Reports surfaced last weekend that rapper Busta Rhymes and 5 ft. 6, Brooklyn boxer Zab Judah got into a scrap at a party in New York during which one of them ended up knocked out.
Some accounts have Bussa Bus the winner; others claim the former IBFF world champ delivered the final blow. Allhiphop.com writer Illseed says he was able to verify that an altercation did take place, citing a detective in Manhattan South as a source.
??€?I heard the party in question Busta was possibly a lil tipsy with two girls when he and Zab got into it,??€? reports Illseed of the two combatants, who have reportedly never gotten along. ??€?I heard Zab rushed him and knocked him clean out with one punch. But, on the flipmode side, I heard that Busta was the one doing the knocking out and Zab was actually arrested.??€?
With the southpaw tipping the scales somewhere between 140 and 150 pounds, Busta has a considerable size dvantage, but according to Illseed, Judah may have been carrying The Great Equalizer.
??€?I can't call it, but I heard Super Judah got caught with a piece on him and may have gun charges pending now,??€? he writes. ??€?At least they were scrappin' it out old school, if they were at all. I ain't saying s**t! Zab is one of my favorite boxers (as I said a few days ago) and Busta got me patiently waiting for his Aftermath debut."
