According to an eyewitness Sean Aird, ''things got heated'' between the two, and ''Busta splashed water on him and the employee threw water back, at which point Busta’s security got between them.''
Arid tells the NY Daily News that ''the employee kept changing his story about the fight to the police,'' before adding that Rhymes ''was provoked — Busta never had any physical contact with him whatsoever.''
Sources told the paper that the 'Gimme Some More' rapper and the worker had issues with one another in the past, and the feud escalated on Tuesday when the worker refused to let Rhymes bring a cameraman inside the facility to film his exercise regimen.
