Benzino is on the road to recovery thanks to the help of his new fiancée, singer Althea “Thi Thi” Heart. Love is helping Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star heal from the gun shot wounds he received last month at his mother’s funeral.

“She’s shown me the real meaning of love, it’s true,’ the rapper told the grio. “I’m going to marry her and have some babies. You hear that song right now, that’s her song, “Ghetto Love.” I love her.”

Benzino is expecting quick recovery despite wearing a sling on his right arm.

“I’m alright,” he said. “I’ve just about six more months of physiotherapy and I’m going to be good.”—Chris M. Garner
