The 2023 BET Awards took place earlier tonight at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, where Busta Rhymes received a huge honour. The legendary rap icon was honoured with a lifetime achievement award at cultures biggest night. The award is in recognition of industry pioneers who made a notable impact on culture and entertainment.
The rapper was introduced by Marlon Wayans at the ceremony. “Every song this man has done, he’s been a part of other people’s hits and been stealing hits for years,” Wayans said. “If you know Busta, we are all happy for Busta in this room ‘cause everybody knows he deserves it. He’s a good brother, a great dude.”

“I’m (going to) wear it on my sleeve. I do want to cry,” said an emotional Busta Rhymes. “I’m going to say I am grateful that the blessing that has been bestowed upon me and this gift that I have been given and this fire that continues to burn as a passion in my soul, that allows me to get into any situation – from the stage to collabing with whoever – and making sure that I am far from the weak link. Because I enjoy walking away from a situation saying, ‘I bust a*s!'”
