Busta on murder
Yahoo! Music, Jul 10, 2006 4:00 pm PDTBusta Rhymes has spoken publicly for the first time about the murder of his bodyguard earlier this year.
The rap star was on-set at a New York warehouse shooting the promo for "Touch It" in February, when a gun battle took place outside, resulting in the death of Israel Ramirez.
Busta was criticized by police at the time of the incident, after he apparently refused to discuss the killing and cooperate with their investigation.
He has now claimed not to have witnessed anything of the shooting until he saw his friend Ramirez dying.
Busta explains: "I don't really care about what anybody has to say. You don't really know who was the source of the problem, all you know is a handful of people were arguing with each other. We was inside shooting a video, and on the way outside, that's when everything happened, so I was told to stay inside. I really didn't get a chance to see what went down. When we went outside, that's when we saw my friend on the ground, dying slowly."
