Popular Afrobeats singer, Daniel Benson aka Buju BNXN has fired shots at his colleague Asake and others for allegedly stealing his slang, ‘Otilo’.
According to Buju BNXN, other musicians began using the slang after he reportedly founded it in 2021, even though they do not understand it.
The “Finesse” crooner also revealed that he and his team had began saying ‘Ezz Going’ before other artistes jumped on it.
BNXN noted that people had always inquired the meaning of the slang only for them to begin saying it.
One particular artist known for using Otilo while speaking and singing is the current music rave, Asake.
BNXN wrote:
“First they don’t understand it, then they copy it.
When me and my people were saying “EZZ GOING” last year N as were like ?? now everybody saying EZZ GOING” / “OTILO’ now , mo ti TRABOSKIIII!! ”
A fan, however, countered him, saying:
”That Mushin slang since 2018”
Buju retorted:
‘You and your Mushin niggas are lying. And nobody is talking about waving, dummy.’
