Benzino, the former CEO of The Source magazine, has publicly responded to 50 Cent’s recent social media posts that mockingly referenced alleged “snitch paperwork.” In a heated exchange during an interview on the Ghetto Report podcast, Benzino attempted to clarify his position regarding the shooting incident that occurred at his mother’s funeral, in which he was injured by gunfire.

In the interview, Benzino reflected on the trauma of being shot and recounted the circumstances that led to the altercation. He emphasized that during his initial interactions with the police, he was in a state of panic and confusion. Benzino stated, “I don’t know who shot me,” while discussing the grand jury process where he ultimately did not identify the alleged shooter. He asserted that he did not testify against his nephew, who was later convicted for shooting in a dwelling—an act that did not directly involve Benzino.

The tension between Benzino and 50 Cent escalated as the rapper shared clips of Benzino’s interview, accompanied by his own commentary. In response, Benzino challenged 50 Cent to a boxing match, expressing confidence in his ability to defeat the rapper in the ring. “Come on, let’s finish the interview… get a ring and I’ll beat you,” he stated during the podcast.

Benzino’s comments come amidst ongoing public disputes with 50 Cent, who has a history of using social media to ridicule his opponents. As the controversy unfolds, Benzino maintains that he has not engaged in any form of “snitching,” arguing that he was coerced into court appearances and did not intend to implicate anyone. “If I would have said he shot me, he would have done 15 years,” he claimed, underscoring his insistence on not being responsible for the legal consequences faced by his nephew.

The interview has drawn considerable attention, particularly given the sensitive nature of the shooting incident and the public’s interest in the ongoing feud between the two figures. Benzino’s fervent defense of his actions and character has sparked discussions among fans and observers regarding the implications of loyalty, testimony, and the complexities surrounding street credibility.

As details of the altercation and Benzino’s rebuttals continue to circulate, it remains to be seen how the public and the involved parties will respond to these developments in their long-standing dispute. Benzino’s efforts to clear his name highlight the increasingly public and contentious nature of celebrity conflicts, particularly in the age of social media.
