Earlier this week, Benny The Butcher engaged in a debate with a fan who told the Buffalo rapper that the quality of his music wasn't hitting like his earlier work.
The back-and-forth took place after Benny wrote, "I’m on a 7 year run. Only 3 years away from the 10 year run I promised y’all on 1 way flight."
This led to a fan responding to Benny, telling him, "But the last 4 years been late career Vince Carter big dog." Benny then replied, "This wat I mean bout y’all lil opinions Numbers never went down champ…only UP…however u feel personally is not the reality of the situation. God bless u."
The fan remained respectful, telling Benny, "C’mon fam. I been rocking w you since [his 2016 album] My First Brick & [2017 mixtape] Butcher on [Ste]Roids & got a frame of your album in my crib. No one rocks w you more than me, but I gotta keep it a stack, you not hitting beats the same way you used to. Go listen to Butcher on Roids. Always rooting for you."
Benny then stated, "Thts an OPINION …u most likely a boom bap guy…it’s a FACT numbers go up every time…opinions > facts." He added, "So we got to the bottom of it. 1 of my beloved [boom] bap day 1’s havin trouble adjusting to the growth of Benny The Butcher…I love u guys but numbers still goin up cuz we’re known outside those circles now champ…don’t be mad , Celebrate us."
