Busta Rhymes Arrested After Amsterjam Festival

Hip hop star Busta Rhymes and members of his entourage were arrested on Saturday night shortly after appearing at the Heineken AmsterJam Festival on Randalls Island.

At this stage it's unknown exactly why the rapper was taken in, but it's believed that Rhymes might have assaulted a concertgoer that allegedly spat on his car, after his performance around 5pm.

The police are using the opportunity to question Rhymes about the murder of his bodyguard, Israel Ramirez, who was shot dead in February outside a New York warehouse. The rapper has previously refused to cooperate with investigators about the incident.
