Buju New Name: Singer Changes Stage Name To BNXN, Netizens Reacts
Born Daniel Benson and formally known professionally as Buju, Nigerian hit singer has officially switched his professional/stage name to “BNXN” (pronounced simply as Benson) as he completes his journey to self-discovery. This alteration will take effect immediately from the 18th of February 2022.
For the singer, music has always been the medium through which he expresses or discovers himself, and over the last two years, he has impacted the world with his sound as he continued that journey which has now returned him back to the beginning where he meets and transcends into his original self known as “BNXN”.
To also avoid further confusion with the brand essence and trade name in the music space, especially with the legendary Buju Banton, he has chosen to resort to his legal name “Benson“ which as stated earlier will be spelled as “BNXN”.
According to a statement released by its management, it should be appreciated by the general public that Daniel Benson shall now be addressed professionally as “BNXN” concerning all future formal and business correspondence. Other than the formal change of his professional/stage name, all other details, structures, as well as previous or current contracts and other agreements remain intact and unaltered.
Following the announcement, some Nigerians took to social media to share their view on the development, with some appreciating the change of name while others were totally against it.

Damn, Buju ain’t Buju no more? I mean I fuck with the new name though. Cheers to BNXN 🍾🥂

Who ever advised Buju to change his stage name to “BNXN” is not a good adviser.
Many people will find that to pronounce, one thing is sure, people won’t stop calling him “BUJU”.
