When asked about who reached out to settle their fight BNXN narrated, “I remember just sitting in the plane. My team had booked a flight to London. I was waiting for my flight to take off and someone tapped saying ‘This guy’. I look over my shoulder and I see Ruger. At that moment it was like ‘Is it fight or fight'”.
Ruger backed up BNXN’s story by saying “It’s music that is making all this happen and we are just real people at the end of the day”.
The duo also discussed Afrobeat Big 3 (Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy). Ruger said, “Before Burna Boy started with live performances, most afrobeats artists would just go with the DJ and just perform, Davido is a leader, many people follow his footsteps likewise, Wizkid too is a leader so just choose who you wanna follow”.
