Well, she should have known that if she really wanted to party with him, to put her hands where his eyes could see. So I think the moral of the story here is.. keep your hands to yourself.
Fans are often known to push boundaries, but Busta Rhymes wasn’t having it with a woman who grabbed him. The Rap legend is a relatively unproblematic figure in Hip Hop, and he’s not the type to unleash on supporters. However, a video surfaced on showing an unfortunate encounter that reportedly occurred Monday (February 13) while Bus was in Las Vegas.
According to reports, Busta was at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the MAGIC Fashion Trade Show. In the brief video, he can be seen making his way through a small crowd with his team on both sides. Then, a woman comes up behind him and quickly grabs his behind. The rapper swings around, looking visibly upset, and immediately throws his drink.
The woman looked as if she was smiling or laughing before the drink toss. However, her later reaction wasn’t caught on tape, but she reportedly spoke with the folks over at The Shade Room about the altercation. She was identified as Nikita Mathis, owner of Platinum Plus Fashions Boutique. Additionally, Mathis insisted that she didn’t intend to touch Busta inappropriately and was only excited to see the Rap icon.
“I didn’t mean to touch his behind honestly I was just happy to meet him and wanted a pic,” she further said. “Been a long time fan I admit I shouldn’t have touch him at all but he’s BUSTA I felt like I could possibly get a pic.” Still, Mathis’s explanation was criticized by people who claimed she shouldn’t have touched the rapper at all.

Many people also noted that if the roles were reversed and this was a woman who was a legendary artist being groped by a man, people would be up in arms. Watch the brief clip above and read through a few reactions from fans below and let us know your thoughts. Was Busta’s reaction justified?
A lot of people laughed and felt he overreacted! How?? She violated his space! She grabbed his butt without consent! If he turned and swung, and she went night night y’all would be in an uproar. Busta needs that same energy y’all give men that do this. #bustarhymes #Tuesday pic.twitter.com/6qXsrQcQbb

A female fan gabbed @BustaRhymes 's butt at an event and nothing is being done- If it was a male fan who gabbed a female celeb's butt or it was Busta Rhymes who gabbed a female fan's butt, he would have been sued for sexual harassment – He might have lost everything in that case pic.twitter.com/7YRno8qFyR
