He was nominated as a Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards after his single "Beautiful Things" became one of the hottest songs in the world.

Team J Balvin defeated Team Druski by 10 points (50-40), and U.S. Women's National Team flag football star Ashlea Klam won MVP of the game. Thearon W.

Cardi B, Brenda Song, and Sauce Gardner joined the booth to provide commentary on the game, while Method Man served as the celeb photographer for the evening, taking pictures on the field. I was able to catch up with Benson after the game and asked him who his dream musical collaborators would be. He didn't even need to think about his answer.

I've been listening a little bit, getting into the R&B world." Karlton Jahmal / BuzzFeed Benson also shared that he recently took a break from music. "I just took a break from music for, like, two months, dude," he revealed. "I went and traveled, just got off my phone." Karlton Jahmal / BuzzFeed When I asked Benson where he's been traveling to, he replied, "I was in Europe. I was in Italy, I was up in Norway, and I was in Amsterdam. Just kind of getting out, and snowboarding. Enjoying the world, putting my phone down." Karlton Jahmal / BuzzFeed Lastly, since it was the Celebrity Flag Football Game, I had to ask what position he would play on a real NFL team. "Safety or wide receiver, 100%" stated Benson excitedly.
