BNXN tackles Fat Joe over controversial claims about Afrobeats

Nigerian singer Daniel Etiese Benson, popularly known as BNXN, has reacted to the claims made by American rapper Fat Joe over the origin of afrobeats.

The rapper had previously claimed, during a recent podcast episode with Buju Banton, that the afrobeats genre of music originated from Jamaica. He also claimed that he was the reason behind BNXN’s name change, adding that he called him out on TV for impersonating the Jamaican legend, Buju Banton.

BNXN on his X handle responded to the claims, mocking Fat Joe for spreading misinformation about African music. He claimed that rapper’s heart was filled with hate for African artists, stressing the need for him to educate himself.

“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 @fatjoe,” he wrote.
