Juno-winning rapper bbno$ stepping away from music over online negativity

Juno Fan Choice winner bbno$ cites persistent online bullying as the reason for pausing his music career and plans self-reflection in 2026, the artist said.

  • On Dec. 20, 2025, The Canadian Press reported that Juno-winning rapper bbno$ posted earlier this month on social media he would stop making music for the foreseeable future.
  • On the Fear& podcast this week, bbno$ said he tries to stay positive but has faced sustained online negativity and admitted, `I've just been bullied online`.
  • His rise began with the 2019 single `Lalala` and gained traction on TikTok in 2021 with `Edamame`; he posed for photos after winning the TikTok Juno Fan Choice award in Vancouver on March 30, 2025.
  • He framed the break as time for self-reflection in 2026, saying on the Fear& podcast `I've done what I've needed to do in my life, and maybe I'll come back, maybe I don't.`
  • The timing — weeks after his Fan Choice Juno win over Tate McRae and Shawn Mendes — highlights how fans and online community struggle with online negativity.
