The run-in went down at a private Uno game curated by Questlove in New York City on Tuesday (July 11). The event included cannabis-infused food and clearly an elite invite list that had even an OG fanning out.
Taking to Instagram the next day, the UGK rapper shared details of meeting the superstar singer and compared her aura to that of Barack Obama and Bun’s fellow Houston native Beyoncé.
“About last night..got a call in the middle of dinner to meet Matt from @astorclubnyc at an Uno game,” Bun captioned a photo of himself and Swift. “Random. Turns out it’s @questlove party with food from cannabis chef/educator @thechefnikki which was amazing.
“Quest calls @jazzbeezy who I hadn’t sent in years. On my way out he says ‘I have to have a picture with you and Taylor.’ Who turns out to be THE Taylor. As in @taylorswift who couldn’t have been more kind and personable. I’ve only ever met 2 other people who make you feel this seen and heard in an interaction before and that’s @barackobama and @beyonce.”
Bun concluded his story with one important question: “My question is does this make me a Swiftie?”
Bun B isn’t the only Swiftie in the Hip Hop community, though. Flavor Flav is unabashed in his love for the “Karma” singer as well – and even wore a shirt with her lyrics to the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this year.
Upon showing it off during an interview with iHeart, Flav proudly copped to being a Swiftie “Always love Taylor Swift’s music, you know what I’m saying,” he told the host. “[I’m a Swiftie] as you can tell! I’m here to support her! I’m here to support my girl.”
