Benny Blanco has sparked outrage online after posting a video of himself eating a luxury box of blueberries, which cost a staggering $200
The 37-year-old music producer, who is engaged to pop superstar Selena Gomez, took to TikTok to show off the pricey fruit, which came in sleek black packaging with each berry placed in its own compartment.
In the clip, Blanco marveled: ‘These blueberries they just sent me are the biggest things I’ve seen in the world. Watch. They come, like, individually packed. This is insane. Look at this blueberry!’
After taking his first bite of one, the songwriter looked taken aback as he gushed: ‘It’s like a f**king meal. Can you guys even see the scale of this? They are f**king huge. They are delicious. I think the boxes are like $200.’
Despite his excitement, fans were quick to blast the lavish purchase, with many pointing out the current cost-of-living crisis in Blanco’s comments section.
One unimpressed commenter wrote: ‘Sir, we’re not rich enough to relate to this,’ while another quipped: ‘Meanwhile I can’t afford regular fruit.’
Others shared their own grocery store struggles, with one user noting: ‘$200?!!! Here I gasped at $7.06 for my Cotton Candy grapes last week.’
Another joked: ‘I don’t even have 200 in my account! Must be nice spending that much just for blueberries.’
Some compared the post to dystopian fiction, with one person commenting: ‘It’s giving Hunger Games,’ while another declared: ‘Watching from District 13.’
A few jumped to Blanco’s defense, reminding critics of his success.
‘Everyone hating on him because he’s rich and can afford $200 blueberries… he earned his success and money,’ one fan argued.
Still, the viral clip, which has already racked up thousands of comments, shows just how sharply divided the internet can be when it comes to celebrity spending.
Blanco, who confirmed his engagement to Gomez earlier this year, has not yet addressed the backlash directly.
