Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast member Stevie J accused rapper Benzino of making death threats, as reported by TMZ in an article published today (November 20).
“Stevie J tells TMZ … Benzino wouldn’t let it go … he went on a campaign of terror, threatening the lives of him and Joseline, producers and other staffers,” TMZ reports. “Stevie tells us, ‘He said flat out he was going to kill us.’ The threats were too much for VH1 and we’re told that’s why Benzino was banished.”
Benzino reportedly denies these claims.
Headlines circulated in late October that Benzino and finance Althea Eaton had been fired from the VH1 show, shortly after a fight between Eaton and Joseline Hernandez broke out at a cast reunion show, leading to hospitalizations.
“According to various sources, including TMZ, a huge brawl broke out when Benzino began to poke fun of Stevie J and his alleged wife Joseline Hernandez’ use of drugs,” HipHopDX reported in July. ”The insult ultimately led to several fights involving Benzino, Benzino’s fiancée Althea Heart, Stevie J, Joseline, Waka Flocka Flame’s mother and fiancée, and Mimi Faust, the mother of Stevie J’s daughter.”
The Boston rapper was the victim of a gunshot to the shoulder this March at his mother’s funeral in Massachusetts.
“According to reports, Benzino was shot numerous times by his nephew Gai Scott,” a March HipHopDX article reports. “It’s been reported that the shooting was the result of growing family tension involving Benzino, Scott, and other family members.”
Raymond “Benzino” Scott first appeared on VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” in 2012.
He threatened to leave the show in 2013 stating on Twitter, “IM DONE WITH THIS LOVE AND HIP HOP , I CANT DO THIS NO MORE, MY CHARACTER & FRIENDSHIPS ARE WAY MORE IMPORTANT, this is horrible.”
Benzino has been an asshole from day one and the reason for the Source Magazine’s downfall. He is one of the worst things to ever happen to hip hop period.
Damn mitchell steinfeld……your writings almost as bad as mine….i said almost though
Will someone please just kill this retard already.
“Waka Flocka Flames mother and fiance”…….da fuck????LMAO
hahahaha I saw that too. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt on that one, per how it was written.
never liked this corny ass muthafucka
remember when Bumpy Knuckles shut this lil peanut-head midget up for talking tough, lol he put a gun in his mout and little benzino shit his pants….ROFl.
lol bumpy is a G, theres a new story floating around how he put a gun to Birdman’s head and made him call up Wendy Day and apologize to her. 7 years later Birdman aint do shit.
holy shit i jus read an article on that right now. it wouldnt surprise me at all, as Bumpy is a real street nigga and not one to be fucked with.
Baby is one bitchass scared lil nigga.
This Freddie Fuxxx yo.. i never put a gun in BenzinHOE’s mouth but instead, he put his peepee in my mouth
ChicZino..
Im in the top ten
Benzino bout that life…….faggot life that is.
Benzino is idiotic. I remember when the Source Magazine used to have their “mixtape of the year” with the “biggest” songs of the year all together- they would shoehorn some Benzino/RSO affiliated song in there, even if it didn’t have any radio play or any street/club buzz at all. If it wasn’t for him getting over on Dave Mays early on, he wouldn’t remotely have this “legend” status in rap now.
So.. Waka Flocka is married to his mother?
I guess anything goes in atl, didn’t even know that shit was legal in any state or nothing like that yo
