Prolific and talented Nigerian singer, Daniel Benson, known professionally as BNXN and formerly known as Buju has stirred reactions with announcement on social media that he needs renowned gospel singer, Tope Alabi on his album.
BNXN’s post was perceived by many as a subtle mockery as it came after Tope Alabi was slammed online a few days ago over her tribute song to the late England’s monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
Alabi who tried to join other celebrities in mourning the late queen shared a video on her Instagram page with a song that claimed the old monarch died too soon.
“When I heard the news I was shocked and sad, though it’s better on the other side, I know it is peaceful on the other side, but we are pained you had to leave us this soon. We don’t want you to leave, we didn’t plan to pay tributes to pay this soon, you love everyone and you are so kind” the lyrics of the tribute song reads in part.
Following this update, Buju took to his official Twitter page to make his thoughts public on Tope Alabi’s recent display on social media.
He tweeted: “I need Tope Alabi on my album.”
The singer on the 5th of September, 2022, emerged as the winner of the Headies’ Next Rated Award in 2022 that came with a Bentley Bentayga car gift.
