Busta Rhymes in process of applying for SA citizenship

Trevor George Smith Jr, most commonly known as Busta Rhymes, recently spent some time in South Africa to perform at the popular DSTV Delicious Festival. 

Rhymes seemed to enjoy the country so much that he now wants to apply for South African citizenship.

In a video posted on X, the American rapper said: "Joburg, thanks for having me back. Don't take so long bringing me back. We have established our family and loving relationship with one of Africa's good sons."

"Please bring it back. Let's do the honourable thing. Let's work within the African people and the way we are supposed to. Let's do the right thing. That’s not nice," he said.

"I want that iPhone 12, f**k you. I am not joking. I am smiling because I am happy. I am not happy about this lady's pain," he told the clubgoers.
