@@Leo-tu8gh gosh relax would'ya😂😂 how people relate to music and basically everything is different... you may not relate to it that way but she might, aiit? And besides... YES she can think they are similar because they ARE both AFRICAN. :-)
I love how Bebe stays so true to her African roots. THIS is the representation that African/BLACK queens and lgbt youth need! You don’t see this often! GO OFF BEBE!
Chris Luna black skin and all other hues exist because Africa exists. What is your point exactly? Bebe is indeed one of the many representations of Africa’s diversity.

"Now back up give me 15ft" Bebe saw the future and knew about social distancing. The blue blazer look was lit and her dancers are so good. She knows she's working it in this video.
Linda, I don't know English, forgive my poor translation from Portuguese to English! I just can't stop listening to this song, I'm your fan, just wonderful! a big kiss from a fan from Brazil.
I think the reason the boys ignore her in this video is because they fail to see her real worth. Like the chorus states, they want to ‘play Bebe like a banjo and pull her strings’ (control her, use her for her body), but in the verses you hear Bebe talk about her strengths, aspirations, and the lessons she’s learned from past relationships. They can’t control her because she dances to the beat of her own drum.
THIS is why she’s the OG queen! We need Bebe Zahara Benet! She’s proud of her heritage and her drag is very much inspired by her African roots. It’s beautiful and so gracious!
OMG! I'm living fof this! Thank you, Bebe, for giving RPDR fans some Afrobeat! I hope this makes them to listen to more Afrobeat tunes. Africa has so many fierce talented divas the world needs to appreciate more!
YESSSSSSS....Love everything about this song...Lyrics and the African vibe is absolutely beautiful....AFRICA please come and take me home.......Ms.Benet you are a Queen....
The sound the vibe and the feeling I get from 2:34 onwards cannot be matched. I haven’t been able to turn this song off for two days now hahahaha x makes me so happy Edit: haven’t been able to turn this song off for 7 months hahahaha
![Aja - Brujería (feat. Mitch Ferrino) [Official]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/T9m_Ffxxxlc/mqdefault.jpg)
There is a reason she is THE FIRST!!!!!
Seems like the first queen to make a banger track too
100%%%%%
You're right !
Saul Pineda and that’s that on that
Nina Flowers was washing her hair.
Yes to the gwara gwara dancing
Yes to the pidgin english
Yes to the afrobeats style
yaaaassss reminds me of Gigi (Ethiopean singer)

Her padding makes her look like a truly african woman
Facts
Chris Luna ewww delete this
Chris Luna black in all forms is beautiful no matter how our TRAUMA of constantly being oppressed manifests ... begone with your racist self-hate
this song has aged like wine, this is absolutely the best song released by a drag race alumni
There is something so peaceful about this
Bebe's power
orbital151 it’s her voice. It’s soothing
yeah, it's soothing my WFH stress right now
its my favourite cuarantine song next to Blinding lights feat. Chromatics by the Weekend. Bebe is lit here.
Absolutely!
She’s the Original Crown Queen and still the best musician out of RPDR alumna 👩🎓 👸🏻
Tea
Bebe is the definition of Africa
I'm proud to be African
Manel Mica yasss Liberia 🇱🇷 in the place! Mama Africa showing out!

3 years later & we still gagging. Real African Woman. ❤
This is so unique and catchy! Serving the beats of Africa.
I was going to say exactly the same thing. If Bebe made another song like this, it would be awesome.
@@DivaDiamondDavenportMahogany I honestly think this is one of the very best songs from a RPDR girl.
@@Dalsemien Yessss, i hated it at first, and now i cant get it out of my head :kshdlsbdd
Love love Afro Soca beats!!
@@Dalsemien i agree, this is such a cultural class also.
Can this become a worldwide hit already please?
Maiken Nielsen I saw it on bebe’s insta and kept thinking I would check it out but haven’t till now cause something came up and I forgot
I’d be happy to let Cameroon enter Eurovision just for this to win 🤩
not this year hunny👀
Well, it was cancelled this year 😭😭😭
@@doielovie4011 Too soonXD
Not this year hennnnyyyy
0 1q@@doielovie4011 2
I cannot get this song out of my head, and I can't stop playing it. So unique and different from any other song to come from a Drag Race queen.
birdeeable thought I was the only one I was at work earlier talking bout “ Banjo Banjo” lol
I love this and the African percussions, sounds, colors.
This song is tremendously underrated.
I need a French track with Bebe and Nicky. If Bebe is on it- then it is an instant bop.
Nyxie of Neurotic House yessssss
Oooooooooooooo🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
what about kiara aswell? sounds like a cool idea to bring different versions of french together
I’ve had a respect for Bebe since the first drag race, just the sense of regality, I’m just happy to see how far she went.
The OG queen is killing it mother.
OG = original ?
Or does it mean something else?
A B Yes, it means original.
Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Banjo (Banjo)
Banjo (Banjo)
Said he wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
He wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
If he see me on sight that man know
[Verse 1]
Play me? Play me?
You no be knight, you no fit save me
Na mi be prize, I do the upgrading
You see my life no need complicating
The game you spit? That’s weak
No fit sweep me off my feet
Ok you tried, that’s sweet
Now back up, give me 15 feet
I’m off that, I got my own it’s all facts
Bebe on the track…it’s gon slap
I dey find chop, I no dey find snack
If you no understand fall back
Chasing the bag not a man
I want it all, yeah that’s the plan
I’ll have it all, yeah if I can
Music to my ears, just like a band
[Chorus]
Banjo (Banjo)
Banjo (Banjo)
Said he wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)

Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
If he see me on sight that man know
[Verse 2]
Na love, it’s love
Been here before, don seen what it does
Settled for cheats, settled for scrubs
Settled for less, it was what it was
That na then, this be now
No be so, iy go go down
Strong enough to stand my ground
I dey lift me up and hold me down (Hmmm)
Gonna take more than a pretty little face
Sweet, sweet words in my space
No dey play hard, no dey play chase
If I wanted to, you’d be laid up in my space
Good friends? Got that
New gear? Copped that
Bottles? Popped that
Cuffing season? Cropped that
[Chorus]
Banjo (Banjo)
Banjo (Banjo)
Said he wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
He wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)

Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
If he see me on sight that man know

This needs to reach a million views.
This song is even better high. Like super high.

I'm just OBSESSED with this song. The African drums are, like, so inviting to move... hypnotic is the adjective
🥰
I honestly love this more then words can say, The entire time I watched this I had a HUGE smile on my face. THANK U FOR THIS BEBE!

Great work mama! Bebe always so high!

Who ever was the director of this video, did a good job. This is track is FIIIIIRRREEEEEEE. BENE U KILLED IT
The vocals on the chorus is really good
This 👏🏾 was 👏🏾 EVERYTHING!!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ladies and Gentlemen there is a reason why she is the first winner!!
ok but ... she is the reigning queen of cameroon
It’s so good to know that she definitely embraces her being African into the pop culture. Wonderful.
I’m super into this. African beats and all those looks! Werqqqq!!
This song is everything.
Shortly after her season of RPDR, Bebe Zahara Benet was signed to Colombia Records.
She's no ordinary queen. She a bonafide artist.
Was she really?!?!?!?!?
@@islandguy4u, yes she was. She recorded "I'm The Sh!t" while signed to Colombia Records.
@@EmpathicJustice wow that's amazing!!
Columbia records maybe, cause Colombia is the country haha
I love this! It's your time Bebe.
Paramedic.... we were not READY.. Mother.. we're gonna need a 10hr extension from 3:04 to 3:18. That instrumental whatever IS WHAT WE NEED!!.
Monjay Kovati literally i keep goin back to that parrt too!!
This is the kind of chaos I want. BeBe dropping a fire club song... when they’re all closed 😭😭
props to the producer of the song
and the video!
I Regularly come back and listen.. it just pops up in my mind
I think the reason the boys ignore her in this video is because they fail to see her real worth.

Speculation. 🙏🏽 music is music. Stop over analyzing. Go get fucked silly. It will help with your perception of reality. 👌🏾
No tea no shade but ur the first drag queen that I’m adding to my playlist. Keep slaying the game Bebe!!!
Hey! Did you hear "Barbara" Trixie Mattel's new album, it is soo good! Im adicted.. xo
And that is why she is our OG Winner, henny!
Happy one year anniversary of a real bop.
Afrobeat officially has a drag superstar
THIS is why she’s the OG queen! We need Bebe Zahara Benet! She’s proud of her heritage and her drag is very much inspired by her African roots. It’s beautiful and so gracious!
This is soooo gooooddd!!!!!! I’m obsessed! Haha the lyric saying to stay 15 feet away was very appropriate for the time! Love you!
Jose Plaza 😂😂😂
Her yellow look is everything 😍😍😍
OMG! I'm living fof this! Thank you, Bebe, for giving RPDR fans some Afrobeat! I hope this makes them to listen to more Afrobeat tunes. Africa has so many fierce talented divas the world needs to appreciate more!
