I don't think Benzino will like this anniversary today.
Speaking of Benzino, the guy is just a perennial screw up in business and life.
It's hard to fathom how he made many mistakes despite being in the rap game for a long time and had major backing, The Source specifically. He really squandered his major opportunity when he was a co-owner. Instead of getting support and collaborations with other artists for his projects by smartly using The Source to entice them with covers, articles about them or promotion for their projects, he had questionable or detrimental conduct during his ownership.
He had questionable or corrupt input in the album ratings. It was exposed that a phantom writer who didn't exist gave his Made Men group album a 4.5 rating in 1999. It was documented that he pressured writers to lower ratings on some albums, especially if he had issues with an artist.
But we all know his biggest mistake of his career was going at Eminem out of envy. He really tried to use The Source to destroy him. Eminem was the wrong one because he had major backing with The Machine (Interscope Records) & Jimmy Iovine. He really failed trying to sabotage Eminem's career with leaking an old recording of him rapping a racial slur in 2004. Eminem was safe at that point because he already had a massive fan base consisting of all races along with accumulating major units with his albums. It's not like Dr. Dre & 50 Cent were going to turn on him because of that. And it's not like Interscope Records & Iovine would drop him.
He has issues with his somewhat ascending musician daughter, Coi Leray.
Now he has a warrant on him.
The arrest warrant stems from an altercation involving his ex-girlfriend and a man she's dating.
