The artist, formerly known as Buju, shared the opinion while reflecting on his experience since arriving in the United States, drawing comparisons between everyday life in both locations.

According to BNXN, one of the most noticeable differences has been the absence of the informal financial obligations and requests that many successful individuals often encounter back home.

Sharing his thoughts, he said:

“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money.”

The singer went on to argue that the overall financial pressure associated with living in Lagos outweighs what he has personally experienced in Los Angeles.

He added:

“Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles).”

Explaining his position further, BNXN noted that accommodation appears to be the most significant expense in Los Angeles, while other day-to-day costs have not felt as demanding as those he associates with life in Lagos.

In his words:

“The only thing expensive in LA is housing. Here you just pay your rent and you’re good.”

The comments quickly generated mixed reactions online, with some social media users agreeing that the hidden costs of living in Lagos, including transportation, utilities, and social expectations, can make life surprisingly expensive.

Others, however, questioned the comparison, pointing to Los Angeles’ reputation as one of the most costly cities in the United States.

BNXN’s remarks add to the ongoing conversation about the rising cost of living in major African cities and the financial realities faced by both residents and public figures. While opinions remain divided, his comments have once again placed the spotlight on the economic pressures associated with living in Nigeria’s commercial capital.

Dropped on May 29, 2026, the project arrives as a bold statement of intent, showcasing an artist steadily stepping into her full creative identity.

Known for her soulful blend of Afrobeat, R&B, and global influences, Qing Madi continues to carve out a unique lane in the Nigerian music landscape. Her sound is often defined by emotional depth, smooth vocal delivery, and a natural ability to connect with both local and international audiences.

On “Barely Legal,” she expands that identity even further, pulling together an impressive lineup of heavyweight collaborators that spans multiple generations of Nigerian music. The EP features appearances from Tiwa Savage, BNXN, Victony, Zinoleesky, Zlatan, Flavour, Wande Coal, Rotimi, and Eemoh, creating a rich blend of styles and influences.

Sonically, the project moves fluidly across Afrobeats, soulful melodies, and contemporary African rhythms. Tracks like “Come Slide” highlight her ability to float effortlessly over modern production while maintaining her signature softness and emotional clarity.

Beyond its sound, “Barely Legal” carries a deeper narrative of growth, confidence, love, and youthful expression. It captures a transitional phase in both life and artistry, where curiosity meets ambition and experimentation meets direction.

What makes the EP particularly notable is how it bridges generations. With veterans like Tiwa Savage, Flavour, and Wande Coal appearing alongside newer voices such as Victony and Zinoleesky, the project becomes a meeting point between legacy and the future of Afrobeats.

Critics and listeners alike are already pointing to the EP as a pivotal moment in Qing Madi’s rise, one that could position her for even broader international recognition in the near future.

Ultimately, “Barely Legal” is more than just a sophomore project. It is a declaration that Qing Madi is not only growing but also intentionally shaping her space within the global music conversation through bold collaborations and an unmistakable Afro-fusion identity.

The Afrobeats star made his feelings known in a recent post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he criticised what he described as low-quality AI artwork being used for music releases and promotions.

“I can’t stand behind an A.I cover. Especially if it’s terrible work.”

The comment quickly sparked debate online, with fans, designers, and music lovers sharing mixed reactions about the increasing role of AI in creative spaces.

While some users defended the use of artificial intelligence as a tool for experimentation and innovation, many others agreed with BNXN, arguing that several AI-generated designs often lack originality, emotional depth, and the human creativity that traditional artwork brings.

In recent months, AI-created visuals have become more common across album covers, promotional campaigns, lyric videos, and digital branding within the entertainment industry. The trend has also raised wider concerns among creatives who fear that artificial intelligence could reduce opportunities for graphic designers, illustrators, and digital artists.

BNXN’s remarks now add to the ongoing global conversation about how AI should be integrated into art and entertainment, especially in industries where authenticity and personal expression remain highly valued.

The singer’s reaction also reflects a growing sentiment among many artists who believe technology can be useful but should not replace genuine creativity or thoughtful artistic direction.

Released on May 11, 2026, the project wasted no time climbing the charts, landing at number two on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Albums chart on its release day  an early sign of the anticipation that had been building around the partnership.

That momentum had already started weeks earlier with the release of the lead single “Back Outside,” which gave listeners their first glimpse into the chemistry between both artists.

The song quickly caught attention, eventually debuting at number one on Apple Music Nigeria and reportedly generating more than 22 million streams alongside over two million video views within its first few weeks.

For fans familiar with their history, the EP feels less like a surprise collaboration and more like a natural progression. BNXN and Sarz had previously connected successfully on songs like “Gwagwalada” and “Pidgin & English,” records that helped establish the creative chemistry now fully explored on The Game Needs Us.

Entirely produced by Sarz, the project blends Afrofusion, Afrobeats, and contemporary pop influences while still leaving room for experimentation. Across tracks like “Rum & Soda,” “Emotional High,” and “Frank Sinatra,” the duo leans into themes of love, emotional distance, vulnerability, and nightlife culture.

Speaking about the project, BNXN explained that the EP was intended to reflect both the current state and future direction of African music.

“The Game Needs Us, just as the name implies,” he said. “This project brings together two of Nigeria’s greatest forces to deliver a refreshing yet reflective experience. To show the dynamics in the African sound and to give a feel of where the future of the sound is headed.”

Sarz also described the collaboration as an opportunity to stretch his sound creatively.

“After ‘Gwagwalada’ and ‘Pidgin & English,’ it’s only right we continue that chemistry. Working on this record with him helped me explore some African and South American sonic themes,” he said.

The EP marks BNXN’s first major release in nearly ten months following his album CAPTAIN, while also serving as Sarz’s first major project since Protect Sarz At All Costs.

Over the years, both artists have become important figures in Afrobeats’ global expansion. BNXN, formerly known as Buju, rose to prominence after a viral freestyle caught the attention of Zlatan Ibile, eventually building a career that includes UK chart success, a Headies Next Rated win, and multiple acclaimed projects.

Sarz, on the other hand, remains one of the most respected producers in the genre, with credits spanning major records from artists like Wizkid, Lojay, Burna Boy, and Wande Coal.

Running just over fifteen minutes, The Game Needs Us keeps things concise and cohesive, favouring quality and replay value over unnecessary length — a format that increasingly defines successful collaborative EPs in today’s streaming era.

The forthcoming EP is expected to house five tracks and comes right on the momentum of their already buzzing lead single, Back Outside, which dropped in April and quickly caught the attention of fans.

With Sarz’s polished, forward-thinking production and BNXN’s smooth, emotionally rich vocals, there’s a growing sense that this project could land as a strong statement moment for both acts.

For Sarz, this isn’t unfamiliar territory. Over the years, he has built a reputation for crafting intentional joint projects that stretch sound and creativity.

From I Love Girls With Trobul with Wurld to LV N ATTN alongside Lojay and Sweetness with Obongjayar, his collaborative runs have consistently delivered fresh perspectives within the Afrobeats space.

On the other side, BNXN continues to show a knack for reinvention and strategic partnerships. His catalogue reflects a willingness to explore different sounds and formats, including his 2024 joint effort with Ruger, which produced fan favourites like Bae Bae, Ilashe, POE, and Romeo Must Die (RMD).

With The Game Needs Us, both artists appear to be aligning their strengths at just the right moment. The early signs point to a concise but impactful body of work—one that could easily extend their streak of standout collaborations while reinforcing their place in shaping the current soundscape.

The single, released through EMPIRE, arrives as BNXN’s first official outing in months since his well-received Captain album.

It feels like a smooth reintroduction; his signature laid-back melodies glide effortlessly over Sarz’s refined, rhythm-driven production, echoing the mood of stepping back into the spotlight after time spent sharpening his craft.

The timing is also interesting, coming shortly after remarks from Fat Joe, which the record subtly answers. Here, BNXN further proves why Fat Joe’s statement holds no water, as he shows the world why he’s one of the most talented artists in Africa.

Sonically, Back Outside leans into an eclectic mix. Sarz paints with a blend of African and South American influences, layering crisp percussion over smooth, flowing synths.

BNXN matches that energy with sharp, reflective lyricism—touching on his deliberate time away and hinting at a more active run ahead. Their synergy, already familiar from records like Gwagwalada, shows up again in full force, making this one feel right at home whether you’re in the gym or cruising through the night.

Beyond just a single track, the track sets the tone for something bigger. It serves as an early glimpse into their upcoming joint album, expected later in 2026. BNXN has described the project as a breath of fresh air, reflecting his current state of mind and a renewed commitment to his craft. With its easy replay value and confident energy, Back Outside makes one thing clear—the flexing has officially resumed.

The controversy began after a recent episode of the Joe and Jada Podcast, where Jamaican icon Buju Banton appeared as a guest. During the conversation, Fat Joe claimed he had once publicly criticised BNXN and “forced” him to drop the name Buju—suggesting he stepped in to protect Buju Banton’s identity.

The clip quickly made the rounds on social media, drawing backlash from many Nigerian fans who felt the remarks came off dismissive and disrespectful toward African artists.

Reacting via his X (formerly Twitter) page, BNXN didn’t mince words as he called out the American rapper over what he described as ignorance and misplaced hostility.

“The hate in your heart and your misinformation about African music and its artists is why your chromosomes are all f**ked up. Educate yourself, bozo,” BNXN posted.

All my genuine love and respect to everyone who gave a voice or a reaction in support. I love and appreciate each and everyone of you.

— Benson (@BNXN) April 23, 2026

The response added fuel to an already heated conversation, with fans weighing in on both sides of the debate.

Fellow Nigerian artist Joeboy also joined the discussion, dismissing Fat Joe’s remarks as “dirty yarns” while mocking what many saw as an attempt to undermine African talent.

The exchange has since reignited conversations around global recognition, respect, and the evolving influence of African music on the world stage.

Still tryna talk down on African acts in 2026.

According to data from Nigeria’s leading music chart publication, TurnTable Charts, the singer’s debut and sophomore albums have emerged as the most-streamed records since digital music consumption skyrocketed.

At the very top sits Asake’s 2023 sophomore album ‘Work of Art,’ which has racked up a staggering 661.2M streams. Lauded by both fans and critics, the album continues to appear on the upper echelons of streaming charts, proving its enduring appeal. His debut, ‘Mr Money With The Vibe,‘ isn’t far behind, claiming the second spot with 634M streams, while his third album, ‘Lungu Boy‘, secures the sixth position with 387M streams.

This remarkable dominance underscores Asake’s emergence as an era-defining star, one whose music has reshaped Afrobeats’ soundscape while tipping the industry’s commercial balance in his favor. Spotify Nigeria’s recent data further validates this, naming him the most-streamed artist of all time on the platform since its Nigerian launch in 2021.

Asake first broke into the mainstream with his hit EP ‘Ololade Asake‘ in January 2022. With a vibrant blend of energetic rap flows and smooth Fuji-inflected melodies, alongside producer Magicsticks’ masterful use of log drums, he delivered hit singles that propelled him to superstar status.

With three albums in the top 10, Asake is clearly the king of Nigeria’s streaming era and one of the most defining figures in contemporary Nigerian pop music.

While Asake dominates with three entries in the top six, other Nigerian stars also make their mark. Burna Boy logs three albums, with two landing in the top 10: his 2022 hit-filled album ‘Love, Damini‘ at No. 4 (436.8M streams) and 2023’s ‘I Told Them’ at No. 9 (308M streams). His 2020 Grammy-winning album ‘Twice As Tall‘ rounds out his entries at No. 19 (235.3M streams).

Other multiple-entry artists include Davido, whose fourth album ‘Timeless‘ ranks fifth (428M streams), while his fifth album ‘5IVE‘ appears at No. 15 despite being released in 2025. Wizkid claims two spots with his sixth album ‘Morayo‘ at No. 10 (301.4M streams) and ‘Made In Lagos‘ at No. 13 (264.1M streams). Seyi Vibez also features twice: ‘Billion Dollar Baby‘ at No. 8 (331.1M streams) and ‘Thy Kingdom Come‘ at No. 17 (245M streams).

Here’s the full rundown of the Top 20 Most Streamed Albums in Nigeria Since 2020:

In other news, BNXN dropped a cryptic clue that strongly hints at a deluxe edition of his acclaimed sophomore album, CAPTAIN.

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.

The concert, held on Friday, December 19, 2025, drew a massive turnout, but excitement quickly turned to frustration as overcrowding at the venue left many ticket holders stranded outside. Videos and eyewitness accounts from the scene showed large crowds gathered at the entrance, with access restricted due to capacity concerns.

Reacting to the situation, BNXN issued a heartfelt apology to affected fans, distancing himself from the organisers’ handling of the event and condemning what he described as a profit-driven approach that compromised safety.

“The show organisers prioritised profit over the safety of the fans and it should never have been so,” the singer said. “I am so sorry to everyone who had valid entry and still couldn’t make it into the show.”

The artist made it clear that the incident goes against his personal values and the bond he shares with his supporters. According to him, putting fans in harm’s way is something he would never knowingly allow.

“I’d never want to put anyone that loves me or my music in that kind of reckless position, and I sincerely apologise,” he added.

The show organizers prioritized profit over the safety of the fans and it should never have been so.
I am so sorry to everyone who had valid entry and still couldn’t make it into the show . I’d never want to put anyone that loves me or my music in that kind of reckless position…

— Benson (@BNXN) December 20, 2025

BNXN also blamed the chaos on ticket overselling, calling out what he described as unnecessary greed on the part of event organisers.

He stressed that once tickets sell out, sales should be shut down immediately to avoid dangerous overcrowding.

“If tickets are sold out, close the purchase link,” he said. “It could all be so simple, but for that extra… that ‘just a little more’… that greed… super unfair.”

Following the incident, many fans and industry observers have called for tighter regulation of live music events, improved crowd management, and clearer accountability within Nigeria’s rapidly expanding concert scene.

If tickets are sold out , close the purchase link.

It could all be so simple but for that extra… that “just a little more”… that greed …

Super unfair.

— Benson (@BNXN) December 20, 2025

As Lagos continues to host large-scale shows, especially during the busy end-of-year season, the incident has once again highlighted the urgent need for better planning, stricter safety standards, and a fan-first approach to live entertainment.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on BNXN Apologises as Fans With Valid Tickets Are Locked Out of Lagos Concert.

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”

— Benson (@BNXN) December 9, 2025

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.
