Busta Rhymes has broken the silence he has maintained ever since that recent shooting of his bodyguard Israel Ramirez at a video shoot in Brooklyn last month, defending himself against what he perceives as some kind of character assassination by the media.
Although, if such an assassination is based around the fact that he won't speak to the New York Police Department despite repeated requests by the said Police Department that he contact them, then perhaps it's fair enough.
Anyway, headlining a show for New York radio station Power 105.1, Rhymes told his audience: "The media is trying to make me look like a real shitbag! They got a nigga looking real crazy. We went to work that day. We were having a productive day when unfortunate situations transpired and killed my friend. But we're going to have fun honoring Izzy's name... Fuck the media."
