Busta Rhymes got a young TikTok creator all in check over the weekend after he boldly and incorrectly identified the rapper as "Saturday Night Live" alum Tracy Morgan. The "Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check" and "Calm Down" rap veteran, 53, sternly set the record straight for the social media troll during an exchange Sunday at Art Basel in Miami Beach.
Rapping over the singer's own classic 2000 single "One Mo'Gin," the often frenetic Rhymes spends several minutes lovingly celebrating both the man and the artist. (Before letting the remainder of the seven-minute track play out to haunting effectiveness.) Whether you're a fan of one artist and/or both, it's the kind of homage that cuts to the beating heart of D'Angelo's singular legacy.
The MTV VMAs rocked UBS Arena with a lineup of stellar performances, alongside honoring major contributions in music. This year's awards show marks the seventh time that the event has taken place in New York, with the VMAs coming to UBS Arena for the first time last year.

Several celebrities were spotted on the red carpet, including Doja Cat, Jessica Simpson, Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Tyla, Ashlee Simpson, KATSEYE, GloRilla, Yungblud, Nikki Glaser, Lenny Kravitz, Alix Earle, and Ice Spice.
