News: Bunji vs Benjai

When upcoming soca artiste Benjai left top Soca band Asylum, people wondered whether he would be able to survive. However, they had little time to wonder as he quickly aligned himself for Machel and Xtatik, while as a solo artiste he quickly released a number of hits including Amnesty featuring Machel.

Despite Benjai’s indication in the local press that there were no hard feelings when he left the band, Bunji soon released Best Friend, which many believe was about Benjai. This weekend the lyrical battle took another turn. While on stage performing at the Base Nightclub in New York over the weekend, Benjai added ‘his two cents’.

Benjai sang about Bunji always singing about being in the ghetto but he is never seen there. He also went on to sing Bunji’s song on the Immediate riddim - Right Now, saying that even though they warring he would still sing Bunji’s song. This received a very favourable response from the small crowd in attendance.
