Twitter started to swell with tweets suggesting Benny The Butcher was shot in Houston, Texas over the weekend. According to KHOU-11, the Houston Police Department said officers are investigating after at least one person was shot during an attempted robbery in a Walmart parking lot on Saturday afternoon (November 14).
The unidentified man is rumored to be the Griselda MC. On Sunday (November 15), numerous fans took to the social media platform with questions such as “Benny The Butcher got shot?!” and “Did anyone hear @BennyBsf got shot???”
Now, TMZ has confirmed with the HPD Benny was indeed the victim in the botched robbery. The Buffalo-bred rapper was in town likely on business and hit up a local Walmart with a couple of his friends. While they were in sitting in their car, another vehicle with five men inside pulled up next to them, drew their guns and demanded their chains.
Benny and his crew were apparently moving too slow for the alleged robbers, so one of them fired a round into Benny’s leg and they quickly fled. Benny and his friends peeled off as well but ultimately pulled over to call the police.
Benny was taken to a hospital for treatment, but his condition is currently unknown at this time. So far, the suspects haven’t been apprehended, but investigators are working on finding them.

Don’t wish it on him but hope this is a wake up call for WSG and Griselda before they’d be imploding soon. AYO. AYO. AYO. BOOMBOOMBOOM. DOOTDOOTDOOT. BRRRR
fuq yo ! its daaaaangerous out here.
So much black excellence in this story!
As a proud and excellent black king, I blame wypipo for this shooting. It’s so obvious- “Walmart” and “white man” are the same number of syllables. Wake up y’all! Stop bein so sleep. King on king crime is a myth, perpetrated by pale cave beasts! Y’all already new doe.
My guy i can tell u have been white washed cause u failed to mention that the toothfairy was really a black lady my g and these blue eyed demons distorted the history books yo. These white devils got to you fam. Its all science and mathematics, ah shallah raekwon my brother.
Pretend for a second he was shot by a cop. I guess wallmarts all over the country would be robbed and destroyed already
Nah, this is just typical black friday shopping behavior. Somebody wanted that 55″ 4k TCL that was on sale this weekend.
This has been going on for centuries.. Now that you got the Internet Houston where u @ LK
Dear White People
It’s funny how you always have something to say when you don’t live the life we live, the only thing you’ll got to worry about is drug overdose, incest and the next door neighbor killing your dog facts, u dont know the street life, u dont know about what its like about growing up without a father, u don’t know what its like to have to hustle so your little brothers and sisters can eat, u dont know what its like to be on the street corner not doing a 9 to 5 but 24/7 so your mother don’t have to work 2 to 3 jobs so the family can have something for Christmas, you don’t know nothing about standing on the corner and a car roll up and spray the block, you dont know nothing about loosing your life or close friends and family to gun violence, so be4 u start saying stupid like BLM when its black on black violence, the only time BLM matters is when its white on black violence, or cops on black violence show respect for stuff you dont know and how most of us grow up, so when stuff like this happens you have nothing to say cause you don’t live that life.
Dear Fake Black People
it dont amaze me how stupid you can be most of you’ll act white and the ones who are white wanna act black plz shut up and dont say nothing #culturevulture
That’s crazy
One of the most pathetic things I’ve ever read in a comments section, and that’s saying a lot. Once again, zero personal responsibility. Still glorifying a dead end, dangerous, backwards lifestyle, like you have no free will to better yourself or get a real job. Keep it up, though. You’ll wind up like Lil Titty Fart or whichever trash rapper got shot most recently.
Stop pulling the poor me shit, no 1 gives a f*CK, we all got are problems
The minute you say “only time BLM matters is when its white on black violence” , that ascertains everything that people reject, fear and despise in this movement. Thank you for making it blatantly clear. It’s funny you’re saying this like non black people don’t struggle, like people like Eminem didn’t come up from being fatherless white trailer park trash, hillbillies in the south and Appalachians, or Asians constantly targeted by blacks for “not paying their dues” in America. Unskilled labor across ALL RACES work multiple jobs to make ends meet. You don’t wanna be another statistic in inner city areas? Stay in school, do well in school, save up, go to college and beyond. Stop blaming everything on race and what you cannot control!
Lmfao wow this might be the most ignorant devoid of any fact comment I’ve seen in a long time … I truly feel sorry for you sir … we all can tell your moms was one of the ones on the pipe while she was pregnant with you … do everyone a favor and make sure you are on the next block that gets sprayed up … the world doesn’t have time for crybabies that blame everyone else for their problems … oh and as far as culture vultures go there is nothing in society that is owned by a single culture … how many flucking black people you know are born with blond hair? Tell Wayne and his little wannabes to hop off their skateboard … oh and that technology you are using to post your dumbass comment wasn’t invented to a black person … so let this be the last time hop on the internet… oh and the shitty car you drive … put the keys away because it wasn’t invented by a black person …. and hip-hop …boy you better do your research on that one playboy because sorry to inform you but white people have been apart of it since it’s inception … from mc’s to producers to the execs to fans … and if it wasn’t for those white fans hip-hop wouldn’t be a financially viable avenue … so next time you want to post a comment … check your racism at the keyboard a different race/culture invented … one love
“Dear Fake Black People it dont amaze me how stupid you can be most of you’ll act white and the ones who are white wanna act black plz shut up and dont say nothing #culturevulture”
Given not only the syntax and grammar of your entire post, but also the pathetic arguments contained within, I would try to refrain from questioning people’s intelligence. All that being said, your post, however poorly constructed, did have a quantum of truth. Not judging others who live in different situations is a noble pursuit. That doesn’t apply here though. You make rap songs glorifying violence and the streets. Expect it to happen to you, and be prepared. The streets don’t love a soul.
Did they said they pulled over and called the cops.?? now blue lives matter. Fk call BLM and report you getting shot
What race of people are born blue?
Yeah I thought he’s a gangsta that stays strapped?! Now all three of them been hit up or robbed smh. Stick to rapping about words and regular shit y’all clearly not with the street shit
Plus they called the cops smfh
They probably didn’t get a chance to pull out. The robbers said they were moving to slow. Sounds like they were stalling. They didn’t get robbed and that calling the police could be false.
So he didn’t have any of the guns on him that he raps about in every song. What about the gangster homies that he raps about in every song, were they busy at the time? These guys are just brainwashing the youth, When it comes time to step up, they aren’t as trained to go as they put on to be.
Yo when your just chillin in a car and 5 guys pull guns on you unexpectedly, you mostly likely won’t be able to grab a gun. You’ll get shot before you have the chance to grab it. Just common sense.
He never mentions these moments in his raps. He gets away and is a gangster in 19 out of 20 songs. When it was time to go, he was either not trained or got caught slippin.
I live on my computer, from my screen I can see that Benny the Butcher is not as gangsterrrr as he says. If he is so gangster, why didn’t he just pull out his gun while 5 guns are staring back at him and start shooting? He’s an accomplished rapper, he should know that’s a smart move. Welp. My hot pockets are done, I’m moving on to another post to give my opinion on shit I know nothing about. Yep, I’m pretty much a street/hood/gansterrrr expert…blm
These guys move in silence, he either slipped up bad, or it was someone in his crew. Regardless, hope he’s ok.
Say it won’t so Benny and Co. called the cops ? What part of the game is this ? “Disturbing string of gun violence “ – that’s all these rappers talk about. It’s not disturbing; it’s the norm and expected.
So they told on them after they was robbed??? For a supposed street dude this is not a good look for Benny
This fool must be friends wit 69
Your bitch is with 69
Hhbh
Being a rapper in 2020 is just as deadly as catching COVID-19 these days..smh
The comments to this story is the most entertaining shit I have read on this site in a long time!
I was thinking the same thing
Ol rollback price shopping headass
ROFLMAO
I enjoy these guys music but to all the Griselda fans here trying to defend this just admit Bennys not as street as you think he is. Getting shot is one thing but calling the police is another!
Damn, all the die hard Griselda stans are quiet as a church mouse on here. Guess they can’t wiggle their way outta this one.
What? He’s not superman. This could happen to anyone.
Na we here WHAT?????
Y’all late as hell though. You letting everyone talk shit about your favorite MC but you guys ain’t saying shit. Instead, you wanna attack me since I called out your bullshit. Just take the L.
What you saying bitch?
so someone out there with an axe to grind. someone wanting to make the headline news. maybe a contracted hit by a professional murderer that’s certainly what i think of straight away when something like this happens. five men? one car? what did benny, boozie and mo5 ever do to you? and can we see pictures any old hack can fake a news story we the readers want to believe it.
fake ass rappers deserve to be shot
Lol @ these comments. Maybe I’ve aged out of this place. Children smh
Stop the violence! When will black men stop killing each other?? Crabs in a barrel mentality
A chain is not worth your life, just give it to them quick
Why his bum ass even at Walmart bro? At least target I mean you suppose to be rich right?! Lol what a clown!!!!!!
Hope he makes it through and laughs about it … PnL
Stop thinking rappers are super heroes. They’re obviously studio gangsters. Only a kid or an adult with a child’s mind actually thinks rappers do what they rap about. 99% of rappers are just regular dudes like you meet every day. Not super thugs, not nerds, somewhere in between. They call the cops. They take the garbage bin out to the street. They eat cereal. They play video games. They get hair cuts. They get sick. They get better. They call their mom. They buy stuff that doesn’t work and call customer service. They pet their dog. REGULAR PEOPLE, MAN. Stop thinking they’re these fantasy gangsters that you want them to be.
You are trying to blur lines on purpose. Sure 99% of rappers are regular dudes and talking tough and spitting mob metaphors on am ill track doesn’t make you Tony Soprano at all. More a director like Spike or an actor like Jamie Foxx. Most people respect that even street cats. But most guys who are getting shot in rap are gang members who posted threats in a song on youtube and got shine off it. So whether you like it or not, they aren’t “regular” people they are street cats caught up in a lifestyle they feel like they have to represent. Industry chooses to hype these guys up – need to ask the tough questions.
Just to be clear – I’m a big fan of Benny the Butcher – all the Griselda guys but especially his flow and demeanor. I love the vibe of their albums and their lyrics can be brilliant more times than not. They compare well to even Wu Tang and that’s high praise from me. But nobody from Wu Tang ever claimed to still be active in the street beyond what security they needed to still visit peoples in the hood. Even that can be dangerous but dudes respected it. When you claim to be active it gives any loser the excuse to test you and feel justified. Might not be right but it is what it is. Hope the best for Benny. His best days are coming I’m sure.
WHO FUCKING CARES. WOW A BLACK GOT SHOT AGAIN MUST BE TRUMP. WHEN UR FUCKIN SAVIOR JOE BIDEN COMES IN WILL IT STOP. NO U FUCKIN LOSERS GOT PLAYED AGAIN THIS SHIT WILL NEVER STOP. THE MAIN ENEMIES ON BLACK PEOPLE….. IS BLACK PEOPLE U FUCKIN SHEEP FUCKS. GOOD LUCK ON UR FUCKING STAMPS FOREVER. U WILL NEVER BE EQUAL WITH THE BULLSHIT. U GOT PLAYED AGAIN. LYNDON JOHNSON QUOTE…. THE BLACKS WILL BE VOTING DEMOCRAT FOR 50 YEARS. U GUYS FUCKIN SUCK.
Hey man shut the fuck up and grab a snickers
Clearly u have some issues lmao u wrote all that bullshit in caps and made this about trump and biden ctfu u just mad that orange idiot/extremist/racist prick lost haha get over it lame bigger shit to worry about i think its hilarious how fired up ppl get over trump that fool dont care about u me or anybody for that matter let alone the country wont even concede smdh and thats ya hero president fuckboy……
It’s fun watching the Trump supporters turn into the crybabies now. My oh my, the tables have turned.
The sad thing about this comment. Is the fact that its most likely either a russian bot or a black person….
But he’s right. Biggest threat against a black man is another black man. If you can’t see that then you’re blind and never lived in an inner city, Tim
You’re pretty slow to bring up an argument in caps ranting on about the narrative trump blah blah another black man got shot blah blah..hip-hop is in its own world which influences the outside world..for these suburban kids that are in the same basement Biden is in and for those who upgraded to the attic please shut up. You know nothing about this culture you’re only consumers ..so keep supporting and stay out of hip hop politics. As for these shootings it is sad but these guys are really products of their environment..they need to switch the energy up..you’re only speaking your fate into existence when you rap about certain things. Energy is real and so is the power of manifestations.
Wtf man. Do Walmart pickup. You dont even have to leave the whip…
These up and coming artists I don’t give a fuck. Not the butcher.
BRRRRRRRRR!DUDUDUDU*hahaha*
Maybe he was staking so long, because he said some shit like “can I call up my cousin Westside Gun to do tge Adkins for this shooting real quick? Unfortunately there was too much dododododododododo and not enough skkkkrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Love benny as a artist but it goes to show u that anybody can get touched on these wicked streets
The butcher is coming. He’s taking a while. He’s hobbling over. It’ll take a minute, but… he’s coming!
It was the same guy who fired gun shots at the carwash in 2001! SLIM SHADY!!!!
911 is not just to call the police. Also, medical emergencies. Those bums didn’t even get the chains!!! GRISELDA!!!
Love butcher but these wrestling nerd fans need to stop with the studio super gangsta sh!t.
No Black Lives Matter vigil for black on black crime, they only turn up if it’s a white shooter.
Haha blacks the saddest race in America by far bruh smh only group of people to complain about everything and still not build upon anything lmaoo take the white man out the picture and they’ll blame the Arabs for taking they stores haha sad
Why would you shoot anyone in a robbery and not even leave with the loot? Damn these animals are stupid as f*ck, very short life span or a very long one behind the wall is coming their way and you can only say they deserve it
