Following the release of his collaborative album with Ruger, BNXN, formerly known as Buju, achieves yet another significant milestone in his music career.
Hailing from Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria, BNXN began his musical journey in 2021, gaining notable recognition when he was featured on “Mood,” a track from Wizkid’s highly acclaimed album “Made In Lagos.”
This collaboration proved pivotal for BNXN, propelling his career to new heights. Now, he celebrates the attainment of a gold RIAA certification for “Mood.” The certification, announced on the official RIAA site, signifies the sale of over 500,000 units, earning the track its well-deserved gold status.

During an interview on Apple Music Africa Now Radio, BNXN and Ruger discussed their highly anticipated collaborative EP, which they described as embodying the true essence of collaboration.
In the conversation with Nandi Madiba, BNXN emphasized that the ‘RnB‘ EP showcased synergy at its peak, highlighting the seamless blend of their talents and creative energies.
“It shows quality, it shows the real essence of collaboration – how to bounce off each other, how to learn from each other, how to pick this and flow off what this person [did]. It’s like a relay race,” BNXN said on the 7-track project, which serves as a celebration of the truce between both artists after nearly 2 years of rift.
