Benzino seems fed up with people poking fun at his neck, as he has now given people a clear look at his anatomy.
In clip from an unreleased Drink Champs interview posted on Tuesday (February 13), the former co-owner of The Source went off on those who have been saying he has no neck. Though he didn’t name Eminem in the snippet, the Detroit MC did ridicule the media proprietor’s build just last month.

“I got a fucking neck,” he said while stretching the collar of his shirt down to give everyone a look. “Everybody has a fucking neck. It’s what the fuck the head sits on, you stupid, idiotic motherfucker.
“Shannon Sharpe don’t got a neck. Shannon Sharpe’s neck’s big as me — y’all say nothing to Shannon Sharpe!”
Eminem recently took aim at his adversary of two-plus decades on a new song with Lyrical Lemonade called “Doomsday Pt. 2.” Reigniting his feud with the Boston native after originally beefing with him in the mid ’00s, the self-proclaimed Rap God mocked his rival’s financial woes and physical stature on the joint.
Over a sample of his classic hit “Role Model,” he raps: “Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh/ What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe/ ‘Go at his neck,’ how the fuck is that?/ How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have?”
The 58-year-old subsequently clapped back with “Vulturious,” on which he raised questions about Eminem’s sexuality and taunted him over the death of his close friend and collaborator, Proof.
Not long after, he further escalated the heat with a track called “Rap Elvis,” on which he assassinated his rival’s character by questioning his relationship to Detroit and Hip Hop.

“I am the culture, you don’t even be around/ You don’t even come outside, you don’t even see your town/ Icewear Vezzo said, ‘Em don’t be showing the city love’/ Why you ain’t got no words for him, huh?/ He in your city, bruh!” he raps.
“I wonder why, we wanna see, just say something, please/ Could it be possibly you ain’t really from them streets?/ I was born and raised in my city, you shouldn’t come for me/ I don’t know where you from but they say Missouri loves company.”
