Benny The Butcher isn't happy with the way fans are consuming music.

Benny The Butcher says fans don't sit back and enjoy music anymore, instead, they're focused more on critiquing the art. Venting on social media, earlier this week, he explained his issue with the way people consume music.

“Stop tryna always give ya’ll opinion 'cause you n****s is not Stephen A. Smith,” Benny said. “Respectfully though. It’s like, enjoy the music. Motherf*ckas don’t enjoy the music no more. They just critique the music. The people that you critiquing, you gotta realize, a large percent of them got here without your opinion. Like respectfully, don’t take this the wrong way, but I get online and I see just people critiquing sh*t. Saying what they like and don’t like. Enough of that bullsh*t man. Get back to enjoying the music man."
