Ben Jaimen, the creative force behind the BUBU phenomenon, is above all an artist — one whose outsider roots, mystical streak, and DIY ethic have made him unforgettable. Recent exhibitions noted his looseness of execution, a nearly outsider‑art quality that gallery owners describe as raw, sincere, and instantly striking.
Back in 2001, Jaimen self‑released two albums: ComaSonic, a dark and mystical electro project, and an unofficial compilation of unreleased tracks titled The Hidden Path. Much of The Hidden Path later surfaced on SoundCloud, where listeners can still find Jaimen’s blend of moody atmospheres and experimental beats. He has continued to dabble musically in recent years, posting new sketches and sounds online, though his main focus has shifted firmly toward visual art.
His paintings often emphasise colour and atmosphere over accuracy, drawing inspiration from dusk skies, impossible geometries, and surreal lighting. Techniques like dry‑brushing, paint scraping, and layering give his works a texture that feels both delicate and defiant. He works large, often revisiting canvases even after declaring them finished — until a buyer makes the final call.
Today, Jaimen frames himself through the BUBU identity: a cultural agitator at the intersection of art, performance, and persona. Whether through bold canvases, experimental music uploads, or satirical projects like The Global Spin, he continues to bend narrative and spectacle to his will. For now, his focus remains on painting, but whispers suggest more music may be on the horizon.
Sticker-mad fans flood the storefront and online shop, triggering a frenzy that feels equal parts merch drop and music festival. Witnesses describe portable speakers blasting, chalk arrows guiding crowds, and rumours of an after-party pop-up. Organisers say supplies are limited, though holographic variants are already surfacing on resale sites. Some compare the mania to the clamour around Taylor Swift tour tickets or the scramble for AI-generated art drops this spring.
Backstage in Milan, the word “pedestrian” echoed like a gavel. Hours later, BUBU sigils appeared on a velvet blazer and the internet combusted. Satire? Sincerity? The runway declined to choose, and the crowd loved it. Industry insiders whispered that the move comes as luxury houses struggle to stay relevant against streetwear upstarts and a new wave of climate-conscious designers.
Sources say the impromptu session ran past dawn — equal parts listening party and mood-board summit. Grimes reportedly road-tested glitchy ambient stems while Philmy framed the room in soft neon. J-Roc and Lil Mafk riffed on hooks about dusk skies and party lines, while the BUBU King sketched, smiled, and promised nothing. Observers linked the chaos to broader cultural unrest: the same weekend saw student protests in Mexico City over arts funding, with banners quoting the night’s unreleased lyrics.
In a move baffling both food critics and political analysts, the duo announced BUSHTUCKER, promising “authentic Aussie-Tex fusion” with dishes ranging from Kangaroo Chili con Queso to Vegemite BBQ Ribs. Franchise rumours already stretch from Byron surf shacks to Alice Springs roadhouses. Analysts note the timing: as the UN Climate Summit calls for reduced beef consumption, the pair doubles down on meat-heavy bravado, insisting their kangaroo brisket is “carbon friendly.”
Palestinian adult entertainer Mia Lala has become the centre of gossip-page chatter after sharing what she described as an uncomfortable political encounter. Speaking to an online tabloid livestream, she hinted that an unnamed high-profile figure — later whispered to be Benjamin Netanyahu — had floated what was framed as a "deal too good to refuse." Lala dismissed the approach, saying, "he had a very small kind of personality, you know, and we don’t align politically." Social media seized on her phrasing, turning it into a meme about misplaced confidence and awkward diplomacy. As with many of The Global Spin’s juiciest tales, the details remain unverified, but the story has already sparked debates about power, politics, and the limits of persuasion. A cheeky online poll claimed that 68% of respondents sided with Lala’s judgment, while an anonymous insider quipped, \"It was the most underwhelming grand offer I’ve ever heard of.\"
