Selena Gomez’s fiancé Benny Blanco is SLAMMED for purchasing $200 blueberries: ‘I can’t afford regular fruit’

by

Online, Benny Blanco has ignited a wave of controversy by sharing a video of him indulging in an expensive box of blueberries worth a whopping $200.

The renowned music producer, aged 37 and fiancé of pop sensation Selena Gomez, shared on TikTok a high-end box of berries, delivered in sophisticated black packaging, with each individual berry neatly arranged in separate compartments.

In the video, Blanco exclaimed with amazement: “These blueberries that were sent to me are absolutely enormous! Just watch – they arrive separately packaged. Incredible! Check out this massive blueberry!

After tasting it for the first time, the songwriter seemed surprised and exclaimed, “Wow, it’s like a full meal! You all need to see the size of this! They are enormous. They are delicious. I believe the box costs around $200.

Despite his enthusiasm, fans swiftly criticized the extravagant buy, numerous ones highlighting the ongoing financial struggle (cost-of-living crisis) in Blanco’s comment section.

Or:

Though he was thrilled, fans were fast to condemn the luxurious acquisition, many bringing up the current economic hardship (cost-of-living crisis) in their comments on Blanco’s post.

1. One critic humorously remarked: “Sir, it seems we don’t have the wealth to connect with this,” and another person joked: “While I can barely afford everyday fruits.”

2. One individual wittily stated: “Sir, it looks like we’re not wealthy enough to understand this,” and another humorously noted: “On the other hand, I can hardly buy common fruits.”

3. One skeptic humorously said: “Sir, it seems our pockets aren’t deep enough for this,” and another sarcastically added: “As for me, I struggle to purchase basic fruits.”

Other users also spoke about their own difficulties with grocery shopping, and one person commented in disbelief about the price of their Cotton Candy grapes: “Wow, $200?! Last week, I was taken aback by just $7.06 for them!

Another quipped: ‘I hardly have 200 dollars in my bank! It must be luxurious to splurge that amount on blueberries.’

Some have likened this post to a form of dystopian literature, with one individual saying it resembles “The Hunger Games,” and another stating they feel like they are observing from “District 13.

A few jumped to Blanco’s defense, reminding critics of his success. 

The fan defended him, stating that although some people dislike him due to his wealth allowing him to buy expensive $200 blueberries, they forget that he genuinely worked hard for his achievements and financial status.

Even though the viral video, with numerous comments already accumulated, clearly demonstrates the significant divisions on the internet regarding celebrities’ expenditures.

White, who announced his engagement to Gomez earlier this year, hasn’t responded specifically to the criticism that followed.

Despite his inclination for pricey dishes, Blanco has lauded Gomez’s simple tastes in food instead.

During an interview on iHeart Radio in March 2025, the producer expressed with great enthusiasm that her future spouse is particularly delightful to make happy.

When speaking about his Taco Bell-themed proposal, Blanco shared with Rolling Stone that his inspiration stemmed from his fiancée’s affection for the fast-food restaurant.

He mentioned that they casually enjoy N64 gaming and ordering Domino’s, stating their everyday life isn’t complicated. They’re fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful individuals, and they continue to savor every moment.

She went on to say: “It seems both yesterday and a lifetime ago since our engagement. I’ve known her for over two decades, which makes it feel as though we’ve already gone through all our shared history. By the time we started dating, it felt like a whirlwind.
