Benzino, who is known for his past role as the editor of The Source magazine, has previously boasted about his potential to defeat 50 Cent in a boxing ring. He argued, “Being big don’t mean nothing in boxing, history has shown us that.” Benzino pointed out 50’s past struggles, mentioning, “50’s been shot in the face before so that counts. He had to get reconstructive surgery; he’s not gonna be able to take any old punch in his face.” This statement not only reflects Benzino’s confidence but also serves as a commentary on the physical demands and realities of boxing.
He elaborated further, stating, “If we were to box in a boxing match and I were to train for a couple months, hell yeah I could box 50. I’m gonna pick me every time.” This bold declaration is indicative of the ongoing competitive nature between the two artists and highlights Benzino’s belief in his ability to stand up against 50 Cent.
Adding to the drama, there was a peculiar incident that caught the attention of both fans and media, where 50 Cent posted a video depicting Benzino in a deeply distressing moment. In the video shared on Instagram, Benzino appeared to threaten self-harm while crying on the floor, requesting his girlfriend to “call the police” as he held a knife. This situation raised serious concerns and garnered significant public reaction.
50 captioned the unsettling footage: “Benzino caught on video, by his girlfriend Ashley Bell threatening to unalive himself with a knife because she called the cops for him allegedly beating her.” This statement not only added fuel to the ongoing feud but also sparked discussions about mental health and the responsibilities of public figures in sharing such personal struggles.
In response to the viral video, Benzino quickly addressed the situation, claiming that the footage had been misinterpreted. He stated, “First and foremost, I just want to let everybody know I’m okay.” He clarified further, saying, “Second of all, I want to let everybody know that was a rehearsal for a Tubi movie. My girl was helping me out. We was doing a script reading and that was a rehearsal for a Tubi movie.” This explanation aims to mitigate the damage caused by the video and reframe the narrative surrounding his emotional state.
He continued to assert his character, stating: “That was the scene from the movie. I would never ever put my hands on any woman. I’ve never done that in my life. That’s for cowards and I surely wouldn’t do anything to hurt myself.” In a direct jab at 50 Cent, he added, “I also want to let Curtis know, thanks Curtis for promoting me. Keep on posting me, that’s dope. I’m in the gym heavy, benching 315. What you doing, Curtis?” This statement reflects Benzino’s attempt to turn the negative situation into a positive one, showcasing his commitment to fitness and determination.
