Afrobeats sensation BNXN, previously known as Buju, has sent fans into a frenzy after dropping a cryptic clue that strongly hints at a deluxe edition of his acclaimed sophomore album, CAPTAIN.
On the evening of Tuesday, December 9, 2025, the singer quietly posted a short studio clip on his Instagram Story.
The video itself was simple BNXN sitting in a dimly lit room, while a soulful, gospel-tinged melody floated in the background—but it was the caption that ignited instant speculation across the internet:
“See you on Friday — CAPTAIN.”
With just five words, the rumour mill went into overdrive.

Released in July, CAPTAIN has been both a critical favourite and a commercial triumph, further solidifying BNXN’s place among Afrobeats’ most compelling voices.
For months, fans have been begging for more bonus tracks, unreleased sessions, anything to extend the album’s world. So the timing of this mysterious tease couldn’t be more perfect.
Though BNXN hasn’t officially confirmed anything, the direct mention of the album title paired with a specific day has fans convinced that the deluxe edition is locked and loaded. Whispers within the industry have long suggested that an expanded version was in motion, possibly packed with fresh songs and star-studded features. Unverified chatter has even floated the possibility of a Burna Boy collaboration.
For now, BNXN is keeping his cards close to his chest. But with Friday fast approaching, anticipation is already boiling as listeners wait for the reveal of the tracklist, features, surprises, and all.
If the predictions are right, the CAPTAIN deluxe might just be one of the final big Afrobeats moments of the year.
