Benzino has hit back at 50 Cent after the G-Unit boss posted a video of him appearing to be on the verge of suicide.
On Wednesday (December 18), 50 shared a clip on Instagram of the former Source magazine publisher sobbing on the floor and telling his girlfriend to “call the police” as he holds a knife in his hand.
50 captioned the distressing footage: “Benzino caught on video, by his girlfriend Ashley Bell threatening to unalive him self with a knife because she called the cops for him allegedly beating her.”
‘Zino was quick to address the viral video, claiming that it had been taken out of context.

“First and foremost, I just want to let everybody know I’m okay,” he said. “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.
“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.”
He then directly addressed 50 Cent: “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?”
Benzino added in his caption: “Be on the lookout for me staring in 2 movies for 2025 ‘Bloodline 2’ from @bloodlinemoviemiami and ‘It’s Morning’ by @geecheeone Thanks Curtis @50cent.”
Benzino has previously claimed that he could beat 50 Cent in a boxing match.
“Being big don’t mean nothing in boxing, history has shown us that,” he said on the We in Miami podcast. “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.”
He added: “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.”
Benzino had also challenged longtime rival Eminem, as well as Joe Budden, to bouts in the ring.
He said: “Me and Eminem, it would be crazy. Put us on the undercard of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson […] I’ll knock Eminem out, 30 seconds into the round. I would demolish him. I would beat the shit out of Eminem in a boxing match. There’s no question about it.”
“Benzino’s girlfriend” be real dawg Benzino is a transformers fan
Who brags about how much they bench anymore? Thats high school ego lifter shit. Bumzino 🤣
“I’m in the gym heavy, benching 315. What you doing, Curtis?”…. Making TV shows and generally being more successful. Also, that is far too old to be bragging about benching. Might as well start bragging about owning a car.
Get that mans meat out your throat. Im sure he aint paying you to throat him in this comment section.
Pac isn’t lying though it is weird af to be bragging about benching as an older dude. You do that in High School and College if you play sports and that’s it. Pac was stating the obvious any normal person knows this.
…and when these tubis come out, he’ll lie and tell the world those scenes weren’t included in it💯…if it was real it’s sad as hell. Hope he stays on the positive level🙏
I hope he gets the help that he needs.
A Tubi movie. Riiiiiiiiiight 🙄. It’ll be just like his neck: nobody sees it.
practicing for an acting role? more like acting like he didnt just try to ff himself.
This dude is a father for Christ sake. How selfish it is to attempt a suicide without any consideration for the kids you leave behind. FOH
tell me you never had a dad without saying it.
Tell me you lack of brain cells without saying it.
“I would never put my hands on any woman”. Truer words never said as Bumzino loves men, not women
acting for a movie the fucking oscar goes to…………………
He can’t lay hands on anybody with those T-Rex arms.
Old lame ass at the gym full of steroids and HGH
Plot twist – There is no movie.
