Busta Rhymes' gay fan attack

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Busta Rhymes has lashed out at a gay fan who tapped him on the shoulder.

The incident happened as the rapper-turned-actor was leaving the 11th Street Diner in Miami's trendy South Beach district in the early hours of Sunday (26.03.06).

Eyewitness Thomas Barker told America's New York Post newspaper: "The restaurant was packed with transvestites, gay men and drag queens, which obviously made him a little edgy.

"When a young gay guy came up behind Busta and tapped him on the shoulder to congratulate the rapper on his recent comeback.

He added: "Before the guy could even mutter a word, Busta turned around and repeatedly screamed, 'Why the f**k you touchin' me, man? Get the f**k away from me'.

It's claimed the 'Break Ya Neck' rapper then whispered to one of his bodyguards: "I hate f*****g faggots, man'."

Rhymes is believed to still be upset by the murder of one of his minders, and long-term friend, Israel Ramirez, in February.

The father-of-three was fatally shot in the chest outside a Brooklyn warehouse, in New York, where the rapper had been filming a music video with fellow hip-hop legend Missy Elliot and G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks.

Hip Hop gets a pass for its hostility to gay people,
if this were a country singer the left would
be talking about rednecks.

The truth is Busta like so many other
artist will get an easy pass!
Hate and bigotry can not possibly come
from the left.

Yeahhhhh!
