Busta Rhymes is mad.
So mad, in fact, that he's decided to cancel two upcoming English shows.
Why? Well, you can chalk it up to "false advertisment."
As far as fans were concerned, Busta was supposed to play a show at The Forum in London next Tuesday, Sept. 9.
But Mr. Rhymes was apparently not aware of this. On Wednesday, he called out Andy Robbins of Metropolis Music for scheduling and promoting the show without permission.
ANDY ROBBINS AND METROPOLIS MUSIC R LIARS AND WERE NEVER AUTHORIZED BY ME OR MY REPS TO PROMOTE ANY SHOW TO HAPPEN AT THE FORUM IN LONDON!!

Then, two days later, Busta was still trying to get the message across:
AGAIN I will NOT be performing @ the Forum in London on 9/6/14. Metropolis Music & Andy Robbins falsely advertised a show w/o my permission. — Busta Rhymes (@BustaRhymes) September 6, 2014
NO SHOW AT THE FORUM IN LONDON ON SEPT. 6TH DUE 2 FALSE ADVERTISEMENT BY METROPLIS MUSIC AND ANDY ROBBINS!!! GET YOUR MONEY BACK NOW!!! — Busta Rhymes (@BustaRhymes) September 6, 2014
But then things got a little more interesting as Busta used the cancelled Forum gig as his reason for backing out of Bestival at the Isle of Wight:
BECAUSE OF THE COMPLICATIONS WITH THE FORUM SHOW @BESTIVAL HAS BEEN CANCELED ASWELL BUT WE R ALREADY WORKING 2 MAKE @BESTIVAL 2015 HAPPEN!!

If you're wondering how that makes sense, we are, too. You can always just put this on repeat until the situations sorts itself out (thanks to NME for the find).
