Benzino Addresses Eminem Beef

Eminem and Benzino's beef dates back to when Benzino was the co-owner of The Source and has never been resolved. Eminem rehashed the beef when he dissed Benzino on the track "Doomsday Pt 2," which was released in January. Benzino responded on back-to-back diss songs "Vulturius" and "Rap Elvis," which he released within 48 hours of each other, before proclaiming victory. Benzino appeared as a guest on Drink Champs on Feb. 17, where he broke down while addressing the beef.

"I don't hate Eminem," he said. "I don't know him to hate him. I don't hate White people. I'm tired of this s**t, man. It's just too much. I don't want to be the bad guy."
