In a hilariously chaotic moment that quickly lit up social media, hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes reportedly “almost lost it” after a fan confused him with comedian Tracy Morgan during a public appearance this week.
According to witnesses, Busta was leaving a studio in New York City when an overly excited passerby shouted, “Tracy Morgan! I love you, man!” The rapper stopped in his tracks, turning toward the fan with a mixture of disbelief, confusion, and just a hint of rage.
Those nearby say Busta threw his hands up and exclaimed something along the lines of, “Come on, now! Tracy Morgan?!”—followed by a dramatic deep breath that had onlookers cracking up.
The fan, realizing the mistake, reportedly apologized profusely. Busta, after a few seconds of processing the moment, broke into a laugh and dapped the man up, telling him, “All love, but get it right next time!”
Clips of the interaction spread quickly, with users joking:
- “This is why I fear calling out celebrities in public 😭”
- “To be fair, both have amazing energy but… the beard difference alone??”
- “Busta handled that way better than I would’ve 😂”
Even Tracy Morgan himself chimed in online hours later, joking: “It’s okay, Busta. People confuse me with The Rock sometimes.”
The accidental mix-up has now become one of the week’s most meme-worthy moments, proving once again that even the biggest stars aren’t safe from the occasional identity crisis.
One thing’s for sure: Busta Rhymes might have almost lost it, but fans definitely gained a new favorite internet moment.
