    So we went out, went to one lounge and someone disrespected me, i just got angry and was like let’s go home. So i got into my car and everybody was telling me ‘I’m so proud of you’, you just left’. You know where men are, things go happen.

    So I was really upset and Willie was like, ‘I don’t like Papi to feel like this, he na called Buju. So Buju now came to another place where we were, when Buju came I was like ‘ahn ahn’, you know the shock, I was excited, I was a fan, the first he said to me was ‘Papi, I’ve been wanting to work with you, let’s go into the studio,’ that how we got into the studio.

    He also disclosed BNXN’s love for food and which motivates him to work better. Timaya explains how BNXN came up with a verse after eating nourishing “Pepper Soup”,

    “I Didn’t Know Buju Likes Food oooo, I didn’t know he was a foodie like me.”.
