From Missy Elliott to Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes has collaborated with plenty of icons throughout his decorated career, but now he’s got his eyes on potentially working with a fellow New York-bred rap titan in Cardi B.
Bus-A-Bus linked up with Cardi B at Madison Square Garden on Monday night (May 12) as the pair was courtside taking in the New York Knicks playoff action, with NYK defeating the Boston Celtics to come within a win of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000.
Busta reposted a photo chopping it up with Cardi outside MSG on his Instagram early Wednesday (May 14), in which he posed the idea of hopping on a record with the Grammy-winning rapper.
“THE BLESSINGS DON’T STOP SO WE WON’T EVER STOP!! NEVERRRRRRR EVER EVER EVER,” he wrote. “SALUTE TO THE ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUEENS OF THE CULTURE @iamcardib WHAT IF ME & CARDI COOKED UP??!! I GOT YOU QUEEN, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU READY QUEEN!!”
Chuck D and plenty of fans lent their stamps of approval in Busta’s comment section of the rapper’s manifestations.
“Yesss, we’re here for this collaboration,” one fan wrote while another added, “YEEEESSSSSSSS ITS GOTTA HAPPEN!”
Cardi made headlines with her courtside MSG appearance, which seemingly hard launched her new relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs, who was sitting with the Bronx bombshell.
Busta Rhymes released his seven-track Dragon Season…. Equinox project earlier this year, while Cardi B has continued to tease her long-awaited sophomore album.
During an IG Live session at the top of May, Cardi blamed the delay of her album on feature verses from guests taking too long.
“I really need these f–king features,” she said in a repost of the session. “And it’s like I’m not really trying to press or go crazy on these artists because I love them down. But it’s like come on now! I need that! I need that right now! Helloooo! Y’all don’t want to miss this opportunity. I’ll sing this s–t myself! But I really need y’all and I need y’all to hurry up and I love y’all. I feel like nobody want to miss being on this album.”
