Benny Blanco Faces Criticism for Showcasing Expensive Blueberries

The music producer shared a TikTok video showing himself enjoying a luxurious $200 box of blueberries, which were individually packed. In the clip posted recently, Blanco expressed admiration for the size and taste of the blueberries, describing them as “fucking huge” and “delicious,” while marveling at their high price.

Despite Blanco’s apparent enthusiasm for the fruit, viewers quickly criticized him for tone-deafness amid ongoing economic struggles. Many commented that not everyone can afford basic groceries, and some pointed out the stark disparity between Blanco’s luxury snack and the everyday financial challenges faced by many.

One comment remarked, “Why do the rich get all the PR packages and stuff? We can’t even pay for groceries anymore,” while another said, “The rich are not taxed enough.” Others sarcastically noted the message behind such displays, with one writing, “It’s giving let them eat cake.”

Yet, some fans defended Blanco, arguing that he earned his wealth and success, and that his content reflects his personal enjoyment rather than insensitivity. A supporter wrote, “He’s talented and earned his success,” emphasizing that his ability to indulge in such luxuries is a result of his accomplishments.

Blanco’s prior actions show a taste for simple pleasures—he once surprised his fiancée, Selena Gomez, with a taco-themed Valentine’s Day gift and a bathtub full of queso dip, highlighting his more down-to-earth side.

The artist has not commented publicly about the recent controversy. However, his personal life includes a history of sharing relaxed and relatable moments with Gomez, contrasting his recent display of luxury with her more modest palate.
