Amid D’Angelo‘s death, more than a few artists, from Jill Scott to Maxwell and Lauryn Hill, sent him love on social media. Plenty have spoken on how he inspired them musically, while his children have opened up about their relationship with him. One day after D’Angelo passed away, Benzino also opted to show the R&B legend praise. Not even 24 hours later, he has closed the comment section under the post. And given the mixed reactions poppin’ off on social platforms, we can see why he said buh-bye to the feature, chile!

Benzino Sends D’Angelo Love With Viral 2020 Video​

In September 2020, the ‘Rock The Party’ rapper released a music video for his song, ‘Bigger Picture.’ From the start of the nearly three-minute video, it’s obvious Benzino drew inspiration from D’Angelo—specifically, the singer’s iconic shirtless moment in the video for ‘How Does It Feel.’ Again, it’s not the first time the internet is riled up over the video, given that Benzino’s version is five years old. Still, he used the clip on his latest Instagram account to honor D’Angelo. His caption said:

“I absolutely was influenced by the Amazing artist DAngelo Rip King your music is timeless. ”

When this article was published, Benzino closed the comment section, which had only 349 likes. He has not yet reacted to the backlash. Peep his tribute moment below.

It’s unclear when exactly Benzino turned off the tribute’s comment section. However, that didn’t stop D’Angelo’s fans from sounding OFF on other platforms, namely X. While there seems to be some confusion about when Zino filmed the video, the consensus is clear. The tribute was not IT—word to the internet, not us!
