Benzino, the former co-owner of The Source magazine and a notable rapper, has responded to 50 Cent’s recent trolling of his new freestyle rap titled “YNZ.” In a video posted on social media, Benzino expressed his surprise at 50 Cent’s interest in his work, suggesting that the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, seems to be particularly invested in his career.
In his remarks, Benzino acknowledged that while he was simply sharing a piece of his artistry, 50 Cent took the opportunity to poke fun at him. “I just put a little video out,” Benzino said, emphasizing that he was minding his own business when he noticed 50 Cent’s posts about him. He took this moment to remind 50 Cent of their history, hinting at past interactions and suggesting that the rapper owes an explanation to his fans regarding his behavior.
Benzino also challenged 50 Cent to step up his game, proposing a boxing match and urging him to produce a song that could rival “YNZ.” “I’m down to make a couple of Ms. I’ll go three rounds with your goofy ass,” Benzino declared, showcasing his confidence and willingness to engage in both musical and athletic competition.
In addition to the back-and-forth with 50 Cent, Benzino took the opportunity to promote his new movie, “TKO,” which he claimed is performing well in the rankings, even placing in the top five across platforms like Netflix and Prime. He expressed pride in the film’s success and acknowledged the support he has received from his team and fans.
Benzino’s video also included some personal jabs at 50 Cent, referencing the rapper’s fashion choices and past relationships, particularly with actress Jada Pinkett Smith. He hinted at a deeper rivalry, suggesting that 50 Cent’s criticisms stem from jealousy or insecurity.
As the feud continues to unfold, fans are eagerly watching how both artists will respond moving forward. Benzino’s “YNZ” freestyle, which he hinted may soon be available on all streaming platforms, is poised to be a focal point in this ongoing rivalry. With tensions high and challenges thrown down, the hip-hop community is abuzz with anticipation over what could come next from these two prominent figures.
