Former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star and ex-owner of The Source Benzino has been arrested again. This time, TMZ reports he flew into a “jealous rage” and took it out on the mother of his child’s boyfriend — and the man’s truck.
The incident allegedly took place on Friday (July 31) in Braselton, Georgia where his ex Althea Eaton was hanging out with her new man. The two men reportedly engaged in a brief shouting match after the couple returned from a walk around the neighborhood. Benzino was waiting for them at the man’s truck and “approached him in a threatening and harassing manner,” the man said.
According to the police report, the man then attempted to climb into his 2018 Chevy Silverado, but Benzino allegedly struck the vehicle several times with his fist, leaving two dents in the driver’s side door.
But Benzino disputes this version of the story. Instead, he says he was threatened with violence first while watching his son play tennis, explaining, “a male came up to him and told him he was going to shoot him.”
Benzino Blames Racist Cops For Ongoing Drug Case
Although Benzino denied damaging the man’s Chevy, witnesses at the scene corroborated the alleged victim’s account. Police ultimately arrested Benzino on one count of criminal damage in the second degree and one count of disorderly conduct. He was transported to Gwinnett County Jail and booked around 12:45 p.m. local time. His bail has been set at $8,450.
As of press time, the 55-year-old is still behind bars.
I like how he’s like 60 years old but he dress like a teenager. Stay classy, black folk!
insecurities are real.

C’mon man, you bout to be 60 and you still acting like a kid. Grow up
Dresses like a kid too. The guy is a complete tool.
Benzino claiming to be the victim in a situation that he cause… Yet again.
Fuck this guy, only reason his name is news worthy is because he threatened Eminems daughter when she was like 8…
“you’re kicking 40’s door down” that was 2003, so he must be like 55 by now at least. What’s he doing still getting arrested?
It’s cuz no retirement home will take him in lol
Leave Benzino y’all, he’s a legend with 5 mics hahahaha
Let me address the idiot first. His clothes don’t have nothing to do with being black folk. He need to get some self control. He always fighting over a woman. We like a little jealousy but not to the extreme. Its not a turn on for your ass to be starting fights as a grown man. Always trying to check a man when he need to check his woman. Not with physical harm either.
Im a Goofy goober head ass
He has to handle things better as a man. It is nothing he can do or say when a woman loses interest in you. You just move on and focus on your children and self improvement. The brother definitely getting that work out in, he inspires me to get healthy
