Benzino Did Cocaine In A Strip Club Bathroom, Funky Dineva Alleges

October 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Benzino shared that he’s uncomfortable with transgender people. As expected, the controversial comment resulted in some backlash for the 58-year-old, and Funky Dineva was sure to check him. On an episode of Fox Soul’s Tea-G-I-F, the personality opened up about some of his first-hand experiences with the Boston native.

According to Funky Dineva, “Benzino is cool with the gays.” So cool, in fact, that he allegedly did cocaine with him in the bathroom of the Blue Flame Lounge strip club in Atlanta. “I’m finna fix his a*s,” he began. “Now this [was] back in the day, so don’t judge me for my past, because I don’t stay there no more. But we both were down there in that naked bar, snorting that cocaine.”

Funky Dineva Recalls Allegedly Doing Drugs With Benzino

“I’ve hung out with Benzino several times,” he continued. “It was never an issue.” In addition to his drug use allegations, Funky Dineva also claimed that Benzino is being “shady” when it comes to his alleged relationship with Shauna Brooks. Brooks, a trans woman, came forward in 2022, alleging that he had pursued a sexual relationship with her. While Benzino responded by claiming he’s only attracted to cis women, phone calls leaked by Brooks seemed to suggest otherwise.

Benzino then went on a Twitter rant in April, demanding that everyone in the LGBTQ+ community stop hitting on him. “Attention to all in the LGBTQ, abcd!!!” he wrote. “I respect y’all’s movement and your decision to be who you want to be BUT STOP THE WEIRD SH*T WITH THE COMMENTS AND FLIRTING. I’M NOT F*CKING FLATTERED BECAUSE I’M NOT GAY!! RESPECT THAT SH*T AS I RESPECT WHO YOU ARE!!” What do you think of Funky Dineva alleging that he did cocaine in a strip club bathroom with Benzino?

Funky Dineva claims to know several of the leading factors in Jeezy’s decision to divorce Jeannie Mai. In a video shared to Instagram, this week, Dineva reported that distance between the two, a lack of privacy on social media, and several more issues contributed to the split.

“I had to call up to Altanta, baby, and find out what all the hell was going on because I know people who are in their circle,” Dineva began, before admitting that the reason for their breakup is “nothing salacious.” They also cited multiple members of Mai’s family staying at their house for an extended period of time as taking a toll on the relationship, among other topics.

Jeezy filed for divorce in Fulton County Superior Court, last Thursday, and is seeking joint custody of their daughter in the separation. The two already have a prenuptial agreement in place; however, Mai reportedly plans to contest it. Jeezy has asked the court honor to the terms of his agreement. They signed the contract before their marriage in 2021. “The parties entered into Prenuptial Agreement dated March 26, 2021, that was duly signed and executed by both Petitioner and Respondent […] and resolves all financial issues incident to this divorce. The Prenuptial Agreement should be enforced and the terms set forth therein made the final Order of this Court,” court documents cited by HipHopDX read.

Funky Dineva’s brazen and no-holds-barred commentary has occasionally led to controversy throughout his career. Although he has remained mostly unapologetic about his opinions, he often finds himself in some sort of contentious discourse. Notable among his controversial moments is when he called Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, “ugly” in 2018. He was rightfully and severely chastised for his disparaging comment on the then-six-year-old. Nonetheless, he came forward to issue an apology for his comments, which many did not buy.

Following his comments about Chloe Bailey, Funky Dineva is once again in hot water. Furthermore, many are starting to take action. A petition to have him fired from FOX SOUL for his constant disrespect of Black women and girls. He currently co-hosts the talk show Tea-G-I-F alongside Claudia Jordan and Al Reynolds.

Funky Dineva Apologizes For Coming For Chloe Bailey’s Appearance, Reiterates That He Finds Her “Inauthentic”

August 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent Tea-G-I-F segment, Funky Dineva came for Chloe Bailey, and many fans felt as though he took things way too far. The Fox Soul personality was discussing some circulating rumors that the performer’s sister Halle could be pregnant. Amid the speculation, Chloe went live to defend her. “Y’all better keep my sister’s name out your mouth,” she warned viewers. “Thank you. Amen, hallelujah. ‘Bout to get me riled the hell up.”

Apparently, Chloe’s response to the gossip rubbed Funky Dineva the wrong way. He went on a tangent about how he felt her persona was fake, and included some choice words about her appearance. “Chloe Bailey is so godd*mn lame to me,” he explained. “First of all, girl, you are Miss Preppy Ashley from the suburbs. Then you came out being all promiscuous, and now you’re trying to be a gangster. None of it is f*cking believable.” He continued, “I’m probably gonna catch a lot of backlash for this, and without that makeup, she ain’t cute. She never should’ve shown up on that camera with that fat-a** face without no makeup.”

Countless viewers felt as though trashing the 25-year-old’s appearance was unnecessary, which he seems to agree with. In a new Tea-G-I-F segment, he partially apologizes for the rant. He claims to understand why so many viewers were upset by his comments, agreeing that he crossed the line when he mentioned her looks. Funky Dineva adds that he believes people were particularly offended since Chloe is believed to be “unproblematic.”

Though he acknowledges that dragging her image was unacceptable, he stands by his claims about her persona. “I 100% stand ten toes down on the fact that I think Chloe Bailey is inauthentic when it comes to her as an artist,” he says. “I think that the sexual image that she gives sometimes is unbelievable.” Funky Dineva continues, “But I also recognize that that’s where my commentary should have started and stopped.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Chloe Bailey.

Then you came out being all promiscuous, and now you’re trying to be a gangster. None of it is f*ckiung believable. And I’m probably gonna catch a lot of backlash for this, and without that makeup, she ain’t cute. She never should’ve shown up on that camera with that fat-ass face without no makeup.”
