Dee-1 Checks Benzino in a recent Instagram post that will likely go viral. Benzino never turns down a chance to let his mental illness shine. The bigger question is whether he sees the shift happening around him. In the video, Dee-1 breaks down Benzino’s resume when it comes to doing work for God’s kingdom, and it does not hold up.
This brought back an experience I had with Benzino. We went back and forth in DMs after he got upset over an emoji I left on a post from Royce da 5’9″ during their beef. I took something from that moment, and I will cover it in a future article.
Benzino is clearly mentally ill and needs professional help. At times, I wish Eminem would come back and put the final nail in the coffin, but more than anything, I want to see Benzino get the professional and spiritual help his soul needs.
