Singer Daniel Benson, also known as BNXN, recently found himself in hot water after throwing shade at fellow artist Davido. In a heated exchange with a fan on social media, BNXN, formerly known as Buju, didn’t hold back in expressing his disdain for Davido’s music.
The altercation began when a netizen, with the handle @lifeofolaa, commented that BNXN was “mid” in response to a post about the singer. This seemingly innocent remark set off a chain reaction, with BNXN firing back at the netizen, calling them a “retard” and questioning their right to speak on music matters as a fan of Davido.
Despite deleting the tweet, the damage was already done, and netizens were quick to condemn BNXN for his disrespectful behavior towards Davido. One user, @heiskaptain, expressed disbelief at BNXN’s audacity to throw shade at a music heavyweight like Davido. Another user, Big Ayo, criticized BNXN for his actions, stating that openly disrespecting Davido was uncalled for.
As the backlash continued to grow, @thatdammygirlie called for BNXN to publicly apologize to Davido and his fanbase, warning that failure to do so could result in being canceled by fans. The incident serves as a reminder of the power of social media and the importance of maintaining respect within the music industry.
In the world of music, where egos and reputations are constantly on the line, it’s crucial for artists to tread carefully when engaging with fans and fellow musicians. BNXN’s misstep serves as a cautionary tale for all artists, highlighting the need for professionalism and respect in all interactions, both online and offline.
