Following the release of BNXN's sophomore EP, "Bad Since 97," the two Afrobeats stars are once again at odds.
The Afrobeats superstar BNXN released his second EP, titled "Bad Since 97," on Thursday, August 25, 2022.
Following its release, BNXN sent a joyful message on Twitter to announce that his album has debuted at the top of Nigeria's Apple Music Album Chart.
The tagline "What if I, What if I, What if I...Cook" that BNXN used in the post is probably a reference to Ruger's popular song "Girlfriend."

The message is a subtle jab at Ruger, with whom he recently engaged in a public argument over their shared position as hitmakers.
Ruger responds: It would seem that the Nigerian Ragga King was not pleased with BNXN's usage of a derivation of Ruger's lyrics.
Get a single hit then talk to me, chubby bum bum, tweeted Ruger in an unexpected response that was clearly directed at BNXN.
Ruger had before asserted that BNXN didn't have a solo hit and that as a result, they weren't on an equal footing.
Get a solo hit then talk to me fatty bum bum

Readers may remember that BNXN and Ruger got into a verbal altercation when Ruger asserted that he was a larger star than BNXN in response to a fan who informed him BNXN was bigger than him.
Ruger responded by insisting that BNXN cannot claim of single hits, in contrast to him.
