Busta Rhymes has claimed that he refused to talk to police following the previously reported shooting of his bodyguard Israel Ramirez, because he didn't witness the murder, which occurred outside a New York warehouse where Rhymes was filming a video back in February.
He says: "I don't really care about what anybody has to say. You don't really know who was the source of the problem, all you know is a handful of people were arguing with each other. We was inside shooting a video, and on the way outside, that's when everything happened, so I was told to stay inside. I really didn't get a chance to see what went down. When we went outside, that's when we saw my friend on the ground, dying slowly."
He continued: "If I didn't ask him to come to work, he'd have been at home with his family. That's the only guilt I live with, but still in that sense I don't have any guilt, because that was the way we made money together."
