years ago with someone in the industry. When he tried to speak up about it back then, he ended up getting blacklisted. People labeled him a hater and dismissed his claims. He said, “How are you going to tell me this didn’t happen to me?”
He continued, “No, real people don’t do stuff like that. I’m sorry, y’all. His name is… well, I’m not saying names. He loved me when he loved me, and that’s just how it was. Just like Diddy—same thing. They love you when it’s convenient for them. Period.”
We all remember how the internet exploded when Diddy’s freaky parties and his treatment of male workers came to light, right? Well, now it looks like Busta Rhymes is about to face the same kind of heat. For years, Busta has kept his personal life on the down-low, acting like he would never get caught up in any scandal. But behind closed doors, rumors say he’s into the same wild stuff—and maybe even worse. He’s been accused of mistreating male workers and manipulating young men to do his bidding. It’s almost like we’ve got a “Diddy 2.0” situation on our hands.
But, where’s the proof? Are these just rumors, or is there more to it? Well, Busta’s own bodyguard has come forward with some shocking details. This guy has been with Busta for years, so if anyone knows the real story, it’s him.
So, did Busta really target young men? And is there any footage of him at those infamous Diddy parties? Let’s get into it and see what we can uncover.
“He talks about this guy like he’s some kind of monster,” the bodyguard shared. “He even showed me the threats he’s been getting.”
Before we get into the allegations, it’s worth understanding the public image Busta Rhymes projects. While he might enjoy the high-life in VIP sections of clubs, he maintains a very different persona when in the spotlight. For instance, back in 2006, Busta almost got physical with a fan who simply wanted to congratulate him on his new album. Eyewitness Thomas Barker, who shared details with the New York Post, said this happened at the 11th Street Diner, close to the gay nightclub Twist.
So why was Busta even near that area, given that he goes to great lengths to present himself as a straight Black man who has no interest in that scene? You’ll get a clearer picture soon enough.
According to Barker, the diner was packed with drag queens, trans people, and gay men, which seemed to unsettle Busta. When a young man approached to compliment him on his comeback, Busta’s reaction was immediate and intense. He turned around and shouted, “Why are you touching me, man? Get the hell away from me!”
Other sources claim that Busta whispered a slur to his bodyguards, saying, “I hate those effing f-words.” This isn’t a one-off; Busta’s attitude towards the LGBTQ+ community has been clear on multiple occasions.
In a 2007 interview with filmmaker Byron Hurt, Busta was asked about homophobia in hip-hop. His response was blunt: “I can’t talk about that, with all due respect. What I represent culturally doesn’t condone it.” He then walked out of the interview, making his stance on the issue pretty clear.
It seems like Busta Rhymes is doing everything he can to avoid the subject, but let’s clear things up: there’s no problem with someone wanting to keep their preferences private. You can live your life however you choose. But if you’re publicly bashing the LGBTQ+ community while privately mistreating male escorts you’ve hired for your enjoyment at exclusive parties, that’s another story.
If Busta really wanted to keep this part of his life a secret, he should have been more careful with his security. His former bodyguard is now spilling the details, calling Busta a “super zest monster.”
“I’ve seen you talk about Busta Rhymes in some of your videos.”
“Yeah, definitely. He’s definitely a super zest monster. It’s pretty common knowledge, honestly.”
Big Homie CC, who used to work for Ghostface Killah, has seen a lot of shady stuff in the rap scene, including Busta’s private life. According to him, the rumors about Busta being on the down-low are true—he’s into men. Clubs would even prepare in advance for Busta’s visits by making sure there were young men available for him.
“My promoter friends would always say, ‘We need to bring some, uh… well, let’s just say we need to bring some “fun boys” for Busta.'”
Big Homie has a ton of stories. For example, one time, he was out with a model named Don Benjamin. Don brought along a gay friend who looked great, and apparently, Busta was really interested. He wanted Don’s friend in his section so badly that he made a move on him right away.
“I was out with Don Benjamin—do you know him?”
“No, I don’t.”
“He’s a model and does some rapping too. We ended up at the same club as Busta Rhymes. There was also a gay lawyer with us who Busta was really keen on. He practically pulled him into his section. I noticed because we were all there together and I usually make sure everyone stays together when we go out.”
He really stayed with them, no doubt about it.
“You haven’t heard about this before, have you? It’s actually pretty well-known.”
It seems Busta has a way of making the people around him feel uneasy. And from what we’re hearing, everyone in the industry knows about the shady stuff he gets up to behind the scenes.
“But when it comes to him, I’ve been getting DMs from a lot of people in high places—celebrities and all. They’ve got stories about him and want me to share them. I keep saying, ‘No way.'”
So, why haven’t more people spoken out besides Big Homie? The answer is pretty clear. Even though Busta might not have the same level of power as someone like Diddy, he still has enough influence to make sure people stay quiet.
“There’s this big jeweler who claims something happened with Busta 20 years ago. When he tried to come forward, he ended up being pushed out.”
Meanwhile, Big Homie is fighting the fight for those who can’t safely speak out. He mentioned one victim reached out to thank him for being honest because it made him feel less alone. The reason this person didn’t come forward himself? He was apparently threatened, which isn’t surprising given how things go in the industry.
He reached out to thank me and said, “Man, I feel a lot braver now. I don’t feel so alone anymore.” He was dealing with someone who seemed like a real menace, showing me the threats he’d been getting. The support I’ve been getting has been incredible and truly life-changing.
Some people might think the bodyguard is just seeking a moment in the spotlight—trying to make a buck after retirement, right? But maybe we should consider the obvious signs we’ve been missing, the clues that have been right in front of us.
Take Busta Rhymes, for instance. Remember when he showed up on stage in a dress? He probably thought it was a way to honor the culture, but the internet didn’t react well. One tweet even suggested, “You know how people say the industry is all about Baphomet and that stuff? Busta’s part of it.”
You’ve been deeply involved in Hollywood for a long time.
“Yeah, I am Hollywood.”
Exactly. And that’s why you know the ropes. But I’m not here to boast or pretend I have all the answers. There are things out there that can really break you, make you cry, and lose your way. While he acts out a lot, some fans think it’s a way to hide the truth and avoid drawing too much attention.
That’s why you should really listen when Orlando talks about his experiences with rappers in the industry. He’s mentioned names like Drake, Diddy, and notably, Busta Rhymes.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“So none of these names surprise you?”
“He loved me while he loved me, just like Diddy did. They loved me when they loved me.”
“You were intimate with them when they were girls?”
“I didn’t just sleep with them. We made love.”
“Who did you make love with?”
“Diddy. Bow Wow. Busta.”
Here’s a more conversational and humanized version:
“Rymes, you mentioned you saw Busta at the airport, and he acted like he didn’t even recognize you. Did you actually hook up with Drake?”
“Uh, no. I never hooked up…”
“Oh, so you were romantically involved with Drake?”
“And what about C. Williams? What’s his name?”
Some fans are buying into Orlando’s claims without question. One person commented, “He probably did all that. He was just a kid when he started. Hollywood made him into what he is now.” But not everyone agrees. Another person wrote, “He sounds like he’s dissociating. It seems like a father figure might have put him in bad situations, and now his mind is filling in gaps with fantasies to deal with the pain. He really needs help, not fake friends.”
But let’s consider another possibility—maybe Orlando didn’t actually hook up with those rappers. Perhaps he’s hinting at something else. If he’s dropping these names, it might be his subtle way of pointing something out. And if he is, it’s not entirely out of left field—Busta Rhymes has had his share of controversies.
Remember the time YouTuber Tripper Plug had an odd run-in with Busta Rhymes? Trip was heading to a Halloween party in NYC when Busta suddenly grabbed his hand.
“I’m walking in NYC, heading to a Halloween party. Out of nowhere, Busta Rhymes grabs my hand.”
Yes, Busta Rhymes. But it gets even stranger.
“He’s holding my hand. At first, I didn’t even realize it was him. I noticed his Flipmode chain, looked up, and saw it was Busta. He kept holding my hand and said, ‘We’re heading to a club around the corner. You want to come?’ I saw a big bodyguard nearby, but Busta kept my hand in his.”
Busta then invited Trip to his VIP section at the club—the same section where rumors say shady stuff went down. Trip was excited but never made it. His friend got weird vibes, leading to a fight between them. Trip’s friend ditched him in NYC, and Trip missed out on the chance to hang with Busta. Looking back, he might have dodged a bullet.
It’s unsettling to think about the behavior of some people in the industry. Busta, for instance, has a history of reacting aggressively toward women. There are several videos of him going off on women for minor things.
“There’s this video where a girl touched him, and he completely lost it, throwing a drink on her.”
It’s curious that Busta gets so upset over these encounters but is known for hanging out with questionable people. He was close with Diddy, who has his own set of controversies. The last time Diddy and Busta were seen together was before Diddy got hit with a lawsuit from Cassie.
“Let me finish. Diddy was known for joint ventures, label deals, and production deals.”
“That’s right. I’m going to give props to Dallas Austin for…”
Once Diddy was buried under lawsuits, Busta seemed to disappear from the scene. They were once tight—check out old photos of Busta with Diddy and Jay-Z, and another with Aaliyah and Hype Williams. If Busta was hanging out at Diddy’s parties, he was likely in on Diddy’s notorious gatherings. Birds of a feather, right?
Diddy’s parties were known in the industry. Rumors even suggest Busta and Diddy had similar tastes and shared workers. So, Busta’s behavior might not be as innocent as it seems. It’s about time he faces some scrutiny. How many others are waiting to share their stories?
Fans are starting to speculate too. One commented, “I always wondered why Busta was on that ‘Victory’ track with Diddy. Now it all makes sense.” Another wrote, “Busta Rhymes likes to party hard. Someone needs to put a stop to it.”
What do you think? Is Busta hiding something? Should he be held accountable like Diddy? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
