BNXN sprays dollars on fans at Trace show

BNXN turned a simple sing-along into a money rain moment at Trace Live, and the crowd could not get enough.

In the middle of his set at Terra Kulture Arena in Victoria Island, Lagos, the singer paused, called two fans to the stage, and sprayed them with dollar bills while they sang Asake's verse word-for-word. The clip from the night blew up online within hours.

What happened at the Trace Live show

BNXN headlined Trace Live on October 30 at Terra Kulture Arena, Victoria Island, Lagos. The event was billed as an intimate live experience and it delivered.

Dressed in a black two-piece outfit with gold embellishments on the top, he opened with his 2023 hit ‘Pidgin & English’. For almost two hours, he performed fan favorites like ‘Yes Sir’, ‘Rum & Soda’, ‘Already’, and songs from his newly released EP ‘Still In Charge’. The room sang along to every track.

The show ended with ‘Captain’ as his closing song, but the most talked-about part came just before that.

The song performance that got the reward

BNXN said there was only one song left on the project he had not performed — ‘Eja Meja’, the last track on ‘Still In Charge’ featuring Asake.

He asked for volunteers, but with conditions. He said, “On this project, there is only one song left that I haven’t sung, so I’m looking for my Asake. There are two rules to ensure it doesn’t get rowdy. It has to be you and someone you trust, and you must know Asake’s lyrics from beginning to end. Let’s make it a boy and a girl for equality.”

Two fans were eventually selected — a male and a female. As they performed Asake’s part from beginning to end, BNXN sprayed them with dollar bills. The crowd cheered loudly, phones up, recording the moment.

Why the clip spread online

• It was visual and interactive — a real-time test of who knew Asake’s lyrics, with an instant reward
• It showed artist-fan connection — BNXN bringing regular fans on stage at Trace Live, not just dancers or celebrities
• It tied into two big names — BNXN and Asake have a strong collaboration history and ‘Eja Meja’ is currently trending from the new EP
• The dollar spray made it highly shareable on X, Instagram and TikTok, where fans reposted the moment

The moment was first highlighted by TheCable Lifestyle and the official Trace Live performance is also up on YouTube.
