When the sun rises, new blessings, new strength to reach higher planes of vibrations,” said Busta Rhymes in his caption, followed by several crown emojis to signify royalty and the finest. “Blessed and easygoing Sunday. Stay blessed energy all the time. Bless up; God is the greatest!”

The picture captures Busta Rhymes reclining in a state of rare calmness, wearing a dark printed shirt and a white wristwatch. His general looseness, with one arm tucked behind his head and the other loosely spread out across his chest, made up the picture’s serene feeling. The embroidered pillow, which reads ”BUSTA,” brought a quaint closeness to the scene.
Good vibes were poured by admirers and fellow artists; they generally welcomed life chronicles in the comment section just after the post. Dancehall superstar Spice was concise but meaningful in her expression of respect, “I Love you Boss Man,” with blue heart emojis on. One user went on, recalling the memories: “Peace something we were trying to figure out the Prayer mat and your blanket as a child even pillow 4 your knees!!!! Soft no worries and your dreamz asking the Gods to make them come true in life!!!!”
Another festival seemed to have given Busta Rhymes a chance to shine all over London. “You killed the festival in London last week my G !!! Shout to you and @spliffstar_mrlewis,” comments seemed to give testimony to him proving his mettle and keeping the legend going in shows.
The comments above indicate that there had to have been many shows. One participant lamented missing his Syracuse drill because his kiddo came down sick, “Bummed I won’t get to see you tonight in Syracuse bc my kiddo came down sick. I’m sure it’ll be a wonderful show!!!” Another said, “Happy Sunday, see you tonight @TheNystatefair,” all of which point to the artists being slated to perform again.
Evidently, the spiritual message set forth by Busta resonated with his followers with full force. Several comments came in with “Amen” and prayer emojis; others echoed Busta’s sentiment: “God is the greatest.” One said, “He is the greatest! Have a great day king!” again showing the degree to which Busta’s message of faith hit the map with his vast fan base.
Interestingly enough, not all comments were spiritual or flattering—they were quite direct. One user wrote: “@bustarhymes let’s go to the gym lift some heavy as weights and do some cardio. Get your ass up bro” – just proving how eclectic fan interactions can be with celebrities on social media platforms.
Another user highlighting Busta Rhymes’ international influence started to comment in Spanish: “Good and blessed day for your relatives and you I hope you are with much health, you are invited to listen to LIFE IS PASSING EMBRACE YOUR PARENTS” with directions as to where to stream the song. Another user commented: “Afro Sound to the world” with the Nigerian and fire emoji.
Now, since the early ’90s when the Leaders of the New School were known, Busta Rhymes, formerly known as Trevor George Smith Jr., has been able to sustain his relevance for over 30 years. His ability to change over time, yet remain so vastly different from other rappers, has granted Busta Rhymes a degree of respect from hip-hop aficionados that span other generations. This latest social media post presents yet another dimension of the man that talks about spirituality, gratitude, and positive energy, all of which resonate deeply with his audience, who respect him not only for his musical legacy but also for his personal development.
That Sunday morning post reveals how celebrities can use social media to truly foster a connection with their fans, instead of always talking about promotions. By sharing private thoughts and spiritual views, artists like Busta Rhymes are able to bring back this connection on a much deeper level in terms of appreciation of seeing different sides to the artist.
