Benny The Butcher's latest project, *Buffalo Butch, Vol. 1*, was met with anticipation and excitement upon its release on August 23, 2024. However, fans are now grappling with confusion and frustration as the EP has mysteriously vanished from streaming platforms just days after its debut.
The three-track EP featured the highly anticipated “Buffalo Freestyle” collaboration with Drake, alongside contributions from Fabolous and 38 Spesh. The sudden removal of the EP from services such as Spotify has left fans bewildered, with many taking to Benny’s social media for answers.
"Where tf did it go?? Shits gone off Spotify," one fan commented on Benny’s recent Instagram post promoting the EP, while another asked, "Why not available anymore??" Speculation is rife, with some suggesting that Drake’s own recent musical activity might be behind the EP's withdrawal.
The “Buffalo Freestyle” had been a point of contention for Benny The Butcher, who had expressed frustration over the song's delay and its previous leaks. Initially teased in 2020 and considered for inclusion on Drake’s *Certified Lover Boy* album, the track had been a significant source of anticipation among fans.
Benny had previously mentioned the song’s potential in an interview, acknowledging that while he was disappointed it didn’t make the final cut of Drake's album, he understood the complexities involved. His recent interview with Joe Budden further highlighted his disappointment over the track’s shelved status, emphasizing its significance as one of his most important records.
Despite the buzz, Benny has yet to provide a detailed explanation for the EP’s abrupt removal. Fans are left hoping for clarity on the matter and for the EP's return to streaming platforms in the near future.
