Previously sworn enemies, Ruger and BNXN, have come together to collaborate on a hit track – Romeo must die.
With its video only just uploaded to YouTube 10 days ago on the 29th February, it has attracted an incredible 3.3 million views.
What is the song “Romeo Must Die” about?
The song is about enemies, enjoyment and money. The boys are singing about people talking bad about them, gossiping about how they sing their own praises. They come back asking why should they not blow their own horn, they have so much money from their music every day is a holiday with girls on their left and right side.
Ruger and BNXN had a heated
Back in 2022, Micheal ‘Ruger’ Adebayo traded words on social media with Daniel ‘BNXN fka Buju’ Benson over who was the better singer, and it was believe they became enemies. The song is a reflection of their fight.
The song is written in English, Nigeria’s Pidgin English, Yoruba and Igbo language. Listen to the song on YouTube here.
