Benzino Says He Blocked Eminem From Getting 5 Mics In The Source During Their Beef

by Daryl Nelson

Benzino came clean about stopping Eminem from receiving five mics in The Source during their beef in the early aughts.

The Boston rapper used to co-own the magazine until he got fired in 2006.

"I was the top of my motherf*ckin' food chain,” said Benzino on the My Expert Opinion podcast. "Even [Russell Simmons], Lyor [Cohen], all these n*ggas, Steve [Stoute] and everybody, they all had to answer to somebody ... I was the top of a damn near $75 million company when n*ggas wasn’t getting money like that. I got that big money first and I was the top of that, so when the Eminem thing came through The Source, at this point it’s getting disrespectful."

"So how the f*ck am I gonna have this n*gga in my magazine?" Zino asked the hosts. "Would you? You’re not gonna put nobody in your magazine to give this n*gga five mics after this n*ggas being disrespectful. You wouldn’t do it, man. Nobody would."

What are your thoughts on Zino using his former position at The Source to do Em dirty?
