Benny Blanco is coming clean about his personal hygiene.
After footage of his dirty feet went viral last month, the music producer—who is married to Selena Gomez—addressed online chatter about his supposed body odor, with his longtime pal Ed Sheeran even coming to his defense.
“I’m like you, though. I look like I don’t smell good,” Ed joked on the March 10 episode of Benny’s Friends Keep Secrets podcast, “but you’re the best smelling person I know.”
Benny replied, “I know! I smell good—even if I don’t shower.”
The two went on to agree that if anyone were to face backlash over their musk, it should be Benny’s podcast co-host Lil Dicky.
“That’s like a bum hole,” Ed quipped, after getting a whiff of the rapper’s bellybutton. “Can I have something that’s going to take that smell away?”
Benny added, “Mine smells just like nothing.”
As for why the soles of his feet were covered in dirt during a past episode of his podcast, sending the internet into a frenzy? “It’s the facility’s fault,” Benny explained during his Feb. 26 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “It’s not mine.”
