Benzino Breaks Down
The former co-owner of ‘The Source’ magazine appeared on a recent episode of ‘Drink Champs’ released on Saturday, February 17. During his appearance, he became emotional while speaking on a range of topics.
Initially, Benzino explained that he has “nothing against” Eminem and congratulates him on all his success. To note, Benzino blasted Eminem with bars after Em’ dropped a diss track aimed at Benzino earlier this year, per The Shade Room. The pair reportedly have been involved in a yearslong standing feud.
Benzino went on to explain that “every time” he does an interview, he’s asked about Eminem.
From there, he went on to state that he loves his daughter, Coi Leray. However, he “raised her like any other street n***a.”
“We gotta be out there gettin’ money for our kids,” he continued. “We can’t raise our kids like Cliff Huxtable.”
To note, Leray has publicly addressed her father on numerous occasions for allegedly being absent from her childhood, per VIBE.
At that point, Benzino’s comments seemingly went on to address society at large. He explained that “we’re failing as a people.”
