Busta Rhymes does not like having his personal space invaded.
In a video posted on social media on Tuesday, the "I Know What You Want" rapper, 50, was seen angrily throwing a drink on a woman in public after she reached over and touched his butt.
After the incident went viral on social media, the woman, named Nikita Mathis, released a statement to The Shade Room and said she was wrong for touching him.
"I didn't mean to touch his behind honestly I was just happy to meet him and wanted a pic, [I've] been a long-time fan. I admit I shouldn't have touch him at all but he's BUSTA. I felt like I could possibly get a pic," she told the outlet.

Earlier this month, Busta Rhymes (born Trevor Smith) performed at the 65th annual Grammy Awards alongside hip-hop icons like Lil Wayne, LL Cool J, Missy Elliott and so much more. During the performance, he took the stage to recite his impressive verse in Chris Brown's 2011 single, "Look at Me Now."
"This 50-year anniversary is a testament to how divine the culture is," he told PEOPLE on the red carpet at the award show.
After the award show, he shared a series of photos from the eventful night with stars like Dwayne Johnson, Adele, Lil Uzi Vert.
In November, he released his latest EP titled The Fuse Is Lit, which he initially postponed in support of Migos rapper Takeoff's funeral.
