Benny Blanco is at it again, dividing the internet with his unconventional shower habits - but this time fans are calling his move ‘diabolical’.
Last year, Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin, went viral for admitting he doesn’t shower every day.
"I also don't believe in always shampooing your hair or conditioning your hair. I'm really clean, but I don't shower every day,” he confessed during an interview with People.

"Some people I know shower two to three times a day," the celebrity shared, "But I feel like the oils on your skin don't have time to rejuvenate and get juicy."
The 37-year-old sparked mass debate, with some fans even pleading with his bride-to-be Selena Gomez, 32, to ‘leave him’ due to the ‘disgusting’ hygiene habit.
Now, Blanco is back. This time, the eleven-time Grammy Award-nominated producer has given fans an insight into what goes down when he actually does decide to shower.
A quick clip was posted to TikTok, soundtracked by his and fiancé Gomez’s track ‘How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten’.
It initially showed that Blanco had brought a bottle of Grey Goose vodka in to keep him company.
Blanco then panned the camera to the left, showing a box of fried chicken and biscuits from Popeyes precariously placed on the side of the tub.
A large Chipotle burrito was also sitting on the side of the bath without any packaging, alongside what appeared to be a pot of macaroni cheese.
The artist, who has previously collaborated with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Gracie Abrams, then showed he was holding a large bowl of ramen noodles as he prepared to get clean.
Blanco captioned his clip with the caption ‘foreal’, and has drawn comments from brands like Chipotle, Dole Packaged Foods, and Popeyes themselves.
“New self-care routine dropped,” the Louisiana Chicken restaurant wrote.
However, others have called the star out for this bizarre line-up, with one X user saying: “The bare burrito on the tub is diabolical.”
A second typed: “They need to stop eating in the bathroom that nasty.”
“Gold handles, grey goose, burritos in the bathtub or whatever Lorde said,” replied a TikTok user.
“The burrito just chilling in the corner without a plate is stressing me out,” echoed someone else.
However, a fifth commented: “Such a Taurus vibe I love how you and Selena are literal zodiac soulmates.”
Funnily enough, this isn’t the first time that Blanco has used his bathroom as a second kitchen.
For Valentine’s Day, he placed a trail of tortilla chips on the floor, leading to the bath which was completely filled with melted cheese.
“When your fiancé isn't much of a flowers girl,” he wrote alongside a video capturing the wild gesture.
Blanco and Gomez, who have been dating since December 2023, have recently admitted there were some ‘almost-sabotages’ at the beginning of their relationship.
"At the very beginning, in her first few trips away, she was still gaining that trust,” the music producer recently said on an episode of the On Purpose podcast.
“When you start dating someone you’re not only dating them, you’re also dating every single person they’ve ever dated.
"You’re getting every piece of baggage that person’s had. With partners, parents, this that. I had to find a way to build that trust with her, not being overbearing but make it feel real and make her actually believe it and vice versa,"
Blanco went on to say that the Wizards of Waverly Place alumna is one of the ‘easiest’ people to get along with in the world and that he understands both her ‘strengths’ and ‘weaknesses’ as a person.
