Canadian rapper bbno$ recently discussed his unexpected decision to step back from the music industry during an episode of the Fear& podcast. His candid revelations shed light on his future aspirations and the reasons prompting his temporary retirement.
Known for his infectious hits like “Edamame”and “Lalala, ”bbno$ has made a significant mark in the music scene while also venturing into the online streaming world. He has collaborated with popular figures such as VTuber IronMouse and has actively participated in events like The Streamer Awards, even providing financial backing.
Despite his upbeat persona and activism, bbno$ has faced criticism on social media, particularly over the past year. Critics have labeled his personality as “cringe, ”leading to a wave of negativity directed at him. Recently, allegations emerged claiming that the artist made racially charged comments toward a former high school classmate, a matter he has not publicly addressed.
On December 8, bbno$ announced his retirement in a tweet that read, “Thank you for the memories.” This statement echoed his awareness of the public’s sentiment, expressing a sense of duty to listen to his audience.“As you guys know, I am for the people, ” he stated.“And the people have asked me to stop making music. Due to the millions of people begging me to stop, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to stop making music for the foreseeable future.”

Online Negativity Influences bbno$’s Career Pause
During his appearance on the Fear& podcast on December 15, bbno$ elaborated on the challenges posed by pervasive online negativity. Speaking to co-hosts Will Neff, AustinShow, Hasan, and QTCinderella, he shared how the pressure from negative comments impacted him and his supporters: “I’ve just been bullied online. I’m obviously a small little pillar of positivity online. I get messages every day from my die-hards like, ‘I can’t keep up with the negativity. I’m trying.’”
He further reflected on his decision, stating, “Why not take a step away? It’s fine. I’ve done what I needed to do in my life. Maybe I come back, maybe I don’t. It was kind of a random feeling where I was like, you know what, I don’t have a normal life. I have free will. I can do whatever I want.”
For those interested in his podcast discussion, the relevant segment begins at 8:00 in the following link:
Looking ahead, bbno$ is uncertain about his immediate plans. However, he expressed a desire to focus on personal well-being, stating, “I’m probably gonna take the majority of next year off and just think about my life. I really wanna buy a house and settle down.”
This announcement follows his recent trend of going viral, particularly after editing streamer Asmongold out of his “Mary Poppins”music video earlier in May, which featured other members of the OTK group.
