Afrobeats star BNXN seems to have reached his breaking point with the Lagos dating scene, at least if his latest post on X is anything to go by.
The ‘Outside’ crooner didn’t sugarcoat his feelings when he let out a sharp sigh of frustration online, confessing, “To find love for Eko too hard for me o.”
That single sentence was all it took.
In true Lagos fashion, where the streets move fast and the emotions move faster, BNXN’s comment cracked open a familiar conversation.
His words echoed through timelines like a warning bell, stirring up that shared Lagos struggle everyone knows but rarely says out loud: in this city, your heart works overtime just like your hustle.
“To find love for Eko too hard for me o”

BNXN didn’t bother offering further explanation, and honestly, he didn’t have to. The exhaustion behind the statement did enough storytelling. Lagosians immediately connected with the sentiment, the heartbreak, the confusion, and the unspoken rule that dating in Eko requires the patience of a monk and the resilience of a Marine.
Within minutes, his mentions lit up like the Third Mainland Bridge at rush hour. Fans and residents alike flooded the comments with their theories, jokes, survival tips, and war stories about the unpredictable battlefield known as Lagos matchmaking.
Some blamed “talking stages that last till 2026,” others pointed fingers at ‘fake it till you make it’ relationships, while a few insisted BNXN hadn’t even scratched the surface of the chaos.
Lol 😂 try Borno…
