The Eminem–Benzino rivalry has been a staple in hip-hop discourse since the early 2000s. Initially sparked by Benzino’s critique of Eminem’s influence in the hip-hop community, the conflict escalated with each artist releasing diss tracks aimed at the other. Amidst this backdrop, during his appearance on Drink Champs, Benzino opened the floodgates of his emotions, revealing the depth of his feelings about the longstanding feud with Eminem. “I don’t have nothing against Eminem. Em can rap, but I care about us more. I don’t want to talk about it no more,” he confessed, his voice heavy with emotion. This candid admission highlighted not just a personal plea for peace but also a father’s concern for his daughter, Coi Leray.

“For 22 years, every time I do an interview they ask me about Eminem. The f**k you want me to do? Come on, man. I love my daughter, I raised my daughter like any other street n***a,” Benzino continued, painting a vivid picture of the personal toll extracted by the feud.

“My daughter came into the industry figuring that ‘Hey, I gotta be cool with Eminem because everybody’s against my dad.’ You think this s**t is f***ing cool? Nah, man. We’re failing as a people,” he added, baring his soul and the impact of the rivalry on his family dynamics. He concluded by saying, “I don’t hate Eminem. I don’t know him to hate him. I don’t hate white people tired of this s**t, man. It’s just too much. I don’t want to be the bad guy.”

Meanwhile, Claressa Shields, an outsider to the hip-hop feud, but no stranger to combat, took to Twitter with a cutting remark. “I wanna go on @drinkchamps & I promise I’m not gonna pull a Benzino 😂 he tripped out,” she quipped. Shields’ tweet, terse and mocking, starkly contrasted Benzino’s emotional disclosure, adding a layer of public scrutiny to his display of vulnerability.
