Busta Rhymes went off on a group of trolls outside a Miami event over the weekend.

While taking photos with people during an Art Basel event, the legendary rapper was approached by a white individual who called him Tracy Morgan. Busta promptly confronted the man and demanded "respect," as seen in footage captured by GTV Reality, per TMZ.

"I don't want your sorry. I just want you to understand when you play with people...you can't control their reaction," the "Break Ya Neck" rapper said in the video below.

After the man, who TMZ points out is a TikToker, swore that he wasn't trying to troll Busta, he was excused. The rapper then approached another fan who seemingly greeted him with the N-word, and said that he's "nobody's fucking n***a."

The cameraman behind GTV Reality later told Busta to "Stay Black" before he entered the event, which offended the rapper. GTV repeatedly told Busta that "stay black" is his slogan.

"So what else I'm supposed to be? You a clown now too?" an increasingly irate Busta said, as seen in the video. "Fuck you mean 'Stay Black?' I don't know that slogan. Don't say it to me. I'm not joking with you."

Busta continued to address the cameraman, telling him to "stop playing," warning him to stop talking, and almost putting hands on him.

At the same event, the young man who wrongly called Busta ""Tracy Morgan admitted to the cameraman that he was "trolling" the rapper. Earlier, the kid denied that he was doing so when Busta accused him of being "funny."

"I'm taking a picture to show love, and you're trying to be funny ... You don't play with a grown man, little boy. That's how people get fucked up," Busta told him.
