The Essence Festival is known for its thrilling performances and unforgettable moments, but this year, legendary rapper Busta Rhymes took the stage to deliver a strong message that shook up the crowd.
During his set, Busta expressed his frustration with the excessive phone usage during his performance. He passionately urged fans to put their phones away and reconnect with the essence of the live experience.
“Ayo, forget them camera phones,” he began saying to the crowd. “Let’s get back to interacting like humans. Put those weird devices down! I ain’t from that era. Forget your phone!”
“I Don’t Give A F*k”
