Nigerian artist BNXN has addressed the recent comparisons made online by influencers, urging fans to refrain from pitting him against his friends, particularly Ayra Starr.
In a tweet from his official X account on May 13, 2024, BNXN emphasized the need to stop the practice of comparing artists for entertainment.

As one of the most recognizable voices in Nigerian mainstream pop music, BNXN has consistently impressed since entering the spotlight.
His decision to speak out against comparisons with Ayra Starr, particularly regarding vocal prowess, indicates his desire to avoid a situation similar to the one he experienced with Ruger.
After being unfairly pitted against each other by fans on social media, BNXN and Ruger engaged in a public feud. However, they later reconciled and even released a joint EP titled ‘RnB,’ featuring popular tracks like ‘Romeo Must Die’ and ‘Ilashe.’
While Ayra Starr remains unaffected by the online comparisons, focusing instead on the imminent release of her sophomore album, expected in May 2024, she continues to make strides in her career.
Her recent release, ‘No Bad Vibe,’ featuring Seyi Vibez, serves as the lead single to her upcoming album, ‘The Year I Turned 21.‘ The album boasts guest appearances from Asake, Giveon, Coco Jones, Aniita, and her brother Milar, further solidifying her position in the music industry.
