Music producer Benny Blanco recently opened up on an unusual approach towards hygiene that didn’t go well with fans and sparked a social media frenzy involving Selena Gomez.
In a candid interview with People, Benny said that he does not take daily showers, believing the practice would work towards maintaining his natural oils and keeping his skin “juicy.” He prefers a mix of masculine and feminine fragrances, blending the scents of tobacco and cotton candy, he says, to create a unique aroma.

Although Benny also revealed that his approach does not make him smell bad, this statement has turned into an online controversy very soon. Social media users lightly teased his hygiene habits, suggesting Selena Gomez—who is rumored to be dating the producer—consider her choice. One user wrote, “Selena, this might be your sign to run!”; another joked “Tobacco and cotton candy? Sounds like a carnival gone wrong.”
Adding fuel to the funny fire, there are reports that Selena herself found amusing but also really tough to handle. Whether or not this will affect his rumored relationship with Selena remains to be seen, but one thing is sure: Benny’s honesty earned him both laughs and side-eyes.
Recently Selena Gomez was elated to share the news of her lover receiving the title of ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ in the 2024 edition of a popular magazine. Sharing a picture of Benny who was photographed lying on a dinner table and revealing his version of the fast food dish, the popular singer wrote, “Not only do you love me unconditionally… You always get me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza,” Reportedly both of them have been dating since 2023.
