After dropping bars from "Unleash Me," Busta Rhymes didn't lose a step delivering his classic rapid-fire "Look At Me Now" verse.
With things heating up, Busta Rhymes then took off his jacket (to reveal a matching vest underneath) as he instructed the audience to do his dance, "the Busabus." He had the Tonight Show audience on their feet as he told them to clap along, while also having them "shake it out, smooth it out," and "get crazy with it" — which they absolutely did.
The following morning, on January 7, Busta Rhymes posted a video on Instagram of him in the recording studio watching his performance on The Tonight Show, which was the talk show's first new episode of 2025.
"The blessings don't stop so we won't ever stop," he wrote in the caption, tagging Jimmy Fallon, Spiff Star, DJ Scratch, and The Roots, adding that the performance was "a movement and a celebration."
