G-Unit mogul 50 Cent has had his fair share of feuds with celebrities over the years. But despite his long list of rivals, they’ve never banded together against him—until now, perhaps. TV personality Benzino recently fired back at 50 after the rapper accused him of being a snitch, and things are heating up fast.
Much like 50’s infamous fallout with Floyd Mayweather, his beef with Benzino has been simmering for years. The two have traded jabs online, but their latest clash might just pull the former five-division boxing champ into the mix. So, what really went down? Did Benzino actually snitch? Buckle up—this one’s about to get messy.
You see, their rift reignited recently when 50 Cent accused Benzino of snitching on his nephew, Gai Scott, in connection with the 2014 shooting. This quickly prompted Benzino to fire back at ‘Fiddy’ through a video, which was further circulated by ‘HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED’ on social media. Meanwhile, in the video, Benzino followed his pattern of calling out the rapper for a boxing match.
While Benzino had made similar callouts to 50 in previous years, this time he seemed extra aggressive. “We can get in the ring, and I’ll beat your a**, Curtis,” Benzino told 50 Cent. “Yeah. Me and you could get in the ring for that money. 3 rounds/ I’ll whoop you. You big and sloppy and too stiff. And I don’t believe all that Golden Glove s**t. Alright, we gon’ put that to the side. Mayweather, holler at me. Believe me. I’ll be his Huckleberry.”

The Source co-owner went on to clarify the situation involving his nephew, who had once shot at him. According to Benzino, before he had a chance to make a statement, his nephew had already contacted the police and admitted to the shooting. Despite this, Benzino chose not to name his nephew in court. As a result, the nephew received an 18-month sentence—far lighter than the 15 years he could have faced had Benzino cooperated fully with authorities.
“So I don’t give a f**k about no Internet. I’m solid,” Benzino continued his 50 Cent rant. “50 Cent, you’re a p***y. My nephew, you’re a p***y. If there’s any real, real issues, I’m not hard to find. But that’s a fact. What I just said was fact. And the paperwork’s out there. So I don’t want to hear about no snitching s**t. I don’t want to hear it.”
It’s yet to be seen whether Floyd Mayweather answers Benzino’s call to help him prepare for a fight against 50.
