The veteran rapper disclosed this while addressing fans during his performance at the Detty December Fest, where he spoke openly about his growing connection to Nigeria and his long-delayed visit to the country.

According to Busta Rhymes, the trip held deep personal significance, as it took him 15 years to finally make the journey.

He noted that the experience has left a lasting impression on him and sparked serious thoughts about starting a new chapter of his life in the country.

During his onstage remarks, the hip-hop icon said he was actively considering putting down roots in Nigeria, including building a family and investing in property.

“I’m looking for a home here, I’m looking for property. I’m thinking about looking for a wife so that when I stop working, I can settle down here,” Busta Rhymes stated.

The 53-year-old rapper, who is currently unmarried, is a father of six and has enjoyed a decades-long career as one of hip-hop’s most influential figures.

His comments drew loud cheers from the crowd and have since sparked conversations online, with fans welcoming his interest in Nigeria and praising the country’s growing appeal to global music stars.

Busta Rhymes’ remarks add to a growing list of international artists who have expressed admiration for Nigeria’s culture, people, and creative energy, especially during the annual Detty December celebrations that continue to position the country as a global entertainment hub.

• Busta Rhymes charged with assaulting staff who was on the phone during work

Legendary rapper Busta Rhymes, born Trevor George Smith Jr., is facing legal trouble after being accused of assaulting his assistant, Dashiel Gables, in an incident that occurred on January 10, 2025, in Brooklyn, New York.

The altercation reportedly began when the 52-year-old rapper became upset that Gables was using his phone during work hours. The dispute escalated in the lobby of Gables’ apartment building in the Dumbo neighborhood, where Busta allegedly punched the 50-year-old assistant multiple times, leaving him with a swollen left eye.

Following the incident, Busta Rhymes reportedly fled the scene while Gables contacted emergency services. Gables was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries.

On January 14, the rapper voluntarily turned himself into authorities and was charged with assault. He is scheduled to appear in court on February 2, 2025, to face the charges.

This isn’t the first time Busta Rhymes has had legal issues. In 2006, he was arrested for third-degree assault after striking a man who spat on his car.

The following year, he faced charges of assaulting his former driver, which led to a six-month jail sentence. Additionally, in 2008, he was temporarily denied entry to the UK due to unresolved convictions.

Busta Rhymes, known for his iconic hits and electrifying performances, now faces new scrutiny as this case unfolds.
