Damn Busta

Rapper Busta Rhymes stars in the new thriller “Breaking Point” in which he plays a a vicious Gang leader and a notorious drug dealer, however his real life troubles involving a 2006 shooting incident which left his longtime friend and bodyguard Israel Ramirez dead led to issues on the movie set. According to his co-star Tom Berenger,

“There was a whole thing with Busta Rhymes and the New York police on day one when I got there. I shot all my scenes that day in downtown Manhattan but they weren’t with him so it didn’t really affect me. There was something that had happened in a club involving him, where somebody had pulled a gun out or something like that. I really don’t recall the details but they were forbidden to shoot because of safety concerns. I never entirely understood it. The location department had to whip up a bunch of new locations that involved him. We had to shoot scenes with him over in Bayonne and Hoboken, New Jersey all in a row because he had to get to a concert in Portugal.”

Busta’s new movie which also features Stinky Fingaz from 90’s rap group Onyx is now playing in select theatres, for more information visit www.breakingpointthemovie.com.
