Busta Rhymes speaks out about a potential mask mandate.
It appears that Busta Rhymes isn’t a fan of masks. Since the global health crisis has completely shut down the world, it’s clear that individuals are starting to lose their patience. While prospects have certainly gotten better, mask mandates are dividing the population. Namely, people are done wearing masks.
Since the start of the crisis, a mask mandate has been an idea floated around as a means to combat the virus. It would require every citizen to cooperate together.
Unfortunately things are playing out that way, particularly stateside.
Citizens in the US and other western countries have shown extreme distaste for mask mandates. One such citizen is rapper and more recently fitness enthusiast Busta Rhymes.
Busta Rhymes Speaks Out
A video recently surfaced of Busta Rhymes at the Seoul Tacos 10th Anniversary Block Party in St. Louis. In the video the rapper holds nothing back and is raw with his words.
“In the last sixteen fucking months, COVID could suck a dick,” he said. “All these little weird ass government policies and mandates, suck a dick. They’re trying to take our civil liberties away. It feels good to be back outside, we outside for real!”
Busta Rhymes went on to detail his reasonings for not wanting to wear a mask. The information was less than accurate that he provided, yet he spoke from the heart.
“It’s called a God-given right for freedom, right?” he continued. “No human being is supposed to tell you you can’t even breathe freely. Fuck your mask! Some of y’all might feel differently but fuck your mask! You can’t eat food with a fucking mask on. You can’t even see each other smile with a mask on. I come from a time, way before, I used to wanna holla at a chick, I used to have to do shit with my face to let her know that I’m into her. All of that energy gets blocked when your mask is on. Energy is important and we are all conductors of good energy.”
Busta Rhymes rails against COVID lockdowns and masks:

It’s a stance that many support and others denounce. Busta Rhymes has a right to his opinion. Whether that stance is correct or incorrect will be something we’ll have to wait and see.
