The fast-rising afro-fusion musician made this known on his official Twitter page, where he noted that his new name would be pronounced as ‘Benson’.

According to his announcement video on Thursday night, the name change became necessary after the singer was mistaken for another Jamaican singer known as Buju Banton.

the announcement read “It’s no longer ‘Buju’. Call me ‘Benson’ written as ‘BNXN’,”
