Daniel Benson, better known by his stage name Buju BNXN, a well-known singer of Afrobeats, has accused his coworker Asake and others of allegedly stealing his slang, “Otilo.”
Buju BNXN says that other musicians started using the slang, even though they don’t understand it, after he reportedly started it in 2021.
The “Finesse” singer also said that he and his bandmates started saying “Ezz Going” before other musicians did.
BNXN said that people had always asked what the slang meant before they started using it.
The current music rave, Asake, is one artist who is known for using Otilo while speaking and singing.
BNXN penned:
They first don’t get it, then they copy it.
Last year, when my friends and I were saying, “EZZ GOING,” we were all like, “??Everyone is now chanting “EZZ GOING” or “OTILO’ now, mo ti TRABOSKIIII!!”
However, a fan rebutted him by stating:
Buju responded, “That Mushin slang since 2018”:
The Mushin niggas and you are lying.Dummy, nothing is being said about waving.’
