Video: Benson Boone Needs $10 Million—and a Better Trick Than a Backflip

The rising pop star just teased his new single—while roasting his haters harder than ever.
Benson Boone doesn’t waste time when it comes to firing back at critics—and he does it in the funniest way possible.
In a new TikTok video, Boone plays out a dramatic phone call with his manager, who tells him he’s run out of “gimmicks” to keep fans hooked. The flips? Overdone. The stunts? Tired. What he really needs now is to write better songs—or something new entirely. Oh, and he apparently owes $10 million… due in seven days.
Fans couldn’t help but notice Boone’s acting chops in the clip, too. The delivery, the timing, the shot—it all worked. Some are even wondering: is an acting career on the horizon? We wouldn’t mind seeing him pop up in a few films.
The video lines up perfectly with the release of his new single Mr Electric Blue, dropping this Friday. Whether intentional or not, this skit is genius promo—just enough chaos to keep fans buzzing.
