Busta Rhymes arrested for throwing protein shake at gym worker’s head

The rapper was charged with second-degree assault after throwing his protein shake at a gym worker.

Busta Rhymes was arrested on Wednesday night after throwing a protein shake at a gym employee’s head in New York City, because Busta was fully equipped and came with all the supplies.

Earlier this week, Busta attempted to bring a cameraman into Chelsea’s Steel Gym with him, so he could record his workout. The gym employee in question did not like this, and refused the cameraman entry.

On Wednesday, after a scuffle that involved mutual water-throwing, Busta hurled the protein shake, which was either chocolate or strawberry and either Muscle Milk or Lean Body, but almost certainly was a whey composite, at the gym employee's head.

“This has been going on for a long time,” another gym employee told The New York Daily News.

The gym employee suffered “lacerations” but is widely expected to survive.
