A woman and her sister book a New York City hotel room and come away feeling like the victims of a bait-and-switch scheme. Here’s what happened.
TikTok creator Kenny (@kennycorndog) posted a video about the incident on Nov. 22. The video starts with Kenny showing her sister on the phone with the hotel front desk.
Then, she goes to the window, which has a “view”—a pull-down blind with the New York City skyline screen-printed on it. She lets the blinds up, and the city is visible, as promised. However, it is a lackluster view.
Viewers React to New York City Hotel View
Of course, a gander into the comments will draw a hearty laugh. “Hotel worker here. That’s definitely a city view. What you see outside that window is… city,” said one person.
A second person claimed, without proof, “That’s called a bait-and-switch, and is very much illegal.”
Another commenter said: “It’s a city view… just not the perfect one you dreamed up in your head.” This is likely the most accurate explanation.
Some cited an obvious logistical issue. “I’m genuinely curious as to how you wanted to see the skyline of Manhattan while also being inside Manhattan?” asked one commenter.
Others were more sympathetic. “As a hotel manager I KNOW, and I’m SORRY,” one woman said. “The staff probably hate it as much as you do, since the wording is controlled by sales/corporate. But if you’re nice, I swear we’ll give you free vouchers.”
Booking a Hotel with a Nice View of Manhattan
There are some mid-tier hotels with nice views of Manhattan, such as the somewhat notable Millennium Hilton in Midtown or the Hyatt in Chelsea. However, after a brief scroll down in the comments, things become clearer.
It seems the sisters were staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Times Square South. The entire affair makes more sense just by looking at the filthy couch her sister is sitting on. Unless the fine print promised a specific view, lower-end hotels aren’t likely to deliver.
A true bait-and-switch scheme generally involves a company offering a ridiculous discount. Then, when a customer comes to redeem the deal, the business directs the customer to another (more expensive) product or tacks on additional fees.
People have been tricked into seeing fake skylines for ages. If you’re a fan of the lawyer-centric show “Suits,” then you’ve seen something similar. The show was filmed in Toronto, which is a strong doppelganger for the American metropolis, but they needed to mimic a Manhattan backdrop.
All Hip Hop reached out to Kenny (@kennycorndog) and Marriott for more information.
Damon Dash and The Dash Group, a company he operates with his girlfriend Raquel Horn, is staring down a $10 million lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court after filmmaker Josh Webber accused the Hip-Hop mogul of torpedoing a major movie deal by publicly branding him a criminal.
The complaint alleges defamation, interference with business relations and false statements stemming from a long-running feud between the two men. At the heart of the case is Dash’s repeated claim that Webber was involved in racketeering, an accusation Webber says is entirely baseless and cost him a lucrative opportunity.
According to the lawsuit, Webber had secured a $10 million agreement in August 2025 to direct and produce a film titled TORN. But the deal unraveled just weeks later, after Dash’s public comments allegedly scared off investors.
Interestingly, The Dash Group, a Florida-based LLC, is not among the companies listed in Dash’s bankruptcy filing, so its assets are fair game.
He then appeared on The Breakfast Club in New York City, where he dismissed a prior legal judgment Webber had won and claimed bankruptcy shielded him from paying. During the same interview, Damon Dash announced plans to sue Webber for RICO violations.
Webber says Damon Dash didn’t stop there. On September 17, 2025, Dash allegedly sent Webber a text message threatening to file a civil RICO case and demanding $100 million, with a 14-day response deadline.
The lawsuit alleges that Dash then posted the message to Instagram, accompanied by mocking captions and emojis.
Webber says the post quickly drew attention from entertainment media and raised red flags with investors tied to TORN. According to the complaint, one investor demanded that Webber be removed from the project on the basis of reputational risk.
This lawsuit is the latest round in a years-long legal fight between the two men, dating back to their work on the independent film Dear Frank. Their dispute has played out in multiple courtrooms since the late 2010s.
In 2022, a New York jury found Dash liable for copyright infringement related to the film.
A federal judge later upheld that verdict. Webber also secured a separate $4 million defamation judgment after Dash made statements about him on a business podcast.
As part of enforcement efforts, courts authorized actions against Dash’s assets, including the sale of his stake in Roc-A-Fella Records.
Dash has maintained that the rulings were unjust and has continued to accuse Webber and others of wrongdoing. The new lawsuit argues Dash crossed the line by labeling Webber a criminal, despite no court ever finding him guilty of racketeering.
Webber is seeking at least $10 million in damages, along with punitive damages and legal costs. He’s also demanding a jury trial. Dash has not yet filed a response in court.
Cardi B made headlines Sunday when she was spotted celebrating with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft in his luxury suite at Gillette Stadium, creating an unlikely yet heartwarming moment that had fans buzzing across social media.
The Grammy-winning rapper was dressed to impress in an expensive-looking fur coat and glowing white hair as she watched her boyfriend, Stefon Digg.
New England trailed 24-13 in the fourth quarter before staging a comeback, scoring two late touchdowns to take the lead. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye threw for around 380 yards and two touchdowns as part of his first 300-yard passing game of the season.
The Patriots also forced a late fumble that helped seal the win. With the victory, New England clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2021, improving their record to 12-3 and keeping pace atop the AFC standings.
Heartwarming: Stefon Diggs’ rapper girlfriend Cardi B celebrating with Patriots owner Robert Kraft in his owner’s box after beating the Ravens.
Kraft’s connection to Hip-Hop culture runs deeper than this single moment with Cardi.
The Patriots’ owner has long supported rap artists, most notably developing a close friendship with Jay-Z. Kraft has also publicly supported Meek Mill, particularly during the Philadelphia rapper’s legal battles, and has been photographed at various Hip-Hop events and award shows.
The Patriots’ victory over Baltimore was significant for multiple reasons beyond the celebrity sightings. The win improved New England’s record to 12-3, keeping them firmly in the AFC playoff race.
Sherrone Moore faces mounting accusations from five women who say the disgraced Michigan coach made unwanted advances over several years.
The 39-year-old married father was fired from his $5 million coaching job and arrested for home invasion and stalking after allegedly breaking into his assistant’s apartment.
The latest claims paint Moore as someone who used social media to target women with inappropriate messages.
One woman said Moore slid into her DMs on November 1, right after his team beat Purdue. She thought it was a fake account at first. Moore would respond to women’s Instagram stories with fire emojis and ask.
“How did we start following each other,” when he had followed them first.
In one exchange, he offered to fly a woman to Michigan. When she asked if she’d be “holed up in some hotel,” Moore replied: “I guess we will have to see! I would say yes but you would also have a driver haha.”
The coach’s questionable behavior extends beyond recent allegations.
The music mogul was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison in 2025 after being convicted on charges related to transporting people for prostitution.
Moore’s downfall began when Michigan fired him for having an “inappropriate relationship” with executive assistant Paige Shiver.
Hours later, he allegedly broke into her apartment and threatened to kill himself. Police arrested him on charges of breaking and entering, home invasion and stalking.
The coach spent two nights in jail before posting $25,000 bond. If convicted on all counts, he could face up to six years behind bars. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His lawyer, Ellen Michaels, said Moore “denies any criminal wrongdoing” and called the allegations speculation. Moore’s wife, Kelli, appears to be standing by him despite the scandal. The couple has three children together.
Jaylen Brown fired back at critics with championship swagger after his hair product became the talk of the NBA.
The Boston Celtics star didn’t back down from the viral moments that had social media buzzing. Brown’s hair enhancement product left visible marks on three different opponents’ jerseys during games in October and November.
Similar transfers occurred with Detroit Pistons player Ron Holland and Washington Wizards player Kyshawn George in subsequent games.
The 29-year-old Finals MVP turned the embarrassment into fuel for his championship mentality.
“They’re lucky that I left my mark on them,” Brown told People. “I should get a thank you card: You have the residue of a champion on you. You’re welcome.”
Brown began experiencing hair thinning about 1 to 2 years ago. He tried topical solutions and serums, but nothing worked effectively.
The stress of Boston’s high-pressure championship environment worsened the problem.
“It’s the high expectation to win [the championship], or the season is a failure,” Brown explained about playing in Boston. The 2024 NBA champion said being a star player means “every win and every loss has an impact.”
Barbers typically use sprays and enhancement products to smooth hairlines and conceal thinning areas. Brown’s intense playing style and physical contact during games caused these products to transfer onto opponents’ clothing.
He is turning the publicity from the humiliation into a massive business opportunity by partnering with hair growth supplement brand Nutrafol to address his thinning hair head-on. The collaboration aims to destigmatize conversations about hair loss for millions who experience similar issues.
The hair loss industry is a massive global business. The treatment market was valued at $2.49 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $3.57 billion by 2032.
The broader hair care market hit $106.91 billion in 2024. Hair restoration services alone generated $7.52 billion in 2024, with predictions that they will grow to $34.17 billion in the coming years.
“When embarrassment, failure, loss, anything like that happens, there’s two ways you can go,” Brown said. “It can be spirit breaking, and you can go into a little shell and try to hide from it, or you can use it as fuel, get more focus, get more discipline, get more locked in, and go out and maximize your potential.”
Ralph McDaniels didn’t need a stage or spotlight to command attention.
Holding a microphone on the after a show with Styles P and Millyz, the architect behind Video Music Box spoke with calm authority, exactly how one expects of someone who helped define how Hip-Hop learned to see itself.
“Uncle Ralph,” as he’s affectionately known, made it clear that the brand has always spoken louder than titles.
For many viewers, Video Music Box was their first real connection to Hip-Hop and the companies like BET (“Rap City”) and MTV (“YO! MTV Raps”) followed. The difference is, Uncle Ralph is still here and so is his creation.
Uncle Ralph said he gets stories from viewer that have grown up on VMB all the time.
“I get it all the time from all different types of people,” he told AHH’s SlopsShotYa. “People tell me, I learned how to dress watching Video Music Box. I learned how to talk watching Video Music Box. I learned about Nas. I learned about Jay-Z. I learned about Shabba (Ranks). I learned about Super Cat. Whatever it was, they tell me.”
Those visuals were often captured in unpredictable and sometimes volatile environments. When asked how dangerous the venues really were, McDaniels didn’t hesitate.
“Oh yeah, nah. You don’t realize it when you young, you in danger,” he said. “But I’ve been through many shootouts and all kind of stabbings and all kind of stuff. I mean, not me personally happened to me, but around me. And we went back and did it again the next day. It was nothing.”
Now, that history is being preserved piece by piece.
McDaniels confirmed that a massive archival effort is underway to digitize decades of footage. “If you go to videomusicboxcollection.org, that’s the whole site that we have for digitizing and getting it out there,” he explained. “So curating these type of things like the old shows or just a 90s show or 90s interviews or 90s performances or all the summer jams, we shot all of those.”
Select clips have also been appearing online. “My YouTube is Video Music Box 1,” McDaniels said, noting that some of the recent releases caught even seasoned Hip-Hop heads off guard.
“We recently put out some Jay-Z stuff that people hadn’t seen from the Reasonable Doubt album with Memphis Bleek and Foxy Brown,” he said. “People were like, yo… you never saw it. A lot of jewels and rare footage like that.”
McDaniels admitted he never saw Hip-Hop taking it this far.
Speaking on his early relationship with embattled mogul Sean “Diddy Combs, he said, “I know him as an 18-year old kid. He was my stage manager when I was doing Harlem Week.” Still, McDaniels remains optimistic about his former worker. “God will work everything out. I’ve seen situations where I thought that it was dark. It was too dark and then the light comes through.”
As he signed off, McDaniels gave an appreciative salute.
“Big shout out to all the people that have been following me back in the days from 1983 to now,” he said. “Just do your thing. Have fun.”
The moment you hear his new music, it is easy to tell that Brodie Fresh is moving differently.
Fresh has a renewed purpose. The Long Island native sits down to unpack the real story behind his music, his life and the journey that shaped him. From growing up as a preacher’s kid and witnessing firsthand the sacrifices that come with faith and family, to navigating the streets, jail time, marriage and fatherhood. All of this collides with independence in the music business and a new Gangsta Grillz project with DJ Drama.
Brodie speaks with clarity and honesty. His new record “Glory,” a deeply personal tribute to his late father, has resonated far beyond expectations. He’s beyond chasing club formulas or typical features. In this conversation with AllHipHop, Brodie Fresh tells Slopsshotya how survival mode molded his mindset, why balance matters more now than ever, and what he’s still chasing now.
Now a resident of Houston, Texas, Brodie lives in a homegrown ecosystem where artists can build deep in-state. That’s the intersection Brody Fresh resides in: a Long Island artist living in Houston, telling a preacher’s-kid story with street chapters, family scars and a brave, new mission.
AllHipHop: Now that you’re in Houston, is that getting integrated into the music?
Brodie Fresh: I wouldn’t say Houston’s integrated, but some of their grind is definitely integrated. Houston is really underground, building up. When you think of Pimp C and a lot of their artists, they homegrown and they really built theyself up in their city. But us being from New York, Texas is so big that an artist could survive in Texas alone. You could perform San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston and you still got places eight, nine hours away and you still in the same state. They big on building their platforms in their home state.
AllHipHop: When I went to the club out there, it felt like the young kids still know the oldies. And they don’t really play too much New York music.
Brodie Fresh: They don’t. You hit a 50 Cent and like a Pop Smoke. That’s one of those.
AllHipHop: And don’t ask them for no reggae.
Brodie Fresh: Oh no. It’s over for that. You got to go to a brunch and you might get Afrobeat.
AllHipHop: You’ve got an EP coming, and Preacher’s Kid feels like the big one. Is this your debut album?
Brodie Fresh: Yeah, I would say so. I never really call something a full-on album. But at the point I’m at, it’s like that one.
AllHipHop: The irony is it’s hosted by DJ “Pastor” Drama. Usually, when Drama hosts, people think Gangsta Grillz mixtape. What separates the old Gangsta Grillz mixtape feel from a project like yours?
Brodie Fresh: It technically is Gangsta Grillz still, but more recently Drama started venturing into more albums. He did a Gangsta Grillz album with Symba. He got the Grammy with Tyler. He just did the new album with Jeezy. So for me, Preacher’s Kid is me embodying myself and telling my story, being a preacher’s kid, and what that’s like, from every angle.
AllHipHop: Are the rumors true about PKs?
Brodie Fresh: It’s funny because I was having that conversation the other day. Everywhere you go, they like, “Oh, the PKs is the worst.” It’s never really been highlighted why. So it’s stuff I talk about. There’s a song called “Collection Plate.” I’m essentially talking about the fact that I feel like the church owes us. They owe my family because they took away so much time from my pops, from us, because they needed him.
I could have a basketball game on Sunday at 2:30 and church end at 2. He gonna come straight from church but Sister Mary needs him, she crying. So now he ends up talking to her and missing my game. It’s a lot of time we need with our parents, we end up missing out because they got to be there for all these adults.
And once you get older, you start realizing a lot of these things were things people could have handled on their own, but they were irresponsible or not taking accountability. So they cry on the pastor and try to get an answer for things they really knew what they needed to change. But it took a lot of time away from the family.
AllHipHop: You’re married, you’re a traveling artist. How do you not repeat cycles?
Brodie Fresh: I try to create a work-life balance. I’m still working on it. I can’t say I’m perfect, but I do my best. With my kids, I talk to my kids every day. I have two kids that don’t live with me. The ones that do live with me, they see me every morning. I’m there with them every single day. We take them out every week and just be there, be present.
As we got older, we didn’t understand why our parents was gone so much, but they were in survival mode. Especially us being from Long Island. My pops from Harlem. My mom from Queens. Them moving to Elmont at that time was like an award, like, “Yo we made it out to Long Island.” But what comes with that is more bills. So now it’s taking away more of our time because we at work all day long, two jobs to maintain this new life.
AllHipHop: What’s the difference between Preacher’s Kid and Altar Call?
Brodie Fresh: Preacher’s Kid breaks down a bunch of different stories. It’s not a church album. I experienced every walk of life. Being outside, gangster stuff, going to jail, different things. I’m telling all that in a story that’s bringing light but not praising the wrong things. Just showing what happened in my life that drew me to those things.
Altar Call is like bringing yourself to God and making that change. It’s building up to Preacher’s Kid where I talk about the necessary changes I made and what I went through that caused me to make those changes, then I go into the life story.
AllHipHop: Did you run this series past your dad? What would his feelings be?
Brodie Fresh: My dad passed in 2022. When he was here, we talked about it all the time. My pops didn’t grow up in church. He turned to God at a certain point. He got shot. My dad was a below-the-knee amputee, so he had one leg.
For him, it was like he could reach the people that decided they wanted God and wanted to change. And I could reach the people that feel like they don’t know yet. As I got older, I realized for me, church and God was just knowing what’s right and what’s wrong. Doing your best to do what’s right and the least of what’s wrong.
He would be like, “You can reach people that haven’t decided yet or haven’t taken accountability.” They look at you and feel like, “I could relate to him.” They feel more comfortable hearing it from me than hearing it from a pastor because they feel like they being talked down on, not talked to, or talked with. So he was cool with it. Big supporter.
AllHipHop: Do you think about him when you’re making something like this?
Brodie Fresh: Absolutely. This album is dedicated to my pops. I want to tell our story, and tell parts of his story, because he made it through a lot. People need to see other people made it through something they going through to be able to get through it.
AllHipHop: Any dream collaborations for this inspirational lane?
Brodie Fresh: I’m trying to do something with Kirk Franklin. I’m working with a couple different people trying to get in that lane.
AllHipHop: What do you want this project to do for you? Numbers, touring, impact?
Brodie Fresh: Ultimately, that next level up. I’ve been blessed. I toured almost every year since 2013. Most recently I came off tour with Dom Kennedy in April. I toured with Nipsey Hussle, Conway the Machine, Benny the Butcher, Boldy James. I want to get to where I can be the headliner, gain that next level of fan base, and really grow that base.
AllHipHop: What did you learn from those tours?
Brodie Fresh: Consistency and building your team.
AllHipHop: You got the right team now?
Brodie Fresh: I’m getting there. About 80% there.
AllHipHop: What’s missing?
Brodie Fresh: A couple little pieces. Management is coming together, but it’s more than just one person. I always managed myself. Never had a manager my entire career. I got myself on tours by building relationships and doing it myself. I’m trying to get to that point where I can fall back and not try to do everything. When you love it so much, and people let you down, you like, “I ain’t giving nobody a shot. I’ll do it myself.” This project is so special, it has to be done correctly.
AllHipHop: Any features on it?
Brodie Fresh: Yeah. I got my man Lights from Philly. I got a record with Sauce Walka. Houston leaked in there a little.
AllHipHop: AllHipHop tradition. Give us your Top five.
Brodie Fresh: Jadakiss. Jay-Z. J. Cole. Kendrick. Drake. People hate Drake, but in my opinion, he one of the greatest artists to ever live. He like LeBron, you gonna get the hate.
AllHipHop: Do you think we’ll ever get another generation of goats with 10-plus years staying power?
Brodie Fresh: I feel like it’s coming back around. We got to adapt. Times change. Branding is so important now because people want to see people’s lives, understand their lives, see how they relate. A lot of these people aren’t even who they say in their music. So seeing who you are outside the music might bring it back to people keeping somebody around.
AllHipHop: Some people think labels might not want anybody that powerful again.
Brodie Fresh: It’s how you look at success. I had a point where I was like, “Man, I’m quitting.” I talked to somebody I look up to, he played in the NFL. He got injured and couldn’t play no more. I asked him how he coped. He said, “First off, you got it wrong. I didn’t love it. I loved what it could do for me.” He said when you started music, what did you want?
A Las Vegas grandmother shares a video of a strange material floating in a bottle of Walmart-brand Parent’s Choice water. Viewers are in disbelief and grossed out.
TikTok creator Toni (@toni4jesus) posted a video with the woman’s discovery on Nov. 11. “I felt something weird coming from the bottle and I immediately stopped drinking it,” the other in the video says. “I had already swallowed a couple of gulps. I dumped the rest of this bottle into this glass.”
The woman then proceeds to show viewers the bottle she was drinking from: Parent’s Choice, which, according to the label, is fluoride free. In the cup, viewers can see two globs of white material floating in the water. Toni tells the woman to spray the material with alcohol, which she does. “It starts moving,” she says.
“Found parasites in bottled water,” says the video’s layered text. The video has almost 3,000 likes and over 78,300 views.
Las Vegas Woman Finds ‘Parasites’ in Bottled Water
In the comments, viewers discuss what the “parasites” could actually be and expressed disgust at their appearance in this bottled water.
“That’s why I drink tap water filtered by me,” said one viewer.
“She didn’t see that in the clear bottle???” asked a second person. Toni replied, “I think it was because the bottle was so small. It’s the 8-oz bottle. The label actually covers most of the bottle. When you don’t inspect your water first, you wouldn’t realize until you feel it in your mouth.”
Another viewer guessed, “Bacterial colony.”
Is Bottled Water Safe to Drink?
There are several options for clean water sources. In some cities, tap water is perfectly safe to drink. Other households prefer to purify their tap water with a filtration system. And of course, then there’s bottled water. But what’s actually the safest choice?
While bottled water is often considered the safest option for drinking, there are other solid options. One drawback from bottled water is that it may contain microplastics.
“Studies have shown that some bottled water can contain microplastics, chemicals from plastic leaching, and even bacteria if not stored properly,” says the pipe company Reliable Services.
This company recommends a high-quality home water filtration system. That way you can skip the microplastics altogether.
One of those studies in particular found that antimony, a contaminant from industrious sources like mining and natural leaching, was found in several bottled water brands in Europe and Canada.
All Hip Hop has reached out to Toni for comment via TikTok message and comment. We also reached out to Walmart, Parent’s Choice umbrella company, via email.
A$AP Rocky landed his first SNL musical guest spot on January 17, marking a career milestone after beating felony assault charges and preparing for his biggest year yet.
According to Deadline, the Harlem rapper will perform on Saturday Night Live for the first time when the show returns from its Christmas break. Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things will host the NBC program on January 17.
Rocky previously appeared on SNL in 2018 during Donald Glover’s hosting stint, but this marks his debut as the featured musical act. This SNL booking comes at the perfect time for A$AP Rocky.
The case stemmed from a 2021 shooting incident involving his former friend A$AP Relli. Rocky faced up to 24 years in prison if convicted.
The legal victory cleared the path for Rocky’s biggest moves yet. He dropped the bombshell that his long-delayed fourth album, Don’t Be Dumb, finally has a release date. The project hits streaming platforms on January 16, 2026 – just one day before his SNL performance. Rocky has been teasing this album for years, but legal drama kept pushing the release back.
“It’s the perfect time for both me and Rihanna to be more active,” Rocky said in a recent interview about his career plans.
Speaking of Rihanna, the power couple welcomed their third child in September 2025. Baby girl Rocki Irish Mayers was born on September 13, joining big brothers RZA and Riot Rose.
The growing family has kept Rocky motivated through his most challenging year.
Rocky also locked down a major fashion deal after Chanel named him a brand ambassador, cementing his status as a style icon. The luxury fashion house partnership adds another revenue stream as Rocky prepares to roll out his album.
His SNL appearance will give him a massive platform to promote Don’t Be Dumb to millions of viewers. The timing couldn’t be better – performing on national television just weeks before his album drops.
Rocky has always been a dynamic live performer, and SNL’s stage will showcase his energy to a mainstream audience.
The January 17 show represents Rocky’s full comeback story. He went from facing decades in prison to celebrating legal victory, new fatherhood, luxury brand deals and his most anticipated album yet.
Busta Rhymes lit up Lagos with more than just his music Friday night when he told a roaring crowd at Detty December Fest that he’s not only looking to buy property in Nigeria, but also to find a wife.
The Hip-Hop veteran made the unexpected announcement during his performance at Ilubirin in Ikoyi, marking his first time back in Nigeria in 15 years.
The Brooklyn-born rapper paused mid-set to share his plans with the audience, who responded with cheers and disbelief.
“Even though it took 15 years, we are home. This trip was special to me because it wasn’t just about a show. I’m looking for a home here, I’m looking for property,” he said. “I’m thinking about looking for a wife so that when I stop, I can settle down here. There will be a few Nigerian slash Jamaican grandchildren.”
The moment quickly became the night’s most talked-about highlight, with social media buzzing about his declaration. The rapper, who has six children with four women but has never been married, is making a real statement about his future.
As for his show, Busta Rhymes didn’t disappoint on stage.
He powered through a catalog of hits like “Touch It” and “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See,” while also weaving in Afrobeats rhythms that paid homage to the local sound.
The night also featured surprise guest appearances by Nigerian stars Tiwa Savage, M.I Abaga, and Ill Bliss, creating a cultural blend that reflected Busta’s growing connection to Nigeria.
His ties to the country run deeper than just admiration. He’s collaborated with Nigerian artists, including Burna Boy, and his interest in local real estate and family life suggests he’s thinking long-term.
With more than 20 million albums sold globally and a recent Hollywood Walk of Fame star award in 2025, Busta remains one of Hip-Hop’s most legendary artists.
