Rising pop sensation Benjamin Elgar has already turned heads with sultry singles “Better Tho” and “Too High.” Now, the Paris-born singer is turning up the heat by teaming up with internet and music sensation Bhad Bhabie on new single, “Hoe.”
Dancing with a crowd of glistening men in the video, Elgar is bringing a rare attitude and claiming his space. “I made ‘Hoe’ for anyone who’s ever been called too much for being loud, confident, or unapologetically themselves,” says Elgar. “It’s not just a song, it’s a statement. A middle finger turned into a power anthem. I wanted it to feel bold, unfiltered and alive. When people watch this, I want them to feel sexy and powerful.”
Tapping Bhad Bhabie was the right move for a song that seeks to exude power and gravitas. Bhad Bhabie, internet mogul and digital darling, has used her music to express her perspective and strength since her debut, “Gucci Flip Flops.”
“I loved this song. As soon as I heard it and couldn’t wait to go cut my verse,” Bhad Bhabie tells PAPER. “It was fun working on something more pop than I’m used to. Although I don’t really make records like this myself, I secretly listen to a lot of this type of stuff,” she shares. In the video, Bhad Bhabie poses and delivers her hard verse in front of a fearsome wall of fire.
“Benjamin is an incredible performer and dancer and I had a lot of fun shooting the video,” she says. “I can’t wait for everybody to see it.”
Good thing for fans, the video is now out. And more music from Elgar is on the way.
