Busta Rhymes Talks About The Near-Death Experience That Made Him Cry

by Daryl Nelson

Busta Rhymes is probably feeling really good these days. 

He just dropped his new album Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God. He also has a dope single that features Kendrick Lamar. The LP has earned Busta his seventh top 10 chart position on the Billboard 200.

But a while back, he wasn't feeling all that good physically and could've died. The rapper talked about developing Polyps in his throat, which his doctor told him about. [Jump to 1:00:39-mark].

"I’m like you need to tell me what the f*ck you seeing, I need to hear what's going on," Bus said he told the doctor. 

"‘Your polyps grew so big that it blocked 90 percent of your breathing passage and if I send you home tonight and you sleep under the AC and catch a cold and that last 10 percent of breathing of your breathing passage gets blocked up, you are going to die tonight,'" the doctor replied.

 "The moment was an emotional wake-up call. I just started crying," Busta stated.

It's good to see him healthier these days since he's recently lost a lot of weight.
