Busta Rhymes Arrested

Rapper Busta Rhymes was arrested shortly after an appearance at Heineken's AmsterJam Festival last night (Aug. 19) on Randalls Island.

While details of the arrest were not immediately available, police claim Rhymes may have assaulted a concertgoer that allegedly spit on his car, after his performance around 5 p.m.

The New York Daily News reports that members of Rhymes' entourage were also arrested and that police used the opportunity to question Rhymes for hours, about the Feb. 5 slaying of his bodyguard Israel Ramirez. [ AllHipHop.com ]

I don't think Busta really did anything wrong. I bet it was just another ploy by the NYPD to get him to talk about Israel's death. Come on, even I know New York cops can be shifty. They've been hunting him down for months. Maybe Busta yelled at someone or perhaps he made a threat, but I'm not buying the assault statement. Not for now.
