Benzino stopped by to talk with VladTV about his newborn baby, his baby mama drama, how he’s keeping healthy, and how there needs to be more positivity in the black community. In the interview Benzino let us know the gym seems to be the only thing keeping him “sane” these days. He also got into what’s going on with him and his baby’s mother, Althea. “I love my son. I love Althea.. this is her first child so sometimes you get post pardon, emotions get crazy, things happen..” Benzino let us know that he’s focused on his child and making his family work out. “I’ve been through so much Vlad. I try to keep my personal life private its hard to do that especially when you’re on reality TV…”
Benzino also expressed his feelings on bloggers, and the Black Lives Matter movement. “These bloggers sometimes can be real mean and nasty.. if we gone talk about Black Lives Matter we need to kinda figure and adjust on how we report Black lives.. we’re under this conclusion all press is good press and it’s not.” He went on to say if he feels it’s hypocritical when people scream Black Lives Matter but report bad things on the Black culture.
Benzino went in-depth about growing up in the streets before his reality TV stardom began. “By the time I was 13, 14, I was selling Crack, Weed, and Heroin, I was a hustler.” Benzino talked with us about going on to become successful in the hip-hop game and hustling the “legal” way.
