bbno$ drops “diamonds are forever” like a cheeky middle finger to the hustle, out now via bbno$ and broke, with that glossy video turning LA’s sweater weather into a flex-fest of iced-out irony and late-night what-ifs.
This one’s bbno$ in peak meme-lord mode: bouncy pop-rap hooks laced with his signature deadpan wit, courtesy of Aussie beatsmith M-Phazes who layers trap snares under shimmering synths that sparkle like the titular gems. It’s got that effortless earworm bounce—think early 2010s radio rap meets TikTok virality—clocking in at under three minutes but punching way above with verses that skewer fame’s hollow shine.
Thematically, it’s a sly autopsy of the money chase: dating actresses who ghost your punchlines, blowing stacks on poke bowls while dodging broke nightmares, and hollering “I love you” to Mom from tour buses. That chorus? Pure gold—“Money makes us feel like we can almost live forever / But it don’t ever make us better”—flipping James Bond cool into a reminder that highs fade, but bling’s the one constant lie we buy. Directed by Niall Proctor and Shiraz, the visual’s a hazy cruise through Hollywood hills, all neon filters and bbno$ mugging in oversized fits, racking 500K views in hours and spawning TikTok stitches of fans lip-syncing the “iced out” flex.
No album tether here—just a standalone scorcher hot on the heels of his self-titled bbno$ LP from October ’25, that 21-track beast packed with bops like “help herself” and collabs with Yung Gravy. But this feels like bbno$ leveling up the introspection without losing the goof: less baby-no-money scrappiness, more seasoned smirk at the game that made him. Recorded in LA sessions where he traded Vancouver snow for Slope-side vibes (who knew?), it nods to his globe-trotting glow-up— from dental school dropout to 10M monthly streamers, with sold-out arenas and that “lalala” billion-stream shadow still trailing.
He’s owning 2026 like it’s his playground, fresh off Cottonwood Mall 2’s holiday bump and festival slots that had crowds chanting his absurd ad-libs. bbno$ isn’t evolving so much as amplifying—trading viral one-offs for cuts that sneak wisdom under the humor, proving the kid with the buckteeth grin can spit truths that stick harder than any chain.

Lyrics of diamonds are forever by bbno$
[Verse 1]
I’ll Date An Actress If It Means That She Knows How To Play Her Role
She’d Call Me Up Just To Tell Me She Never Really Liked My Jokes
I Fuck My Life Up For The Show ’cause I’m Afraid Of Going Broke
Call My Mom, Say I Love Her ’cause She Worries When I’m On The Road
Money Makes Us Feel Like We Can Almost Live Forever
And We Use It As A Cure, But It Don’t Ever Make Us Better
So I’m Iced Out, Walking ’round The Neighborhood, It’s Sweater Weather
Yeah, This High Is Temporary, But These Diamonds Are Forever
Yeah, These Diamonds Are Forever
Yeah, These Diamonds Are Forever [Verse 2]
Archineck Twins Up On My Floor Playing Mahogany And Oak
I Ordered Tuna Over Rice And Somebody Told Me It’s “Poke”
I Had No Idea How Much La People Loved To Hit The Slopes
Once My Name Popped Up On These Screens, They Started Blowing Me Like Smoke
[Chorus]
Money Makes Us Feel Like We Can Almost Live Forever
And We Use It As A Cure, But It Don’t Ever Make Us Better
So I’m Iced Out, Walking ’round The Neighborhood, It’s Sweater Weather
Yeah, This High Is Temporary, But These Diamonds Are Forever
Yeah, These Diamonds Are Forever
Yeah, These Diamonds Are Forever
