Benny The Butcher Responds To Those Criticizing His Drug Lyrics, Evokes Malcolm X

by Daryl Nelson

While promoting his new Tana Talk 4 album, Benny The Butcher responded to people who come down on his lyrics.

The Griselda rapper is known for telling gritty street tales that involve a lot of violent imagery and talk of past drug sales. 

“Man, society or the fans or supporters, they glorify rappers too much," Benny told Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1, per AllHipHop.  "I am not Dr. Martin Luther King. I am not Malcolm X. I’m nobody like that. I’m not like a revolutionist or one of those type of dudes. I’m a rapper. I’m a guy out the hood who made it. I’m not a role model. I’m an example. I be hearing dudes say, ‘Man, I got more money than rappers.’ Get more money than Jeff Bezos. It’s like, ‘I dress better than rappers.’ Dress better than the fashion model. Why everything is compared to rappers? People are obsessed with rappers.”
