Busta Rhymes Confronts TikTok Prankster at Art Basel Over 'Tracy Morgan' Jab

Follow-up footage shows the prank was deliberate.

Overview

  • The encounter in Miami was captured by TMZ as a young creator called the rapper “Tracy Morgan” during a photo, prompting Busta Rhymes to halt filming and address him directly.
  • On video, Busta told the teen, “You don’t play with a grown man, little boy — that’s how people get f***ed up,” before the teen and his camera associate backed off without any physical altercation.
  • GTV Reality later filmed the same creator admitting he intentionally staged the misidentification for content, corroborating that the moment was a trolling stunt.
  • In a separate exchange recorded by GTV, Busta rebuked a cameraman who told him to “stay Black,” exchanged heated words, and then proceeded into the event without the situation turning physical.
  • The clips spread widely across social platforms, where many users defended Busta’s response, noting that the Tracy Morgan comparison has been used to troll him since at least 2020.
