BNXN has reacted strongly to American rapper Fat Joe following comments made about his former stage name “Buju” during a discussion involving reggae legend Buju Banton.
Fat Joe had suggested that he played a role in influencing the Nigerian singer to drop the name “Buju,” citing confusion and concerns around its similarity to Buju Banton.
Responding on X (formerly Twitter), BNXN pushed back hard, accusing the rapper of spreading misinformation about African music and its artists.
He wrote:
“The hate in the your heart and your misinformation about African music and its artists is why your chromosomes are all fucked up. Educate yourself bozo. @fatjoe”
BNXN, formerly known as Buju before rebranding to BNXN (pronounced Benson), has previously explained that the name change was part of his effort to build a distinct identity as his international profile grew.
The exchange has since sparked reactions online, with fans debating both his response and the controversy surrounding his stage name change.
