Nigerian singer Buju BNXN recently took a jab at fellow artist Mayorkun, calling him arrogant and proud, during a heated exchange with a fan on X.
The fan had praised Mayorkun for his past achievements, specifically his ability to sell out shows. Buju, however, was quick to dismiss these accolades as relics of the past, sparking a flurry of reactions online.
Singer Daniel Benson, known as Buju BNXN, didn't hold back when comparing himself to Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun. The controversy began when a fan, Dotman, claimed that Mayorkun had singlehandedly sold out more shows than Buju ever had in his entire career.
Unimpressed by this comparison, Buju retorted that Mayorkun's accomplishments were outdated. "We're in 2024," Buju pointed out, insisting that current achievements should be the benchmark for any comparison. He also insulted the fan, using a derogatory Yoruba term to express his frustration.
The exchange has ignited mixed reactions across social media, with fans taking sides in the debate. Some supported Buju's stance, while others defended Mayorkun's legacy.
This public spat highlights the competitive nature of the music industry and the pressure artists face to stay relevant. As both artists continue to make waves in their careers, fans eagerly await their next moves.
