Busta Rhymes got quite the unexpected shout out from Ukraine when the official Twitter page of the country’s Ministry of Defense used his lyrics to taunt Russia.
On Tuesday (May 16), the Ukraine Ministry of Defense shared a graphic showing the current stats of the (many) losses Russia took in the war that has been ongoing since February 2022. And whoever runs their social media account felt Busta’s 1996 hit “Woo-Hah!!” made the perfect caption.
“‘Woo-hah, got you all in check!’ -Busta Rhymes,” they tweeted. “Total combat losses of the enemy from February 24, 2022 to May 16, 2023.”
The stats included nearly 200,000 Russian casualties as well as the loss of thousands of tanks, armored personnel vehicles, drones and more.
This isn’t the first time the Ukraine Ministry of Defense used an American rapper’s lyric to make a point. In September, Ukraine called upon the coke-infused lyrics of Pusha T to show the public just how high the death toll has been for the opposition.
