BNXN Reclaims His Career With Six-Track EP ‘Still in Charge’

BNXN is putting the focus back on the music—and on who gets to steer his career. With his new six-track EP, Still in Charge, the Afrobeats star is framing his next chapter around control after a turbulent year.

In a new interview with Billboard, BNXN discusses a messy management split, the therapeutic role music has played in his life and his effort to reclaim ownership of his career’s direction. The feature also includes his track-by-track guide to the project, giving him space to explain the release in his own terms.

That context gives Still in Charge a pointed title. This is not simply a new batch of songs arriving without a backstory. It comes alongside an artist’s account of professional upheaval—and his determination to move forward.

A reset beyond the release schedule

According to Billboard’s account, the management breakup is a central part of the story behind BNXN’s turbulent stretch. The emphasis now is on taking charge, with the EP serving as the musical centerpiece of that reset.

There is an important distinction here: reclaiming control of a career does not, by itself, establish anything about label status, master ownership or contractual arrangements. The supplied account offers no specifics on those matters. What it does establish is BNXN’s desire to put his own direction back at the center of the conversation.

For an artist navigating a difficult business relationship, that question of direction can carry as much weight as the next release itself. Here, the professional and creative sides of the story sit together rather than in separate lanes.

Music as a way through

BNXN also describes finding therapy through music. That makes the EP’s arrival part of a broader personal narrative, not just a career update: creating becomes a way to process a difficult period while deciding what comes next.

The six-track format keeps this chapter compact. Billboard’s accompanying song-by-song guide puts the artist’s explanations alongside the project, offering context for listeners approaching it through the headlines about his management split.

The clearest takeaway is not a claim that every issue has been resolved. It is that BNXN is choosing to lead with a new release and speak openly about the circumstances surrounding it. Still in Charge gives that intention a name—and six tracks to carry the conversation forward.
