Busta 929 defends himself in an official statement shared on Thursday afternoon, as regards the viral video that suggests he took advantage of a teenager.

In the early hours of Thursday, a recorded Instagram Live video surfaced on social media, and the Amapiano star was seen with some girls, including a 14-year-old lady rocking a towel.

South Africans cancelled the DJ, believing he took advantage of her.

However, in the statement shared on Twitter, Busta said himself and his team picked up the talented 14-year-old girl on their way back home after a show.

According to the DJ, the girl was with him, his girlfriend and manager in his home studio recording songs for 2 days.

The girl had shown interest to work with him, and he obliged.

He further revealed that the girl was on a towel because she just had her bath.

However, he apologises for not ensuring that the girls informed their parents about their whereabout before taking them to his house.
