Benny The Butcher Agrees That Being A Rapper Is The Most Dangerous Job

Jim Jones caused quite the debate last year when he said that being a rapper is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. 

He then doubled down on that opinion after Benny The Butcher was shot in November of 2020 in Houston on the same weekend that Boosie Badazz was shot in Dallas.

"So y’all still don’t agree with wht I said being a rapper is 1 of the most dangerous jobs in th world," wrote Capo back then.

Benny has now weighed in on Jimmy's opinion while speaking with HipHopDX and said he was right.

“I agree,” said the Buffalo rhymer, who dropped his mixtape The Plugs I Met 2 on Friday, March 19 . “There’s other guys who got more money than rappers and got maybe a better life than a rapper, but they still want the fame and they still want the spotlight because that’s what come with being a rapper. So guys envy you because of that. Everybody envy you because of the money you make. They envy you because of the position that you’re in."

"It’s not just the money either," added Benny. "It’s they look online and see a bunch of people loving you and praising you for the talent that you have. That’s dangerous. It’s like a king. It’s dangerous to be a king because everybody want to be the next king. Everybody wants your spot.”

Are Benny and Jimmy right?
