Benzino has addressed his tearful appearance on Drink Champs where he discussed his feud with Eminem.
In an Instagram post, the former publisher of The Source magazine acknowledged crying on the show and posted an image titled “reasons why crying is good.”

He wrote in the caption: “I had so much built up anger, frustration and evil built up inside of me…….Ngl, minus the alcohol….I needed that shit…..it really helped.”
Benzino also shared a post from a friend that said: “I see a lot of people laughing at Benzino crying, I don’t find that funny at all. I seen killers get emotional and start breaking down in tears.
“Crying don’t make you weak, crying is just a human emotion, don’t ever get it twisted, a n-gga will cry right before he push ya shit back.”
During his appearance on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s podcast this past weekend, a clearly intoxicated Benzino began to get visibly emotional when discussing his issues with Eminem.
“I don’t have nothing against Eminem,” he admitted. “He can rap but I care about us more. I don’t want to talk about it no more. My daughter came into this industry figuring, ‘I gotta be cool with Eminem because everybody is against my dad.’”

He continued: “I don’t hate Eminem. I don’t know him to hate him. I don’t hate white people. I’m tired of this shit, man. It’s just too much. I don’t want to be the bad guy. […] Eminem ain’t no bad person. He belongs in Hip Hop. It’s a big racist problem in America right now and Eminem could probably stop half of it.”
Eminem recently rekindled their decades-old beef on the song “Doomsday Pt. 2,” mocked Benzino’s financial woes and physical stature.
Over a sample of his classic hit “Role Model,” he rapped: “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?”
“Arms so short he can’t even touch his hands/ When they’re up above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks/ Sorry, I don’t mean to upset you, Ben/ When I talk about all the debt you in/ I hear that you been creepin’ on the low/ In them cheap hotels, that they catch you in.”

Benzino later fired back with two diss songs of his own, “Vulturious” and “Rap Elvis.”
