Since then, Busta has been a notable hit at several clubs in the city, namely Monarch and LIV Sandton.

Notably, the rap icon has been seen adding his special vocal effects to Amapiano mixes while the DJ spins the decks.

Entertainment blogger Musa Khawula posted a 98-second clip with the caption:

"Busta Rhymes vibing to Amapiano."

He is seen and heard making shooting sounds and the unholstering and reholstering action.

Busta gets the crowd involved when the DJ mixes the next track, intermittently saying:

"All right, give me the next classic ... put your hands in the air ... pull it up, pull it up. Now, let me say, people, are you ready?"
