Busta Rhymes, the iconic rap artist, is welcoming the year 2026 with a great appreciation and invincible strength looking back at a period which he very much liked to call “life changing.” In a post that was both intuitive and fiery, the veteran musician took us through his route to happiness, a myriad of professional fruits, and his strong vow that he would still not stop learning. He not only wrapped up the defining year of 2025, which brought him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame among other accolades, but also shared this news.

The vibes were nothing less than the real Busta at its best—full energy. The communication style was all caps, a flood of crown and fire emojis, and a request to WATCH THIS TO THE END. He meant it. It was a visual that went with the words and was very convincing; it was telling the story of his impact through the decades: 20 million album sales, 12 Grammy nominations, collaborations with companies like Ray-Ban and Doritos, and being initiated into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2025. The point being made was crystal clear—this is not just a career summary; it is a proof of gratitude. He called the past few years the ‘ICENING ON THE CAKE’ moment, a period when he had so many flowers that he even had to come up with a new term for it: ‘receiving your botanical garden.’ But the presentation was all about the future. ‘IT’S 2026 TIME!!!! LET’S GOOOOO,’ he shouted, hinting that the legendary run has not yet come to an end.
The audience’s reactions were in sync with the same cheerful and encouraging mood. Other singers and long-time fans were quick to comment, offering congrats and sharing their eagerness for the future. Ghostcarter Goharder, one of the artists, shouted, ‘500% ILLLLLLL MY BIG BROSKIIIII!!!! AND BEYOND WELL DESERVED!’ The concept of unavoidable triumph was subtly highlighted throughout. Another user, who claims to have a long-standing relationship with the musician, said: ‘I have been a fan ever since leader of the new school,’ thus, opposing the different age reach that Busta indicated in his video.
Congratulations were pouring in, but a few comments provided a more mystical perspective that coincided with Busta’s ‘let go and let God’ theme. A guy said on the chat, ‘Be fit and take things easy… May the angels dwell with you and in your heart and guide you only to success.’ It was a moment of quiet reflection amidst the excitement, signaling the rapper’s personal growth that he had just mentioned. Another simply said, ‘Godly body of work,’ which encapsulates the awe factor that most people have for his entrance to culture.
Most comments were more uplifting, but a couple just couldn’t resist the temptation of a little industry promotion, as one user pointed to the new album of La The Darkman. However, even that incident seemed like yet another part of the ecosystem that Busta creates—a sphere where hip-hop thrives and artists support each other. The mood was that of a veteran who was not just resting on his past achievements but was also skillfully and actively using them, a veteran who always had a loyal group of friends that stood by him through his ups and downs in his career.

This fiery message about unstoppable blessings is part of a series, including a powerful declaration that God is the greatest. He also recently had a tense viral exchange with a fan and announced a new collaboration with Swizz Beatz. Fans can look back at his fiery holiday message where he declared the blessings never stop.
